If you had the opportunity, what would you change in your critical communication system?
Uncomplicate
The truth is that great transformations begin with small changes. Every manager I know and speak to nowadays would like to have a robust communication system with high availability, redundancy, intrinsically safe equipment, and customized management tools, not to mention, of course, an integrated app. With the arrival of COVID-19, a new need has emerged: resources that allow professionals to work from home.
The great paradox in meeting these demands—which, by the way, are legitimate—is that, in the vast majority of radio communication systems, their main function, which is to talk and listen (Push to Talk), is not being fully met, leaving users "in the dark" due to lack of coverage. As a consequence of this inefficiency, Operations Centers become ineffective in their primary purpose of responding and informing promptly. The result is lost lives, an immeasurable loss for society and the State.
The greatest challenge for these managers is limited budgets, which rarely allow for a complete and definitive solution. In this scenario, it is necessary to make smart choices and scalable investment options to achieve gradual improvements. Furthermore, managers need to choose technologies that enable integration with their legacy systems so they are not penalized by having to discard their entire infrastructure.
Simplify
To simplify means to make things simpler, less complex, easier—and this is possible even with a limited budget. What you need is to define your priorities and work with scalability, that is, doing what is feasible today with a solution that can be reused and expanded. For example: Do you have a scenario where you need to bring communications from a specific region outside your RF metropolitan coverage area? The solution lies in digitizing remote communications and bringing them to the Operations Center via the IP network. This is possible even if you have a transitional system (digital + analog). This solution also allows you to perform not only centralized dispatch but also the integration of multiple technologies.
Transform
Turning impossibilities into reality: by doing more with less and integrating remote locations, you will enhance your communication system through digitization without the need for significant investments in repeater site infrastructure. You can even integrate communications from local base stations securely and efficiently.
The management of your dispatch system will enable quick decision-making, allowing even the centralization and decentralization of services based on demand or critical situations such as a natural disaster or a pandemic.
The digital dispatch system also ensures that future investments in the radio frequency system, whether an expansion or even a protocol change, will preserve the investment made, as the digital system TXROIP é multiprotocolo.
Invest wisely
Uncomplicating, simplifying, and transforming your critical communication system is more than just a desire. It has become a necessity. Changes and new demands are emerging at an ever-increasing speed. That's why Remotatec is much more than a technology company. We invest first and foremost in intelligence to develop systems that meet the new challenges of operations centers and adapt to the reality of each company.
