In mission-critical environments like drone operations, offshore vessels, airports, and defence facilities, real-time communication is non-negotiable. But what if the operator is hundreds of kilometres away from the actual radio equipment? How do you ensure they retain full control and situational awareness?
Radio over IP (RoIP) bridges that gap, enabling remote operation and monitoring of radios, as if the operator were right beside them.
The Challenge
Traditionally, radios are confined to physical locations, and remote users are limited by hardware constraints or unreliable workarounds. This creates bottlenecks, delays, and increased operational risk, especially in sectors like aviation, maritime, and emergency services where decisions must be made instantly and collaboratively.
The Solution: Full Remote Control
Our RoIP solution Mimer Softradio offers full remote control of radios, including:
- Access to the radio’s control head, mirrored on-screen for visual feedback
- Remote channel selection, volume control, and emergency signalling
- Two-way PTT communication via purpose-built microphones, our soft client or directly in your UI via our API
Whether the radio is mounted in a drone, a fire truck, or a remote communications shelter, the operator interacts with it as if sitting in the vehicle.
Real-World Examples
- Drones entering controlled airspace can relay with air traffic control via onboard radios, remotely operated from ground stations.
- Critical infrastructure monitoring: Remote sites can remain secure and connected without full-time staff on-site.
- Search and rescue operations: Teams in the field use mobile radios that are remotely supported from HQ.
Advantages
- Efficiency: One operator can manage multiple radios across locations.
- Safety: Reduce the need for personnel in high-risk zones.
- Scalability: Expand your communications architecture without physical infrastructure.
- Interoperability: Works across over 60 radio types and integrates PA, phone, and dispatch systems.
With installations in over 70 countries and proven deployments in the most demanding environments, Mimer Softradio empowers teams to operate smarter, safer, and faster, no matter where they are.
