i2way Radio Systems may be equipped with both desktop and large format custom-designed dispatch consoles. i2way consoles are IP-based and are relatively low in cost, easy to maintain, and most importantly, completely digital.

With an i2way Console, the dispatcher has immediate access to any group or individual unit, plus a host of additional features such as text messaging, GPS automatic vehicle location, cross band links, and more.

An i2way console may be assigned one or more group and unit identities in the i2way network. It can monitor the power-on status of a field of mobiles and portables. One or more DC-200 consoles provide audio decoding and encoding right on the desktop so that no backroom equipment is necessary, even for multiple dispatch positions.

Shown above is the DC-200 Desktop Dispatch Console. It connects directly to the Internet (or an intranet) by way of 100 BaseT Ethernet connection using TCP/IP for completely "stand-alone" operation. The DC-200 includes an internal eight watt "Class D" audio amplifier, high quality loudspeakers and compressed and limited microphone inputs. The unit requires external 12-16 VDC. The console allows a dispatcher to select talkgroups, make private calls to individual DV/IP radios, and many other i2way system features.
