AKL Technology Inc Launches PoC to DMR/Analog Gateway

-May 02, 2023 – AKL Technology Inc, the market-leading supplier of innovative two-way radio communications solutions, is excited to announce the launch of AKL Bridge. This new system provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective Radio over IP (RoIP) gateway between AKL Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) radios and a variety of DMR and analog radio systems.

AKL Bridge is ideal for businesses that need to add nationwide PoC communications to existing Analog or DMR standard compliant two-way radio systems. With the ability to connect AKLPoC radios with analog radios, Tier II DMR radio systems, DMR Tier III trunked systems, or AKL XPT systems for group radio calls, HALO Bridge enables the expansion of a hybrid communication system while protecting previous radio system investments.

AKL Bridge is a compact hardware configuration that can be installed in a data closet or radio equipment rack with a minimal footprint. It comes equipped with a PoC and DMR mobile radio, as well as a chassis, power supply, and cable. The device uses this unique hardware kit to connect and transmit communication between the MNC360 PoC mobile radio and the HM782 DMR mobile radio through a special bridge cable and radio firmware.

The MNC360 provides connectivity to Hytera PoC radios via LTE cellular or Wi-Fi internet access, and the HM782 provides connectivity to Hytera DMR Radios and repeaters via narrowband UHF and VHF frequencies.

AKL Bridge provides a single-channel interconnect at a much lower price than other systems that require additional hardware or servers. Multiple AKL Bridge systems can be deployed for additional channels.

AKL Bridge enables a variety of flexible system interconnect configurations. It can connect narrowband systems to broadband systems as described or it can also provide connectivity between two remote DMR radio systems over a PoC Broadband connection.

“AKIL ’s new AKL Bridge adds tremendous flexibility to our Push-to-Talk over Cellular and DMR product lines,” said Ally Xu, VP Sales of AKL Technology China.

“With an MSRP of $2,499.00, the AKL Bridge delivers great value by facilitating the expansion of a hybrid communication system and also protecting previous investment.”
