SmartPTT 7.1.0. The new version provides the users of MOTOTRBO and SmartPTT systems with more possibilities in fleet management and reporting, in addition to the enhanced user interface.

We are proud to present the latest release of the dispatch software for MOTOTRBO - SmartPTT 7.1.0. The new version provides the users of MOTOTRBO and SmartPTT systems with more possibilities in fleet management and reporting, in addition to the enhanced user interface. You can find the full list of major new features below.

Email Gateway
Text message service is expanded with new Email Gateway function. Email Gateway allows email users to send text messages to the particular subscriber or subscriber group of MOTOTRBO radio network. Also it allows duplicating messages sent within the MOTOTRBO radio network to the email addresses specified in the Radioserver Configurator.

Enhanced Lone Worker
Functionality of dispatch control of subscribers in the Lone Worker mode is considerably expanded. Now the dispatcher has the opportunity not only to register the Lone Worker rules violation, but also send the violator a text message or sound notifications upon the end of the specified silence time interval or other event. For the convenience of monitoring Lone Worker subscribers, to SmartPTT Dispatcher the new Lone Workers panel was added. This pane allows user to view Lone Workers, marked with the specific color corresponding to the degree of deviation from the specified criteria.

Multi-touch Support
The support of multi-touch screens for dispatcher consoles was added in this version. Now you can make a call to a subscriber or a dispatcher, as well as establish connection between PBX and radio network subscribers, just by a single tapping with two fingers the control elements in the custom consoles, corresponding to those subscribers.
   
Rules in Radioserver Configurator
The opportunity to set rules (on a wide range of criteria) and perform actions (playback sounds, send a message) upon the occurrence of events specified by the rules was added in the SmartPTT Radioserver. This functionality is available in a new tab of Radioserver Configurator - Rules. Previously this opportunity was available only for the dispatch console operators.
   
Routes
This is the new tool in GPS Monitoring feature set that significantly extends functionality to control of highly mobile subscribers moving along the predefined routes (for example, employees of transportation companies). Route, starting with the version 7.1.0, is a polyline connecting key points' locations. Subscriber location near the key points is identified by the specified radius of the route and can be summarized in the Subscriber Locations report. From now on please distinguish the meaning of the route from the pre-existing concept of the trajectory of subscriber’s movement, which now is called Track.
   
Telephone Interconnect for Capacity Plus with Direct IP Connection
Starting with this version, the possibility to make calls to phone subscribers through SmartPTT Telephone Interconnect service is also available for the subscribers of MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus trunking system, which is dispatched over the direct connection to this system by IP channels. In that case the call will be placed using one of the base radios connected to Radioserver.
