SmartBridge Mobile

SmartBridge Mobile Overview

SmartBridge Mobile is the smartest, most fully featured radio head in the market. The radio is now an app; installed and updated automatically from the Google Playstore. The radio body goes under the seat and SmartBridge Mobile delivers a user friendly, operations focussed, fully integrated front end radio experience like no other. With your choice of tablet, a 7-10" touch screen interface, integration with voice, messaging, contacts, AVL/GPS, operations, and health and safety features. Separating the user interface and functionality from the RF body results in a huge simplification of installation, upgrades (software and hardware), configuration, and applying new features and enhancements. Visits to the vehicle for firmware updates are a thing of the past. Whether you have 10 or 1,000 radios in the field, the simplicity of management, training, user satisfaction and cost reductions will be profound.

Think of the possibilities....

  • IT friendly and easy to integrate Contacts from exchange, or just from a Google account, MDM, and other productivity tools. No re-programming the radio.
  • Migrating from MPT to DMR?, UHF to VHF? Mixed fleet?: No problem! Update the RF body, not the user interface.
  • User and business focussed functionality all easily updated: GPS based network selection, AVL store/forward, DND, call forwarding, group calls, volume control, status messaging, change the functionality on screen, all without reprogramming the radio. 

Synchronised Contact Integration

Full and automatic contact synchronisation and integration means your team have names, not numbers.

  • Scroll up and down and search Contacts just like you would on your phone.
  • See missed calls, messages, and status, all by name.
  • change contact lists centrally (eg Exchange or Outlook), and synch to every vehicle instantly. No radio programming required.
