The RIOS Wide-Area Network allows multiple RIOS servers to connect across an IP network. With this arrangement, RIOS servers interface to their corresponding local communication assets (radios, phones, cameras) and connect across any type of IP network via RIOS MultiSite Software module and configuration.
With the RIOS Wide-Area Network, permissioned administrators have the ability to access, interconnect and control (if permissioned) resources across the network. The beauty of this arrangement is that the authorized users from a permissioned location can operate remote RIOS systems just the same as the local RIOS system.

The graphic below illustrates the RIOS GUI within a multi-site RIOS System. In this depiction, six RIOS Servers are interconnected across an IP network. A Wide-Area Cluster Group (center cluster) is created with a local radio assets (green band around the asset) and remote XTL5000 mobile radio (light blue band around the asset). As a result, the two radio networks operate as single connected group regardless of their physical location.
The graphic below illustrates a simplified, yet comprehensive RIOS Wide-Area Network. For this example the functional areas of (1) Fixed Site Systems, (2) Mobile Radio Footprints, and (3) Remote Accessibility with RIOS Clients VPNs and RIOS Lite Smartphones are subdivided for clarification. Each functional area is indicated with the blue numeric bubble.
1: Fixed Site Systems: In this example, three fixed-site radio systems (VHF, UHF and 800 MHz trunking) are interfaced at their respective dispatch centers. By interfacing each radio system with a RIOS SR-3000 Series Server Package and connecting the servers via an IP network, authorized users are able to create a wide-area “system of systems” by implementing a RIOS Wide-Area Cluster Group. The encompassing system results in a unified radio network whereby radio-system users are able to talk across and within overlapping radio footprints.
2. Mobile Radio Footprints: RIOS Tactical and RIOS Mobile Command Systems allow agencies to augment their radio network by “moving the footprint” of interoperated command and control. With Mobile Radio Footprints, systems owners are able to deploy to an area outside of their radio footprint, provide multi-agency communications, and reachback to their native network, if required. Used in conjunction with the system-of-system approach, Mobile Radio Footprints provide real-world command and control with or without an available trunking/repeater network.
3. Remote Accessibility: Remote Accessibility includes all methods that allow for distant users to access the RIOS Wide-Area Network. This includes RIOS Workstations on the RIOS Wide-Area Network, smartphone users running the RIOS Lite Smartphone Application, and authorized users outside the Network running RIOS VPN Client. Where permissioned, remote RIOS users are able to receive, transmit and control the system from any authorized extension with an IP connection.
For more information on the RIOS Wide-Area Network see the RIOS Multi-Site Software Module section.
Again, the RIOS Wide-Area Network refers to multiple RIOS Servers interconnected across any type of IP network. Each RIOS Server interfaces locally to the facility’s communication resources; resources can include anything from a statewide trunking system, tone-controlled radios and/or IP video streams. Once connected to the RIOS ICS (as discussed in Fixed Site Systems), the RIOS Server accepts the voice, video or data at the local site. Next, the RIOS Multi-Site Software Module provides the functional capability to packetize voice, video and data for use across various types of IP networks. Where permissioned, users from remote locations have the ability to create patches, monitor, playback, page and alert remote resources from across the network.

1: Fixed Site Systems: In this example, three fixed-site radio systems (VHF, UHF and 800 MHz trunking) are interfaced at their respective dispatch centers. By interfacing each radio system with a RIOS Ai-16 Series Server Package and connecting the servers via an IP network, authorized users are able to create a wide-area “system of systems” by implementing a RIOS Wide-Area Cluster Group. The encompassing system results in a unified radio network whereby radio-system users are able to talk across and within overlapping radio footprints.
