Interoperability for Emergencies—or Every Day

Emergency interoperability is all about incident preparedness, situation management, and system reliability. But when you're in the field, in a crisis, what you care most about is speed and simplicity. The answer is the Raytheon ACU-M. The versatile ACU-M is feature rich, simple to use and can be networked and managed remotely. Its intuitive interface enables sure operation and provides field diagnostics and programming capabilities. The ACU-M can connect up to audio devices, 2 VoIP channels (with Network Option), and the local operator.

Mobile Command Vehicle

When an incident occurs, many agencies roll out their Mobile Command Vehicles. TESSCO can help you outfit and maintain your MCV. With a wide array of mobile antennas, dispatch consoles, interoperability units, mobile power products, installation supplies, batteries and battery chargers, TESSCO is your source.

Interoperability Antennas

The need to maintain urgent communications between emergency responders at local, state and federal levels has been proven time and again. The STI-CO Interoperable Antennas complement gateway transmission systems during critical incidences, enabling first responders to communicate seamlessly using VHF, UHF, and 700/800 MHz transmission devices. With only one antenna to mount on a rooftop, tower, or command vehicle, command posts are set up and operating quickly.

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 for each hospital location was selected and purchased through TESSCO's GSA schedule. Each hospital was also provided with a conventional radio base station.

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.

Radio Over IP

The Raytheon NXU-2A connects communications equipment to a digital network using RoIP (Radio over Internet Protocol) technology. It is intended for use with radio communications consoles, communications radios, and products such as the ACU-1000 and the SNV-12 Voter. The NXU-2A is a general-purpose standalone device that interfaces full duplex audio, one RS-232 port, and four status bits onto an Ethernet network. A pair of NXU-2As can form a simple system that creates a transparent communications link between the two.
