  • Patent number: 10812642
    Abstract: An auxiliary radio communications system includes a dispatch radio console (DRC), a plurality of antennas, and a radio amplification unit (RAU). The RAU includes first and second repeaters that are in communication with an RAU interconnect board. The first and second RF repeaters receive first and second communication signals from the RAU interconnect board, respectively, and retransmit them to the antennas and to the DRC. The antennas rebroadcast the first and second communication signals over first and second communication channels, respectively. The DRC can include first and second dispatch control modules (DCMs) that receive the first and second communication signals, respectively. The first and second communication signals can originate from the first and second DCMs, respectively, from a first handheld radio tuned to the first communication channel, and/or from a second handheld radio tuned to the second communication channel.

  • Patent number: 10757237
    Abstract: A configurable apparatus includes a housing, a cradle, and a handset. In a first configuration, a first bracket is releasably attached to the cradle and to the housing such that the cradle is disposed next to a first side of the housing. In a second configuration, a second bracket is releasably attached to the cradle and to the housing such that the cradle is disposed next to a second side of the housing. The first and second brackets can include L-shaped brackets, which can be mirror images of each other. The communication system may be used in multi-story buildings or similar structures to facilitate communications among multiple stations (e.g., emergency response stations) within the structures.
