Publication number: 20200127874Abstract: Integration of a land mobile radio (LMR) communications system and other wireless IP based systems such as LTE by way of a virtual router and virtual base stations. The LMR system may be either trunked or conventional. The virtual router maintains LMR IDs and also IP addresses for both physical and virtual base stations, multi bearer terminals and other components of the integrated system. Physical LMR base stations form a physical network. Virtual LMR base stations form a virtual network. These physical and virtual LMR networks communicate using ISSI, AIS or DFSI for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Niall McAndrew, Nick Clark, Clive Douglas Horn, Steve Penny
