Can I configure a remote Gateway with ICU through RadioPro Link?

RadioPro Link

Yes. The RadioPro Link announcement includes ICU among the applications that can access a provisioned Gateway through its assigned endpoint. Use a compatible ICU version and the connection…

Can I dispatch or access my radio system from home or another location?

RadioPro, RadioPro Solo, RadioPro Link

Yes. RadioPro can provide radio access from a remote office, a home workstation, or a mobile device when a suitable network connection to the RadioPro IP Gateway is available.

Can I move a RadioPro Link Gateway to another internet connection without changing the client address?

RadioPro Link

Yes. RadioPro Link is designed to retain the provisioned endpoint when the Gateway moves to another usable internet connection. Remote clients continue using that endpoint rather than the new…

Can RadioPro work over Starlink, cellular internet, or a connection behind CGNAT?

RadioPro, RadioPro Link

Yes, a supported RadioPro installation can use Starlink or cellular internet. RadioPro Link provides a connection option for Gateways behind carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT).

Does RadioPro Link require a static public IP address or port forwarding?

RadioPro Link

A provisioned RadioPro Link connection normally does not require a static public IP address or an inbound port-forwarding rule at the Gateway site. Clients use CTI's assigned endpoint rather than…

Does RadioPro require an internet connection, or can it operate on a local network?

RadioPro, RadioPro Link

Basic RadioPro client-to-Gateway communication can operate on a local IP network without public internet access. The client must be able to reach the Gateway, and the Gateway's control station…

How much network bandwidth does a RadioPro system need?

RadioPro IP Gateway, RadioPro Solo, RadioPro Link

Bandwidth depends on audio mode, the number of active voice streams, connected clients and the network path. CTI's published planning figures are approximately 2.2 kBytes/s per compressed audio…

Is communication between RadioPro applications and the IP Gateway encrypted?

RadioPro, RadioPro Solo, RadioPro Link

Encrypted network connections are available with supported RadioPro versions and the appropriate connection configuration. Encryption should be verified for your installation rather than assumed…

What did CTI observe when testing RadioPro Link over Starlink Mini?

RadioPro Link

CTI tested RadioPro Link using Starlink Mini on the Roam plan in September 2026, both stationary and in motion. The announcement reports the following client-to-Gateway timing results through…

What happens to RadioPro Link when the internet connection drops?

RadioPro Link

A Link-routed client loses its path to the Gateway while the required internet connection is unavailable. RadioPro Link is designed to recover its connection after the network returns, including…

What is needed to set up radio dispatch at a temporary construction site?

RadioPro, RadioPro Link

A temporary construction site needs a compatible control station radio, a RadioPro IP Gateway, the correct interface cable, suitable antenna and power arrangements, and a network path to the…

What is RadioPro Link, and when would I use it?

RadioPro Link

RadioPro Link is CTI's remote-connectivity service for a provisioned RadioPro IP Gateway. It provides a stable endpoint name that compatible clients use instead of tracking the site's changing…

Which firewall ports does RadioPro require?

RadioPro IP Gateway, RadioPro Link

The default RadioPro client connection port is TCP 48222. The complete firewall requirements depend on your Gateway settings, configuration tools, optional features, and connection method.

Which RadioPro applications can connect through RadioPro Link?

RadioPro Link

The RadioPro Link announcement identifies Dispatch, Solo, the Talk mobile app and ICU as applications that can connect using a provisioned Link endpoint. CTI must confirm the installed versions…

Which RadioPro client, ICU, and Gateway versions are compatible?

RadioPro IP Gateway, RadioPro Solo, RadioPro Link

Match RadioPro software to the Gateway family and check the release requirements before updating. Patch revisions do not always need to be identical, but an arbitrary mix of versions is not supported.

Why doesn't ICU Auto Find discover my RadioPro IP Gateway?

RadioPro IP Gateway, RadioPro Link

ICU Auto Find uses local network broadcasts, so it normally discovers Gateways on the same local broadcast network. It does not automatically discover a Gateway across a router, separate VLAN, or…

Why is radio audio delayed even when my internet speed test is fast?

RadioPro, RadioPro Link

A speed test mainly measures throughput; it does not establish end-to-end radio audio delay. A connection can transfer many megabits per second while intermittent latency, jitter, loss or…
