What's New in 8.4

Support of PTT-microphones by Imtradex and other brands§

New version of SmartPTT supports Imtradex microphones with embedded PTT button. PTT Microphones of other brands, as well as other COM and USB devices, are also supported. PTT buttons of those devices can be programmed as hot keys.

Select 5 support expansion§

All call and emergency call are now supported in Select 5 signaling mode, maximizing the functionality usage. While in progress of All Call, dispatcher console will show the ID of a calling subscriber.

Combined mode for Linked Capacity Plus and Capacity Plus§

SmartPTT architecture was enhanced to work in MOTOTRBO Linked Capacity Plus, Capacity Plus, IP Site Connect topologies through IP-link via NAI Data, without NAI Voice. Combined mode allows data transfer via NAI Data, while voice is transmitted via control stations. This solution is applicable to networks with limited NAI Voice support.

Subscriber Security enhancements – Lone worker, Man Down, Emergency Signal§

Now it is possible to play specific sound on dispatcher console when alarm takes place. It is also possible to play specific sound to subscriber, when Lone Worker alarm is in progress. Map will be automatically centered on the originator of alarm. Only subscribers from specified category will be shown on the map, other map labels will be hidden. Dispatcher can generate a report of events happened in Lone Worker mode. Man Down mode can be automatically enabled or disabled based on system events, e.g. when Subscriber enters dangerous zone.

Other enhancements and added functionality§

  • New Custom Consoles elements were added: “Telemetry” and “Telemetry-status”. These elements allow sending telemetry commands and receiving the status of telemetry pins correspondingly. “Call log” element in Custom consoles has changed significantly.
  • Extension dialing of radio subscriber ID for PBX users. Radioserver can perform as Automated secretary, allowing PBX phone user to dial specific subscriber’s ID or group’s ID after calling to radioserver.
  • Tiled Raster maps support. Map system splits raster map into smaller “tiles” and stores them all in the database. This functionality eliminates the restriction for size of offline raster map. This feature is useful for clients with big coverage.
  • Enhancements in Monitoring function interface. Now it is possible to monitor different networks simultaneously. Networks to be monitored are selected from the list. Additional option to show connected radioservers in horizontal list instead of vertical can suit multi-screen environment.
  • Dispatcher profile now contains an option to set a pool of subscribers to be controlled by a specific dispatcher.
  • Sound notifications for system messages. For example, when connection with radioserver is lost, a sound can be played on the dispatcher console to attract attention of the dispatcher.
  • RAS mode is now supported (RAS – Restricted access to system).
  • Web client operator can now set names for subscribers to be shown on online list and map.
  • Extended Simulcast support. Added ability to work with Radio Activity repeaters in analog mode. Radioserver can connect to multiple audio gateways in the same subnet. Added possibility to bridge analog radio subscribers with digital radio subscribers. Call Alert functionality is supported.
