Dispatch Operations and Interoperability Solutions |
|
Complementing your existing Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems, Sprint's LMR solutions allow personnel at a dispatch center or incident command post to identify and communicate with resources, regardless of device type or proximity to the point of dispatch. This approach will not only help to resolve traditional geographic and inter-agency communication barriers, but also minimize everyday operational challenges by:
Consolidating Dispatch Operations:Incorporates logistical, inspection, prevention, public works and other less-critical operations into your dispatch center.
Conserving Radio System Frequencies:Frees up your LMR channels for First Responders by off-loading non-critical communications.
Enhancing Overall Coverage and Capacity:Supplements your private systems' coverage, removing traditional boundaries and limitations.
