P25 Dispatch

InterTalk is your advanced P25 dispatch radio console solution.

Project 25 (P25) is the standard for digital wireless communications products. Governed by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), and developed with input from public safety officials at the local, state, and federal levels, P25 is administered by the TIA’s Mobile and Personal Private Radio Standards Committee, known as TR-8. P25 technology has many benefits to its end users, including interoperability, integrated voice and data, easy migration, competitive procurement opportunities, and spectral efficiency.

The benefit to you? InterTalk is a key supporter of open-standards for public safety radio networks within North America. InterTalk was the first console system manufacturer to support the Console Sub-System Interface (CSSI) for P25, allowing our console systems and products to work with any compliant P25 radio network system. The CSSI is built upon the Inter Sub-System Interface (ISSI), which means that InterTalk’s console system can support simultaneous multiply-connected P25 systems. InterTalk consoles have successfully integrated with various third party P25 infrastructure providers, including Harris, Cassidian, Motorola, and Tait. Whatever your system, InterTalk can and will support it.

InterTalk is a proud member of both the Project 25 Technology Interest Group and the Telecommunications Industry Association.
