Interoperability Now
The example system has eight different voice communications channels: Five are different radio
bands/frequencies, another is a SIP Phone, and the remaining two consist of a pair of JPS VIA
PTT over Cellular Talkgroups. These channels are all interfaced to the system via four RSP-Z2
units using Bridge channels and one NXU-2B that uses JPS RoIP. Note that each of the JPS VIA
Talk Groups requires a dedicated RSP-Z2 channel, which is interfaced to the JPS VIA server and
adapts the JPS VIA channel into a format recognizable to the Z2C.
Each of the channels is configured on the Z2C, which can accept connections on up to 80 virtual
streaming channels, using JPS Bridge or JPS RoIP data stream protocols. By setting up channels
on the Z2C to accept these connections, users can manage streaming audio to and from connected
remote resources. (E.g. Putting channels in nets, dispatching to/from channels).
•
JPS Bridge channels are available on newer JPS products, such as this unit as well as
other Z-series products, and on some third-party devices, such as the MCC Desktop
Console, that have implemented the JPS Bridge Channel Protocol.
•
JPS RoIP (Radio over IP) is a JPS proprietary protocol that sends voice plus radio control
signals over an IP network. With only a few exceptions, JPS RoIP channels are available
on most JPS radio interoperability gateway products.
•
While JPS’ newer products have both JPS Bridge and JPS RoIP streaming channels, it is
best to use Bridge channels as they carry additional helpful data such as Audio Priority.
Furthermore, JPS Bridge channels support streamlined integration with other JPS systems
and with select third-party products.
