When is a softswitch the right answer?
When the communication requirement has outgrown a single site and has to reach across networks and locations.
Once communication is no longer confined to one site and has to connect different locations, networks and devices, a softswitch is the better fit.
What the softswitch does
Unified communication across public networks, Wi-Fi, 4G and other IP networks.
Deployable on a local server or on the cloud platform.
Different cities and different campuses remain one communication system.
Third-party business systems can be connected.
Interconnects with DMR base stations, unifying private and public network calls.
How the system is put together
Connects over the mobile network, with no geographic limit on coverage.
Managers reach the field from whatever network they are on.
Direct private-network calling, push to talk on site.
The softswitch server is the communication core, bringing devices on different networks into one dispatch system.
What the system is built from
Cloud by default — usable from day one and manageable across projects. On-premise deployment is supported where data security requirements are strict, keeping voice and business data inside the site.
No local server required, fast to deploy, several projects managed under one account.
Connects quickly over the public network, keeping build cost down.
Public network, Wi-Fi and DMR at the same time.
Typical deployment patterns
Communication data never leaves the site — for projects with strict data-security or self-management requirements.
No equipment room or local server; usable as soon as it is provisioned, and suited to fast rollout across several projects.
Private and public networks in parallel, one dispatch system covering the site and everywhere beyond it.
Where it is used
How it relates to DMR
Either can stand alone — together they form one multi-channel communication system.
Tell us the network conditions, how your sites are distributed and what is already in place — one conversation is usually enough to settle the deployment and the growth path.
Softswitch core FAQ
The questions we hear most often on selection, certification and delivery.
Didn’t find your question? Ask an engineer →It interconnects DMR radio, PoC, telephone and broadcast systems over IP, enabling cross-network calls and centralized dispatch.
Yes. Dispatch consoles connect through the softswitch to call individual radios and talk groups.
Yes. Sites connected over IP can share talk groups and dispatch.
No. Single-site radio systems can run without it; it is added when interconnection or dispatch is needed.
