Radio Over IP



Midland's VoIP/RoIP uses PCs, software and two-way equipment to maximize use of Wide Area Network bandwidth across town or around the world.

Midland Radio's Voice Over Internet Protocol/ Radio over Internet (VoIP/RoIP) takes an existing Wide Area Network using PCs and turns it into a private voice communications system capable of reaching the farthest point on the WAN.

VoIP is a dynamic package of Midland Fixed IP controller software and hardware, duplex controllers and Midland two-way radio base stations like the Base Tech II. VoIP turns each PC on the WAN into a powerful communication node capable of directing traffic to and from up to 64 compatible base/repeater stations and an almost unlimited number of mobile units.

An employee using a VoIP software-equipped PC on the network can activate a pull-down menu and "point-and-click" to link up with any mobile or portable two-way radio on the WAN by using that particular base/repeater station's unique IP address. Once the recipient answers, a two-way conversation can be held regardless of where the participants may be located... as long as the radio user remains within range of a Midland base station or repeater connected to a gateway PC on the network.

How Midland e-Tech VoIP/RoIP Works


Midland Radio's Radio/Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP/RoIP) takes an existing Wide Area Network using PCs and turns it into a private two-way voice communications system capable of reaching the farthest point on the WAN. With RoIP/VoIP, a manager at a Houston-based oil company, for instance, could talk directly to a platform boss' two-way in Bahrain if there was a RoIP/VoIP-equipped computer on the parent WAN and base station within range of that radio.

RoIP/VoIP is a dynamic package of Midland Fixed IP controller software and hardware, duplex controllers and Midland two-way radio base stations like the Base Tech II. VoIP turns each PC on the WAN into a powerful communication node capable of directing traffic to and from up to 64 compatible base/repeater stations and an almost unlimited number of mobile units.

RoIP/VoIP allows voice communication from a PC on a network equipped with a Midland base station enabled with VoIP. Essentially, an employee using a VoIP software-equipped PC can activate a pull-down menu and "point and click" to link up with any mobile or portable radio within range of any base/repeater on the WAN by using that particular stations unique IP address.

VoIP can be used on almost any type of computer network. The internet does not have to be involved to use VoIP. (However, users can access their networks via the Internet and then use VoIP to communicate with radios on the WAN.) Ethernet is the most popular type of network.

Midland's new Base Tech II two-way base station comes fully loaded with unique firmware in its CPU. This firmware helps drive the linkage with a controller PC on the network. Once completed, this connection opens the entire network to the base station. Geographic, distance and environmental considera-tions that limit easy communication are eliminated.
