Entel’s LTE 4G Wi-Fi PoC radio, together with their robust E-PoC service and software suite, offers the complete unified communications solution.
Posted on June 14, 2019
Breaking through traditional LMR coverage and connectivity boundaries, UK-headquartered Entel steps ahead of the field with its compact DN495 LTE Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) traditional two-way radio design, multi-network roaming SIM and suite of supporting E-PoC software.
Launching this month, the DN495 brings a competitive improvement to traditional LMR radios for those unwilling to compromise on performance. Packaged as a complete, ready to deploy solution without the need for additional infrastructure, monthly subscriptions or PMR radio license costs, these compact radios feature:
- 3-watts of low-latency, clearer, louder and natural sounding audio
- AES-256 encryption, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS as standard
- An ergonomically designed IP68 rugged and compact enclosure, designed to endure the most demanding of environments
- Communications without the network limitations of traditional two-way radios
- Customisable programming; from simple Push-to-Talk (PTT) to feature-rich sophisticated configurations
- Instant over-the-air (OTA) programming and updates; eliminating the need for costly site visits and radio downtime
With the commercial-grade construction and breadth of functionality able to serve the toughest of operational demands, it is unsurprising dealers are already expressing confidence in the DN495 – Stefan Henkel of R&S Communications (The Netherlands) was impressed by the handset and ease-of-use alike: "Entel's DN495 radio is superior and requires less configuration than other PoC radios on the market," whilst Olivier Lecocq (Promat Securité, France) noted the "audio is incredible! So natural and crystal clear, plus the volume’s cutting through all ambient noise.”
Entel’s E-PoC software suite brings a choice of PoC solutions
Bridging operations, the DN495 is supported by Entel’s PoC service – optimised in conjunction with TASSTA GmbH – including E-PoC Recorder, basic and advanced E-PoC Dispatchers (PC), E-PoC Smartphone App (iOS and Android) and E-PoC Gateway.
Purpose-designed, this suite of PoC software brings unified communications plus improved safety and efficiency to operations.
- Highly secure, fully redundant, locally hosted Tier III+ data centre servers
- A pre-installed, industrial grade, multi-network roaming SIM that overcomes the cost and limitations of standard subscription SIMs. Automatically connecting to the best quality signal and seamlessly switching between Cellular and Wi-Fi networks to cover the most demanding of environments.
- Entel’s servers and SIMs are fully managed in-house, providing advanced diagnostics and a rapid response to any issues.
The E-PoC Recorder is a powerful tool designed to enhance safety and efficiency, combining comprehensive secure recording of voice, data and GPS with rapid replay and comprehensive data analysis.
As the management and communication hub for your mobile workforce, the E-PoC PC Dispatcher is the complete command and control centre solution and offers a host of customisable features including:
- Mapping and GPS tracking with split-screen capability
- Powerful group and individual calling/messaging features
- Comprehensive zone (geofence) management and features
- Local call recording
- Emergency, Man-Down and Lone-Worker Protection
Entel’s E-PoC Smartphone App is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. Working in conjunction with the Dispatcher, it enables operators to communicate between all E-PoC devices, locate, manage and ensure the safety of their mobile workforce.
Completing Entel’s push-to-talk over cellular provision, and connecting E-PoC and PMR networks, is the E-PoC Gateway. Whether to or from digital, analogue or E-PoC, this intelligent gateway provides the interface and scope to extend any existing PMR system, cost-effectively. With its practically unlimited range and virtually unlimited number of simultaneous calls, this scalable E-PoC software offers cross-platform communications, DMR-equivalent call latency and optional emergency features – including Lone Worker and Man-Down – through its automatic transmission of precise user location.
This boundary-shifting, competitive combination of DN495 radio handset and suite of E-PoC software solutions are now available from Entel’s global dealer network.
