Facilitating communication with / via other systems is crucial. Gateways provide the key interface between Sepura base stations and other critical systems. Specifically;
• The SDS Gateway facilitates the use and sending of text messaging. It allows text messaging into / out of a dispatcher, which is particularly relevant in a control room environment. It allows storing and forwarding of SDS messages, for when a subscriber is not on the network, and also enables the network load to be reduced, as SDS messages received do not then need to be re-transmitted over the air.
• The PABX Gateway facilitates voice communications on the public telephone network, thus enabling users to make phone calls from their TETRA radio to office-based workers and to members of the public.
• The Packet Data Gateway facilitates the use of IP based data transmission between subscriber and network.
