The Motorola - AVTEC Scout meets the needs of a wide range of mission-critical and business-critical environments. It is a software-based Voice Over IP (VoIP) console system, using standard Ethernet to distribute all its components over a LAN/WAN infrastructure without a backroom TDM switch.  Leverage your existing infrastructure investment with multiple radio protocols, connection options, and reduced costs for life-cycle support by allowing operation on standard PCs.

Expand the choice of radio technologies via VPGate. The Scout's direct IP interface can connect with conventional (IP Site Connect), or multi-site trunked (Connect Plus and Linked Capacity Plus) MOTOTRBO systems.  Wire-line connections provide a direct IP interface between the console system and the radio infrastructure, offering connection redundancy and scalability to up to hundreds of talk groups, without system RF loading associated with wireless connections.  It can also support the P25 Console Sub-System Interface (CSSI) for direct IP connections from VP Gate to P25 trunked systems.

The Scout's interface supports both current and traditional radio technologies, with the introduction of new system drivers via available software upgrades, allowing for seamless migration to new radio systems.
