Complete solution

From core and site equipment, to dispatch and software, to radios and accessories, we can build your entire system.

ASTRO EQUIPMENT

Tailored to meet your needs for coverage and capacity, the ASTRO radio system consists of RF site equipment, transport, centralized call control and system management. From a single site to statewide network, conventional to trunking, ASTRO gives you flexibility and scalability to expand as your needs change.

ASTRO CORE

The primary function of the ASTRO core is to enable wide area communication across multiple sites. The core provides distributed call control and routing of voice and data between multiple radio sites.

Software Defined Platform

The ASTRO Core is designed to adapt to the changing needs of small, single-site systems all the way up to the largest regional or national radio systems with hundreds of radio and console sites. Easy to deploy entitlement licenses and software enables simple capacity expansions, deployment of new features and capabilities, and adoption of new products and services.

Reliable

With no single point of failure and multiple levels of redundancy, the ASTRO Core is built for mission-critical service. ASTRO cores are built with components tested for the durability of continuous operations. Redundant hardware, software and network transport systems are ready to take over if needed. And to protect against a catastrophic loss of the core site, geo-redundant and cloud-core configurations are available.

System Management

To achieve peak system operating performance you need complete visibility and control of your system components and the devices that run on them. ASTRO’s comprehensive set of on-premise management apps includes Fault, Configuration, Accounting, and Performance functions. CirrusCentral Management, a cloud-based management application, enables anywhere, any device access to advanced tools analytics from an intuitive user interface.

EXTENDING P25 SERVICE AREA

Incidents don’t always occur where you have strong radio coverage. Buildings, tunnels and rural areas can put your teams at risk of losing their radio signal. This is where our portfolio of coverage enhancement products can deliver the communication needed to keep your people safe, and operations successful.

Dvr-lx P25 Digital Repeater

Extend the range of P25 digital or FM analog operation with the power of a 10 watt repeater. Install the repeater in a vehicle and take it with you to incidents in remote areas or permanently fix mount the repeater in a tunnel or underground parking garage.

Pdr 8000 Portable Digital Repeater

Set up the PDR 8000 suitcase at a special event or incident to quickly provide local P25 conventional or analog FM portable radio coverage. Connect to your Motorola Solutions dispatch console wherever it may be via a V.24 telephone connection.

Vrx 1000 Vehicle Radio Extender

With up to 3 watts of power, the budget friendly VRX 1000 provides portable radio communication in a mobile-only coverage area.

Smart Connect

Stay connected to P25 even when outside P25 coverage. SmartConnect can keep you connected by rerouting P25 voice and data packets available broadband networks such as LTE, Wi-Fi and satellite. This effectively extends the service area of equipped APX P25 radios to nationwide. The switch is fast and automatic with no user intervention.
