Mobile incident response trailer

A mobile incident response trailer has been commissioned by C4i to provide deployed incident response personnel with a transportable, highly integrated communications structure.

The system includes one operator position with the capability to integrate communications from six different radios into a single headset.

At the heart of the design for a major Australian rail transport organisation is C4i's SwitchplusIP system - packaged into a rugged, weather-resistant trailer that is easily towed by a vehicle to the site of an incident. Built to cater for areas lacking in radio coverage, the trailer can be set up anywhere to act as a 'communications hub' at the site of an emergency.

Using the HMI touch-screen operator console unit, the operator may converse with on-site tech experts using new SIP mobile phones, users of existing Motorola radios or the train driver in need.

The system can make and receive telephony calls over Telstra's 3G network, in addition to transmitting and receiving audio from all radios simultaneously.

Features include wireless PTT functionality, configurable operator roles and individual operating preferences such as volume control.

It has radio-radio and radio-telephony patching.
