i2way Systems may be equipped with custom-designed dispatch consoles. i2way consoles are built upon PC desktop computer technology, so they are relatively low cost, easy to maintain, and most importantly, completely digital.

By linking a PC-based dispatch console directly to the i2way Network, the dispatcher has immediate access to any group or individual unit, plus a host of extra features such as text messaging, GPS automatic vehicle location, cross band links, and so forth. The PC-based dispatch console is linked to the Internet or intranet connection Ethernet.

An i2way console can be assigned one or more group and unit identities on the i2way network. It can monitor the power on status of a field of mobiles and portables. One or more DC-200 Desktop Dispatch consoles provide audio decoding and encoding right on the desktop so that no back room equipment is necessary, even for multiple dispatch positions. And since encryption is performed at the DC-200, the cables and wiring connecting the radio system to the dispatch location are immune from intentional interception.

The DC-200 console may be connected directly to the host PC via an RS-232 serial port (which carries audio and control data) or in stand-alone mode by Ethernet directly to the Internet.
