P25Connect

P25Connect: A necessity for volunteer fire departments using 800 MHz Radios

•	Connecting digital P25 with analog/conventional paging
•	No need to provide all volunteers with a DTR radio; use existing VHF pagers to hear all 800 MHz voice
•	Reduces the need to contact Dispatch to page out for meetings and other events
•	Flexible activation: locally, by DTMF radio, or by Dispatch

The challenge of DTR for smaller agencies
While larger agencies—police, fire, county, state, etc.—can fund equipping all field personnel with digital P25 radios, small volunteer agencies may lack the financial resources. They need to rely upon their VHF-based pagers. But this requires a bridge, a way that important digital messages, particularly in a mutual aid scenario, an easily reach these analog devices.

Introducing P25Connect
A necessity for any volunteer fire department running on a digital P25 trunking format, P25Connect is a controlled one-way or two-way link connecting the statewide digital P25 trunked radio network to a local VHF channel, and thereby to the analog pagers carried by volunteers. The P25Connect converts the digital format of the dispatch into a conventional analog signal.
