Daniels Electronics digital universal interface card

Daniels Electronics has developed, with Catalyst Communications Technologies, a second-generation IP digital interface between the two companies‘ products that provides new features for users including the P25 unit ID, P25 emergency indicator and satellite connectivity.

The digital universal interface card provides a digital ethernet connection from the MT-4 P25 radio system to other LMR subsystems in a network. The updated card will provide Daniels users with enhanced signals through an ethernet interface including: P25 unit ID, emergency indicator and satellite connectivity.

Catalyst release 5.7 provides a full-featured dispatch console for the MT-4 base station routing digital audio and control messages through an ethernet interface. Now the Unit ID of a P25 subscriber radio can be seen by the dispatcher, translated into an alias from a centralised database and stored for visual review and used in conjunction with integrated voice recording. Similarly, emergency messages from P25 subscriber units can be seen and logged on the console.
