The main cost drivers are simultaneous radio paths, control station equipment, Gateways, operator positions, licensed connections, optional features, accessories, and installation. Your authorized dealer can price the configuration that matches your requirements.
- Concurrent channels: independent simultaneous voice paths generally require separate control station radios and Gateways.
- Operator positions: each concurrent Dispatch PC needs its own appropriate software license and enough licensed Gateway connections.
- Solo/Talk users: size the Gateway's connection pool for peak concurrent users, not merely the number of usernames created.
- Options: include required GPS, external recorder, MultiSpeak, telemetry, or remote-connectivity features and any supporting hardware/services.
- Deployment: account for microphones/headsets, antennas, power/backup, networking, programming, commissioning, and training.
Example: two independent voice channels and two concurrent Dispatch positions normally call for two control station radios, two Gateways, and two Dispatch licenses with the appropriate connection counts. Five simultaneous Solo/Talk users on a particular Gateway require an adequate five-connection pool on that Gateway; those seats are not automatically shared with another Gateway.
Prepare a list of current radio models, system type, required simultaneous channels, operator counts, remote users, and features before requesting a quote. The planner below illustrates equipment quantities and does not provide prices or replace a system design.
