Radio over IP (RoIP) connects your radios over IP networks such as satellite and cellular. This extends coverage, eliminates network gaps, and provides enhanced capabilities like interoperability, cross-banding, and GPS location tracking. With the right RoIP solution, when you hit the PTT button, your call goes through – no matter where you are.

A good RoIP solution combines quality hardware and software to ensure your radios and communication system work seamlessly every time. To meet a wide range of operational needs, Skymira provides three RoIP configurations. Each has unique advantages and can be used alone or combined with the other configurations to create comprehensive solutions. The three configurations are…

In-Vehicle RoIP

Install a RoIP gateway directly in your vehicle for mobile connectivity. This setup is ideal for agencies and organizations with fleets that rely on RoIP day in and day out. Electric coops, law enforcement agencies operating in remote areas, and wildland fire departments are a few examples of users who depend on in-vehicle RoIP for constant coverage in the field..

Skymira RoIP GoKIT

This portable radio kit delivers plug-and-play coverage, interoperability, and cross-banding within minutes. Designed for rapid deployment, it’s perfect for quick setups in different locations, mounting in various vehicles, or serving as a reliable emergency backup. Skymira GoKITs are frequently used by law enforcement departments, first responders, disaster-response teams, and others.

Fixed-Site RoIP

Add RoIP for a fixed location such as a command post, dispatch center, drill site, or warehouse. This is a great way to keep HQ connected with teams in the field. Fixed-site RoIP is used by utility companies, law enforcement teams, fire departments, and others.

Real Life Combinations

With RoIP, you’re able to mix-and-match any of the three configurations to meet your operational needs. For instance, Missoula Electric Cooperative uses a combination of in-vehicle and fixed-site RoIP to keep their team connected. A recent Department of Corrections exercise used Skymira GoKITs and fixed-site RoIP to connect multiple departments and agencies – on location and at the command center – for reliable communications throughout the operation.
