Turn Your Handheld Device Into a “Soft Radio” Our revolutionary iWalkieTM software turns your Internet-enabled handheld devices and industrial barcode terminals into software defined radios, or “soft radios”. Users of Internet enabled handheld devices often work with employees who communicate on dedicated two-way radio systems for mission or business critical tasks. These two types of devices could not historically talk to one another due to fractured and incompatible wireless architectures. With iWalkie, users are able to seamlessly communicate with all makes and models of two-way radios when operating together with SiteCAST and SafeyNET enabled systems. With iWalkie, worldwide PTT is both cross platform and network neutral. iWalkie operates on any cellular WWAN, WiFi, or wireless data network – public or private. Users can be on any combination of wireless data networks anywhere in the world, eliminating the need for inflexible and expensive carrier-centric based PTT. iWalkie uses the 2G/3G/4G data mode of your device rather than the cellular voice telephone mode. iWalkie users avoid costly minutebased airtime charges associated with cellular voice calling, and can communicate mobile-to-mobile with lighting speed in group or private talk formats. Our patent-pending iWalkie software also supports multi-tasking. iWalkie stays connected while performing other tasks including email, maps, tracking inventory, running a credit card, looking up criminal records, or submitting a work order, just to name a few. iWalkie loads easily onto devices via cradle sync, push download, or direct download. It imposes minimal use of network resources and storage footprint due to its thin-client architecture.

Virtual Base Station
Turn Any Computer Into a Two-Way Radio Virtual Base Station (VBS) software turns your desktop, laptop, UMPC computer into a two-way radio. With the VBS program running and an active Internet or WAN/LAN connection, the user presses down on the computer’s space bar to push-to-talk to other users, including two-way radios, computers, and PDA users on the system. Other users do the same – like a two-way radio system operating in a half-duplex mode. VBS offers managers and business owners an effective way of keeping in touch. VBS interoperates with SiteCAST or SafetyNET to instantly communicate with their two-way radio fleets. For example, when you travel out of range of your radio system, you can check in from your home computer or remote location. VBS is a great workforce monitoring tool. Like any Internet application, VBS can be launched on your computer and left running all day; thus, allowing you to monitor the two-way radio traffic of your workers anytime from anywhere, giving you a better handle on the operations of your business or agency. VBS provides virtual, on-screen talk groups. Like talk groups for two-way radios, VBS allows you to talk to and from one or more of your radio users. VBS users can establish one-to-one conversations or group conversations, depending upon the talk groups which have been pre-established. VBS also allows you to set up new talk groups on-the-go to add new users or change pre-established groups in an ad-hoc manner. VBS works on both Windows and Mac Operating Systems. VBS software communicates over any Internet or private WAN/LAN connection, including wireless air-cards, WiFi, T1s, cable modems, and even dial up connections.

SafetyNET Quad
SiteCAST
SafetyNET Quad offers both crossband repeater and Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) interoperability and linking to overcome the inherent limitations of legacy LMR and SMR radio systems. SafetyNET Quad is a four-system solution that can be used with any repeater, base station, mobile, or portable radio from the associated two-way radio systems. SafetyNET Quad can be cascaded to facilitate an unlimited number of local or radio systems.
SiteCAST is a lightweight, highly portable, single channel, RoIP control module. SiteCAST works with any internet connection, whether it’s satellite, DSL, cable modem, WAN/LAN, cellular WWAN, WiFi, or a dial up connection.
Four Systems of RoIP Connectivity
With SafetyNET Quad you can also extend the geographic range of normal two-way radio systems to anywhere there is a private or public IP connection, regardless of band or analog and digital modes. SafetyNET creates instant links anywhere on any frequency band such as UHF, VHF, HF, 700MHz, 800MHz, 900MHz, and Low Band VHF. SafetyNET is not only band agnostic but also mode neutral, creating a common peering structure for SSB, AM, FM, IMBE, P25 I&II, VSELP, DLMR, iDEN, TETRA, LTR, EDACS, SmartNET, OpenSky, NXDN, SmartZONE and other legacy wireless communication technologies.
Pocket-sized Linking / Worldwide Instant Interoperability
Simply plug in the SiteCAST unit into a laptop or desktop computer (PC or Mac) and into a radio. Voice traffic on the radio system is converted to IP data and sent over the Internet or a private WAN/LAN. Thus, agencies operating on different systems, such as the local police, fire, and EMS, can now seamlessly communicate with each other at the scene of an incident, regardless of location. SiteCAST is great for any emergency vehicle, and any other user that has a laptop in their vehicle connected to an air-card or a portable satellite connection. SiteCAST allows users to extend the limited coverage of their radio systems to the expanded coverage of the cellular data or satellite network. SiteCAST is also utilized to create in-building coverage quickly and affordably.
As with all products in the Critical RF platform, SafetyNET Quad is seamlessly compatible with SiteCAST, Virtual Base Station and iWalkie applications for seamless mobility in mixed communications environments. SafetyNET Quad features a 2U rack mounted, four system, encrypted, interoperability engine. Locking front cabinet adds an additional layer of physical security.
SiteCAST+
For Customers Who Prefer an All-in-One Unit SiteCAST+ includes a radio control module and an embedded processor housed in a slim, 1U chassis for ease of integration. Available in one or two port models. All other features remain the same as the stand-alone SiteCAST unit.
PackeTUBE
Reliable Site Linking at a Reduced Cost Critical RF’s PacketTUBE replaces a T1 circuit or a microwave link at a fraction of the cost of these current solutions. Instead of sending signals over a T1 or over the air, PacketTUBE sends the signals over the Packet Switched Network. Since the Internet is not priced according to distance covered, PackeTUBE’s IP solution saves users considerably compared to T1 connection costs.
PacketTUBE can be used to link sites in any type of cellular or radio system, including Harmony, iDEN, PassPort, SmartNet, SmartZone and other commercial and public safety wireless systems. PackeTUBE can also be utilized as a back-up. Redundancy often results in avoiding costly system downtime when the unexpected happens and you lose your primary T1 or microwave connection. Critical RF has deployed PackeTUBE in over 100 links nationwide, and dozens more overseas.
