RoIP Systems

Radio Over Internet Protocol (Radio Over IP or RoIP) is a method of communication that interconnects standard two-way radios with an IP network such as the public Internet. RoIP introduces the ability to allow radios to communicate directly with Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones, analog telephone adapters (ATAs) and even the ability to interface with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). This connectivity with the PSTN allows radios to communicate with cellular phones as well as landline telephones anywhere in the world. This technology has far reaching applications from transportation systems to emergency services to military use.

In its simplest form, a Radio Over IP system converts a radio signal to digital data suitable for transport over an IP network and vice versa. A RoIP network consists of some number of radios, which could consist of a combination of handheld, mobile, and fixed two-way radios along with a gateway device that provides the interface to an IP network.

Radio Over IP offers numerous advantages to both existing radio networks as well as newly implemented communications systems. One example of these advantages is the ability to extend the range of an existing radio network to anywhere where access to the public Internet is available. By using any number of available VoIP service providers that interface with the PSTN, the radio network can connect to a cellular or landline telephone thus extending the range of the network to anywhere in the world. Another advantage that Radio Over IP provides is interoperability between differing radio networks. By providing a common interface between the different networks, RoIP allows two RoIP gateway devices to communicate with each other directly using the Internet Protocol regardless of what type of radio networks the gateways are associated with.

VOCAL's robust and comprehensive suite of software libraries provide the foundation for our RoIP Systems and allow us to provide a complete RoIP solution across a wide variety of platforms. Our VoIP suite is fully integrated and highly configurable, including a Network Stack, SIP Stack, full-featured Telephony software, as well as a wide range of VoIP vocoders. Together with SRTP, SDES, IPsec, and our encryption libraries, VOCAL's VoIP software can ensure privacy and security of all communications.
