Omnitronics 960SIP radio dispatch console

Omnitronics’ 960SIP radio dispatch console is a hardware console designed, assembled, tested and supported at the company’s Osborne Park headquarters in Perth. The 960 console entered production in 1996 and was re-engineered for IP as the 960SIP in 2008.

Available in 6- and 12-channel variants with SELCALL, DTMF and ANI signalling, the console is sealed against dust and operable in gloves — requirements set by the Australian mine sites, gas plants and vehicles it was built for. Users continue to specify it where a physical switch must keep working in dust, in gloves and when a screen has failed. It is in service across mining, oil and gas, police, utilities, national parks and vehicle-mounted command posts.

All industrial, circuit, firmware and mechanical design is Australian intellectual property wholly owned by Omnitronics, and every console is serialised, batch-tested and released from Perth. Current users include the Western Australia Police Force, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) in Western Australia, the NSW Rural Fire Service, and the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service; recent export orders have gone to TSLO Telecom in France, Cogent in New Zealand and Akvarius in Latvia.
