Interoperability Solutions

Whether utilized to facilitate everyday communications between radio users and iDEN users or for emergency deployment only, the Raytheon JPS ACU-M is an affordable way to stay connected.

Interoperability for Emergencies—or Every Day

Whether you need to connect to a local police department during an emergency, or simply need to connect two internal departments operating on different communications systems, the Raytheon ACU-M is a cost-effective and easy-to-deploy solution. Many organizations have one department, such as Security, using traditional 2-way radios, while another deparement, like Facilities Management, is using Nextel phones. The ACU-M allows you to connect up to four radio frequencies and/or Nextel systems, making commucation between these groups as easy as pushing a button.

Raytheon JPS NXU-2a

The Raytheon NXU-2a (Network eXtention Unit) uses RoIP (Radio over IP) technology to enable radios to be interconnected across the room or around the world.

Raytheon ACU Cables

Raytheon JPS cables connect radios and iDEN phones to any of the ACU products including ACU-M, ACU-1000, and ACU-T.

Emergency Rooms Linked Statewide in Emergency

The Illinois Terrorism Task Force (ITTF) Communications Committee is orchestrating a project to provide a common RF communications link between hospital emergency department in the state.

The Illinois Hospital Radio System allows the flexibility of local/regional communications as well as the ability to commonly link the state during times of extreme emergency.  A GAI-Tronics Model ICP9004A, four-channel, desktop console and a conventional radio base station for each hospital location package was selected and purchased through TESSCO’s GSA schedule.

The terrorism task force will give hospitals two frequencies for common operation during emergencies outside the parameters of normal daily operations. One frequency will be used for communications between hospitals in a common region. The other frequency will provide communications with ambulances that might arrive from any region in the state. Each hospital will add local or daily operation frequencies and will secure the services of local radio dealers for equipment installation.
