The RIOS radio interoperability allows for multiple computers to simultaneously access the shared RIOS GUI. This critical capability allows multiple computer workstations to monitor a situation and share the workload across various disciplines and responsibilities.
With RIOS Multi-User Login, authorized participants have the ability to:
-
Share Radio Resources
-
Communicate with PTT VoIP
-
Communicate with RIOS Chat
-
Internal File Exchange
-
Remote Login with RIOS VPN
The picture above illustrates a large-scale command vehicle with three RIOS Multi-User Logins. For this vehicle, the RIOS Workstations log in to the RIOS Gateway via the LAN connection while a laptop computer accesses the RIOS Gateway with a secure Wifi connection.
When an audio patch, dispatch group or other grouping element is created within RIOS, it is shared across all connected workstations. All participants can see the patch while authorized users can monitor, transmit, chat, recall, edit and control permissioned assets and created elements. Conversely, each workstation user has the ability to individually select which assets to monitor and where to place functional elements. The resulting arrangement creates a common operating picture ideal for incident management and multi-agency emergency response. Login rights and permissions are based on User ID and are configured by the RIOS System Administrator.
RIOS Multi-User Login requires available RIOS Computer Port Connections for log in access. In the graphic above, a RIOS GUI with six available computer connections is displayed. This particular RIOS Gateway allows for six concurrent computers running the RIOS Client Application to log in to the shared RIOS GUI.
RIOS Multi-User Access is priced based on the number of required seats. The number of seats is determined by the number of required simultaneous users logged into the RIOS GUI. SyTech can offer package licensing for systems requiring several RIOS Computer Connection Ports.
SyTech recommends LAN connections for critical communications; however, secure Wifi can be utilized. Multi-User Access can be accomplished with RIOS Client Workstations, Durabook Notebook Workstations or VPN RIOS Clients. All Client Workstations include the required RIOS Computer Connection Ports.
