Emergency radio communications system incorporating integral public safety radio bridging capability
Patent number: 10716166Abstract: A communication system and method is provided for handling emergencies wherein public safety radios are used to directly communicate with normally incompatible radios used by organizations such as schools. The system includes a radio communication bridge that is selectively activated by emergency personnel to contact an organization undergoing an emergency. The bridge is activated via a TCP/IP command over an IP network or alternatively sent by a pre-programmed digital radio. Computer software or firmware at communication endpoints, emergency responder locations, and at an emergency call center facilitates functionality of the system to include emergency notifications, dissemination of information associated with a particular emergency, and the status of the system to include activation and deactivation of the radio bridge.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: SAFECOM 911, INC.Inventors: Patrick L. Hobby, David E. Petty -
