Abstract: Techniques for communication based on sharing talker ID across communications networks are disclosed. Push-to-talk (PTT) over broadband services are provided over a first communications system. The first communications system includes a plurality of user devices. A Talker ID is associated with a first user device from the plurality of user devices on the first communications system. The Talker ID uniquely identifies the first user device. A communication is sent from the first user device to a second user device on a second communications system. An information message is provided, from the first user device to the second user device, wherein the information message includes the Talker ID of the first user device. The communication and the information message are received on the second user device. The communication and the information message are displayed on the second user device.

Abstract: A system for managing communications is described, where embodiments comprise a mobile radio control station component capable of supporting multiple frequency bands and a computing device. The computing device comprises a processor, a computer-readable memory, and a set of computer-executable instructions. The set of computer-executable instructions are configured to provide a vehicular repeater, a local repeater, an Interoperability Gateway, a call recorder, and a graphical user interface. The computing device is in operable communication with the mobile radio control station component. A method of establishing an advanced audio patch between multiple radios is also described.
