Public Safety and Commercial Applications
Enabling Interoperable Communications

Speed your time to deployment with a multi-mode radio that has been proven to support a number of public safety and military waveforms.

Spectrum's software defined radio (SDR) technology can bridge between the disparate public safety networks as well as cross over for use in commercial applications. Public safety system providers can use our solutions to maximize use the limited available frequency spectrum.

The Spectrum Advantage for Public Safety Applications

  • Spectrum on demand: Support for cognitive radio functionality allows the radio to sense its RF environment and location, and alter its power, frequency, modulation and other operating parameters to dynamically use the available radio spectrum.
  • Interoperable communications: One hardware configuration can support multiple waveforms applications across multiple first responder frequency bands
  • Operate in spectrally limited environments: Spectrum’s solution can support Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) technology for improved performance in urban environments.
  • Future-proof: The modular architecture eases technology refresh, allowing replacement of partial components or upgrades done via software versus a forklift upgrade to the entire system.
  • Security: Spectrum uses standard interfaces that can connect to security subsystems

Cross Band Communications for First Responder Services: Off-the-shelf "RF-to-Ethernet" Platform

Spectrum's Public Safety Cross Band Communications platform is an off-the shelf solution that is available today. The platform integrates a high performance IF and baseband processing subsystem with two independent RF subsystems operating at the following frequency bands:

  • Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band (between 350-800 MHz)
  • Public safety band (4.940 - 4.990 GHz)

For more information on the platform, visit our Products page, download the datasheet (pdf) or contact Sales@spectrumsignal.com.
