Easy system management coupled with upgraded monitoring functionality makes the most of MOTOTRBO platform capabilities and boosts dispatch system performance.

We are happy to announce the new release of SmartPTT Radio Dispatch Software for MOTOTRBO! SmartPTT 7.3.0 introduces a range of new features and improvements to provide the user with even greater usability and reliability. Easy system management coupled with upgraded monitoring functionality makes the most of MOTOTRBO platform capabilities and boosts dispatch system performance.

New in SmartPTT 7.3.0

New system architectures

  • Support of Radio Activity simulcast base stations. In partnership with Radio Activity Srl - manufacturer of simulcast DMR equipment - SmartPTT expands the number of supported architectures and brings extended dispatch functionalities to simulcast DMR networks. The interface is completely IP-based and performed via IP Audio Gateway.

Enhanced reliability

  • Backup radioserver support. The backup server watches the main server and in case of its failure takes over the network control. It brings the overall system redundancy to a completely new level.

Advanced monitoring features

  • Full repeater control. Now SmartPTT integrates MOTOTRBO RDAC functionality and allows to remotely control your MOTOTRBO repeaters.
  • System infrastructure monitoring via SNMP. Additionally to MOTOTRBO repeaters, now almost all elements of network infrastructure can be monitored: UPS, routers, servers.
  • Hardware failures logging.
  • Coverage map reproduction based on RSSI level of the received signals from GPS-enabled MOTOTRBO radios.

improved system management

  • Automatic software update. Dispatch consoles can be automatically updated upon connection to a radioserver with a higher version of the software installed.
  • Dynamic routing of group calls between sites based on subscriber registration information.
  • Black list for automatic blocking of unauthorized radios in the MOTOTRBO network.
  • Monitoring of private calls between subscribers can be limited for specific dispatchers.

Minor changes:

  • Custom consoles improvements (custom colors for buttons, different options to activate elements).
  • Enhanced rules and GPS rules features: new actions and conditions added.
  • Extended support for all types of multi-touch screens.
