Solutions · Critical Communications

Stay connected when the environment works against you.

Critical teams must communicate across distance, noise, difficult terrain, moving vehicles, hazardous sites and rapidly changing situations. ACTERA designs resilient communications environments that combine the appropriate radio, broadband, tactical networking, dispatch and worker-safety technologies for each operation.

One Operation. Multiple Networks.

Unify the workflow without forcing every user onto the same technology.

TETRA, DMR, broadband push-to-talk, cellular networks, Wi-Fi, tactical MANET and conventional IP systems solve different operational problems.

ACTERA designs the architecture that allows these technologies to support one operating model - connecting field personnel, vehicles, remote sites, dispatchers and command teams through the appropriate interfaces and applications.

Interoperability is engineered at the system level. It requires careful treatment of identities, numbering, talk groups, priorities, emergency behavior, recording, location, security boundaries and operational procedures.

Installing a gateway is not the same as creating a unified communications environment.

What We Deliver

TETRA Systems

System architecture, coverage planning, infrastructure, subscriber equipment, dispatch, applications, recording, integration and lifecycle services for mission-critical radio networks.

Professional DMR Systems

Single-site and multisite professional radio environments for industrial, commercial, utility and public-sector operations, including infrastructure, dispatch, applications and system integration.

Broadband Push-to-Talk

Group and individual communications over LTE, 5G and Wi-Fi, with dispatch, location, emergency alerts, operational messaging and private on-premises deployment options where required.

Multi-Network Interoperability

Interfaces and operational workflows connecting radio, broadband, telephony, dispatch and command-center environments where users must communicate across technology boundaries.

Tactical MANET

Self-forming and adaptive mobile networks for high-capacity voice, video and IP data exchange between moving or temporarily deployed nodes without dependence on fixed communications infrastructure.

Command-Center Integration

Unified operator access to communications, location, video, alarms and incident information, supporting faster understanding and more coordinated response.

High-Noise Communications

Communication and hearing-protection solutions for mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, construction, defense and other environments where conventional audio equipment is insufficient.

Worker Safety

Emergency calling, location, Man Down, lone-worker functionality, status messaging and other capabilities selected around the risk profile of the operation.

Engineering Considerations

Coverage is only the beginning.

A critical communications system must also manage:

Capacity under peak conditions
Group and fleet structure
Call priority and pre-emption
Emergency workflows
Redundancy and recovery
Recording and audit requirements
Location and worker-safety functions
Encryption and access control
Command-center integration
Maintenance and lifecycle planning

Different networks should not prevent people from operating as one team.

Tell us what must remain connected, visible or under control. We will help define the architecture and the practical path to implementation.
