The equipment as a mobile radio center or the basic integration of radio systems is an elementary component of many special vehicles. Special vehicles used by the police, fire department and military depend on a reliably functioning communication structure. Radio is particularly essential for the coordination of operations and the transmission of emergency calls and other operational data. Accordingly, it is important for the technical implementation that these communication channels can be used at any time and function independently of external influences, i.e. autonomously.
In the case of non-public radio networks, such as those used by public authorities and organizations with security tasks, i.e. the police or fire department, a distinction is made between digital and analogue technologies. The analog variants include, for example, the radio message system (FMS), which is used to transmit automated routine messages and uses a fixed coding for this purpose. Digital radio in the non-public sector is divided into TETRA-BOS and Digital Mobile Radio (DMR), among others. Digital Private Mobile Radio (DPMR) is also used in some cases, but this is one of the open standards.
System integration involves equipping special vehicles for the military, police or fire department with ideally coordinated components for radio communication. Depending on the specifications and requirements, different implementation options are available: different numbers of voice circuits, compact installation variants, for example for command vehicles, or more complex designs for larger command vehicles and the workstations for radio operators contained therein.
