Interoperability testing undertaken by Kodiak, Zetron

Interoperability testing for Zetron’s MAX dispatch has now been completed by Kodiak.

Its Project 25 (P25) Console Sub-system Interface (CSSI) solution has been tested for LMR interoperability with the dispatch system.

The CSSI provides IP-based connectivity for direct communications between the Kodiak Broadband PTT solution and Zetron’s MAX dispatch system. The direct communications afforded by CSSI enable dispatcher-controlled patching between Broadband PTT users and any type of analog or digital LMR network connected to the MAX dispatch radio console system.

The direct communications also make dispatch and resource coordination easier as dispatchers can use both group and one-to-one calls to communicate directly with Broadband PTT users.

Interoperability between MAX dispatch and Kodiak Broadband PTT makes it possible for private and public organisations to augment their LMR communications and connect more people, in more places, with a wider choice of devices than ever before. In addition, interoperability makes the MAX dispatch system the hub for all push-to-talk communications, from LMR to LTE.

“Providing LMR interoperability between our Broadband PTT solution and the Zetron dispatch consoles makes it possible for organisations to increase the value of push-to-talk communications by expanding users, extending coverage and reducing costs,” said Bruce Lawler, chief product officer of Kodiak.

“With testing completed between our MAX dispatch and AcomNOVUS systems and the Kodiak Broadband PTT solution, organisations of all sizes and types can take advantage of LMR augmentation to increase employee collaboration and improve their efficiency,” said Charles (Lin) Lindsey, director of strategic partnerships for Zetron.

“Interoperability between our dispatch consoles and the Kodiak Broadband PTT solution ensures that fast, reliable, secure push-to-talk communications are available to all users, whenever or wherever needed.”
