Overview

Skymira’s P25 IP relay (P25-IPR) creates a highly secure, portable P25 radio network that transmits audio, subscriber ID, GPS location, and emergency alerts from P25 radios over an IP network.

This is brand new technology that Skymira has designed and developed to meet a need for P25 radio users. It provides secure, reliable push-to-talk communications for a wide variety of previously unserviced and underserved users and situations.

The P25-IPR is versatile because it works with all P25 radios and operates on any IP network. The vendor agnostic design allows Skymira’s P25-IPR to work with P25 radios from all major brands including Motorola, Kenwood, EF Johnson, Harris, Tait, BK, and others. Optimized for satellite with very low bandwidth requirements, it works over private and public internet networks including satellite, LTE, FirstNet, fiber, and others. This gives you choices and allows you to control your own land mobile radio network.

Skymira’s P25-IPR saves lives with GPS tracking and man down alerts and saves money with affordable regulation compliance. Integrated into new and existing two-way radio systems, the P25-IPR will eliminate coverage gaps, provide affordable CJIS compliance, increase worker safety, and create seamless interoperability.

Filling in dead zones, providing remote coverage, and remaining independent of outages reduces communications-based safety hazards and increases operational efficiency.

Increase Safety

Ensure all personnel are safe and accounted for with reliable GPS location tracking and emergency alerts. By transmitting GPS location, subscriber ID, and man down alerts from P25 radios via an IP network, safety-conscious employers can increase worker safety and accountability.

Affordably Achieve CJIS Compliance

Get CJIS compliance without building expensive, new infrastructure by integrating Skymira’s IP relays. This simple, cost-effective solution allows you to utilize the equipment best suited to your needs and budget.

Control Your P25 System Life Cycle

Regain control over choosing your own equipment and networks without external oversight and requirements. Skymira’s P25-IPRs provide an alternative that gives the control back to you. This allows you to choose the equipment that best meets your operational and budget requirements and regain control of your destiny.

Get Seamless Interoperability

Establish cross-device and cross-agency P25 interoperability without compromising security and safety. Use P25 radios from different manufacturers on the same job site or connect with different agencies and out-of-state teams without problems with Skymira’s P25-IPR.

Stay Online During Outages and Disasters

Gain disaster resilience for your push-to-talk network to keep critical communications online. Through outages caused by natural disasters like hurricanes, infrastructure failures like power outages, and other causes, Skymira’s P25-IPR ensures everyone who needs real-time comms has them regardless of what’s going on.

How It Works

Skymira’s P25-IPR is a plug-and-play relay that transparently transmits P25 audio and data over IP networks. This cutting edge technology taps into the raw P25 stream keeping the P25-IPR vendor agnostic so that it works with all P25 radios. Audio, subscriber ID, GPS location, and emergency alert are then transmitted over an IP network such as satellite, LTE, FirstNet, fiber, or other private and public IP networks.

The P25-IPR portable GoKIT comes in a rugged Pelican case with Amphenol mil-spec connectors to survive demanding use. Everything fits inside the case including the Explorer 323 satellite antenna and/or an LTE modem and runs off a vehicle’s cigarette lighter plug or 110VAC bench power supply.

This advance brings reinvented radio over IP (RoIP) technology to P25 making complete coverage, affordable CJIS compliance, increased worker safety, and easy interoperability a reality for P25 users.
