Abstract: In one implementation, systems and processes are provide for local cross muting between two or more dispatch consoles in a dispatch center. Sound is received from a microphone of a first console. The first console generates an outgoing media signal from the received sound and a supplementary outgoing data. The supplementary outgoing data may be an identification number for the first console or a duplicate media signal from the first console. The first console sends the outgoing media signal to a forwarding device and sends the supplementary outgoing signal to a second console.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a method includes obtaining, at a client included in a push-to-talk (PTT) system, a plurality of talk bursts including at least a first talk burst and a second talk burst, the first talk burst being associated with a first source included in the PTT system, the second talk burst being associated with a second source included in the PTT system, wherein the plurality of talk bursts are obtained at approximately a first time. The method also includes identifying the first source as a source of interest and determining, after identifying the first source as the source of interest, an identity of the first source. Finally, the method includes processing the first talk burst as having a priority over the second talk burst.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining an indication that indicates that a donor radio is online with respect to an interoperability system, and determining if the indication is accurate. If the indication is not accurate, the method includes identifying a communication status for the donor radio within the interoperability system as a fail. Alternatively, if the indication is accurate, the communication status for the donor radio is identified within the interoperability system as being a success.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a dynamic group call, detecting a call alert, and identifying a user system responsible for the call alert. The dynamic group call includes at least one original participant, and is initiated such that an ability to automatically add at least one new participant to the dynamic group call is enabled. Identifying the user system includes obtaining an indicator from the call alert. The indicator is associated with the user system. Finally, the method includes automatically adding the user system to the dynamic group call.
