About

Formerly Pantel International, InterTalk is a critical communications specialist firm established in 1997.

InterTalk company timeline from 1997 to 2023, highlighting key milestones in product development, partnerships, and rebranding over 25 years. Notable events include the development of the Powerspeak console system in 1998, major client deployments like the RCMP in 2003, and the launch of the Sentinel dispatch console in 2021. The image features a red timeline with circular callouts for key milestones and a 'Celebrating 25 Years' emblem.

From the beginning, InterTalk’s design capabilities have been at the forefront of dispatch console solutions. With a team of professional engineers working alongside their production department, they started as a systems integrator for radio communications systems, designing specialized interfaces and equipment needed to meet the many new emerging trends in land mobile radio.

Shortly after incorporation, InterTalk designed and produced PowerSpeak, an IP-based console system suited for dispatch operations that covered large geographic regions.

In 2003, we became the sole source provider for InterTalk™ (now known as the InterTalk Dispatch Console System), a dispatch console product first brought to market in 1980. Used primarily by public safety agencies, the InterTalk system gave its users unparalleled control and information availability that remains second to none in the industry. Known for its reliability, scalability, and integrated radiotelephony functions, InterTalk was the ideal complement to our company’s design philosophy of “exact-fit” solutions.

Since that time, InterTalk has added to the impressive set of capabilities available in the InterTalk Dispatch Console System (DCS). The InterTalk DCS now boasts features like IP-connectivity, P25 (ISSI/CSSI) communications, a truly integrated archival logging recorder and voter system, and a completely customizable user experience (UX). InterTalk not only maintains the functionality used in older systems but now adds the technology needed by today’s dispatch centers.

InterTalk has also been at the forefront of engineering “Cloud Ready” dispatch consoles with the release of Enlite™ Dispatch. This public safety grade console system can be entirely hosted in the cloud, air-gapped on-premises, or a hybrid of both. This provides agencies with the flexibility to deploy their system in a way that makes the most impact for their operations.

Today, InterTalk continues to support all existing InterTalk System installations deployed around the world and maintains its goal of providing highly configurable emergency information systems for any communications infrastructure.
