Back a number of years go, we used Cisco routers with E&M cards to link a bunch of remote base stations back to a major dispatch center. Across about 9 states in fact, for an air ambulance service.
Fairly simple, we spent a day in the Cisco Lab at St Louis showing cisco what we wanted to do. Tone remote panels at each end connected to the 1750 or 3600 series routers, and it worked very slick. They could talk and listen from each station, key up the transmitters, change channels, turn scan on and off, etc. Recently that dispatch center took all that out and went to this, which is basically the same thing but they say "interoperable communications" - the FEMA buzzword that magically makes everything better... http://www.twistpair.com/index/wave-communicators Those of us in public safety know we had interoperable communications for years, we just called it mutual aid channels. But I digress....... We originally used a Frame Relay cloud, but then they went to internet as it became more available. I hear they have a lot of that equipment available if someone wants some used equipment. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
