Dispatch your DMR network.
DMR is the digital radio most professional fleets actually run. Respondr bridges it into an IP dispatch console, so the handsets in the field, the smartphones in the vans and the operator at the desk all sit on the same channels.

This page is about dispatching a DMR network. The hardware that makes the bridge, and the other radio standards, have their own pages.
Tier I, II and III, into IP.
A radio gateway sits between the DMR network and Respondr, translating audio and signalling both ways. Conventional and trunked systems are both handled, and the radios in the field carry on working exactly as they did.
Every talkgroup on one screen.
The dispatcher sees each DMR talkgroup as a channel, with live transmit and receive state, per-channel volume, and the radio ID of whoever is speaking. Channels can be patched together for the length of an incident and unpatched afterwards.
Things a DMR radio cannot do alone.
Once the network is on IP, the dispatcher gets what the radio protocol never carried: full recording with search, a map of where units are, and a set of clients that do not need a radio at all.

Frequently asked questions
No. The radios stay on the network they already use. A gateway bridges that network into Respondr, and the dispatcher, the phones and the radios end up on shared channels.
Yes, through the FunkTronic FT638 or a RadioActivity Kairos. Tier II conventional systems are supported by all three active gateways.
Yes. Both networks are bridged into the same platform, and a dispatcher can patch a DMR talkgroup to a TETRA channel for as long as the incident lasts.
Yes. The gateway passes the radio ID of the transmitting unit, and the console shows it live and stores it with the recording.
Recordings are stored with channel, time and the transmitting unit, searchable and playable from the console, with retention set per deployment. Optional transcription makes them searchable as text.
