Let our dedicated Systems Design and Engineering team create a solution for you.

Paging Systems

Industrial Communications paging vendors include Multi-tone and US Alert. Specializing in delivering wireless voice and messaging systems to organizations worldwide. Whether you require radio-paging systems, personal security or the mobility offered by wireless telephone systems, our Systems Design and Engineering team can configure a system to meet your needs.

Paging, in one form or another, has been in use since the 1950s. Beginning with a simple voice announcement transmitted over an analog channel, to Selective Call, 2/5 Tone Signaling in the 1970s, and sending alphanumeric messages in the early 1980s, paging continues to be used in critical messaging applications.

Today alphanumeric paging is used in healthcare, large enterprise and public safety applications supported on private and commercial paging networks. 2 Tone analog paging continues to be used predominately by volunteer fire departments, EMT and EMS personnel on private networks.

There is no reason to believe paging as we know it today will be replaced anytime soon given its advantages of reliability and message latency. However, as new critical messaging networks are being built a common question is, can paging be added?

SCADA/Data Applications

Supervisory control and data acquisitions allows data to be monitored, captured, displayed, and retransmitted between a variety of host and remote client equipment. Applications include advanced tracking algorithms, allowing devices to report on polled, timed, or exception conditions and return velocity, health, event log and time, as well as other under defined parameters. Data can also be recorded and accumulated over extended periods and then transferred in “rapid fire” at pre-programmed time intervals.

Emergency Warning Systems

In order to provide citizens with the most effective emergency warning system possible, cities, municipalities, universities, industrial and nuclear power plants all utilize outdoor warning sirens for all national weather service storm warnings, as well as a complete solution for emergency and mass notifications. Sirens are still the most effective method to warn the population at large in the shortest amount of time.

In addition, mass notification systems involve applications that allow campus authorities to send out specific information via landline telephone, cell phone, SMS text and email. This system’s versatility in both message flexibility and delivery method provides a truly complete solution to notify anyone within range of a phone or a computer.

The Wave Plus

The WAVE Plus is the most feature-rich and effective instant notification system available. Having an emergency notification system that alerts local law enforcement of an incident without delay is crucial. Alarm messages transmitted over the radios carried by law enforcement is simply the fastest and most efficient way to notify officers of an emergency.

Wireless Broadband

Point-to-point wireless broadband is an ideal solution for many unique applications: hot spots, “last mile” access, backhaul, security/surveillance and more.

Public Safety

During tactical operations, every SWAT team member has a specialized role within the unit, and each position experiences distinct communications challenges. Someone carrying a shield in one hand and a weapon in the other cannot easily access a Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. A sniper must keep both hands steadily on their rifle, even when needing to access their radio to message a teammate. During SWAT operations, every second matters, and seamless communication can mean the success of the operation, and the life or death of the professionals and civilians involved.

Each SWAT member has gear customized for his or her role, and each uniform has specialized communication needs. SWAT officers can customize their solution and communicate more effectively with a Tactical Kit that can be configured with up to four unique audio accessories and three PTT options. Each situation is different, and SWAT teams need to be prepared for every possible scenario.

Imagine that a criminal is barricaded in a building and the SWAT team is called in.  The shield operator is the first one to enter the building. He leads the rest of the team, holding the shield in one hand and the gun in the other. To provide critical updates on the changing situation, he needs to press the radio PTT button in order to communicate. A Ring PTT can be attached in a variety of ways so the officer can easily PTT without taking his finger off his weapon’s trigger.

The SWAT team needs to be ready and listening for further direction while also being aware of their surrounding environment. They need to protect their hearing in order to set off a stun grenade, also known as a flash bang, to disrupt hearing and balance, prior to entering a building. A bone conduction device called Temple Transducer allows officers to receive the radio communication via bone vibration to the inner ear canal. At the same time, this headset enables the team to wear critical hearing protection during the flash bang. It also leaves the ears open to hear critical noise in their surrounding environment after the bang. Being able to comfortably wear the Temple Transducers under helmets and protective masks makes this bone conduction device a perfect fit for Special Forces.

At times, SWAT members need to transmit through the radio very discreetly, speaking softly so that a suspect cannot hear the conversation. The Throat Microphone is so sensitive that it allows whispering to be transmitted quickly and clearly. This device, which uses advanced microphone technology, picks up the vibrations from the users throat so there is no noise interference when transmitting through the radio.  SWAT officers feel confident in using a Throat Microphone to communicate, and can comfortably wear any protective head gear without the  audio accessory getting in the way.

These solutions and other tactical devices easily attach to one interface and allow SWAT officers to change the devices they are using based on the operations they face.

Motorola Solutions continues to develop solutions that help officers communicate seamlessly in critical situations so that they can focus on preventing disasters.
