RADIO OVER INTERNETPROTOKOLENHEDER OG FREMGANGSMÅDER TIL INTEROPERABILITET MED LANDMOBILRADIOENHEDER

Devices and methods are provided that permit interoperability between Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) devices and land mobile radio (LMR) devices. In one device according to the invention, a networked radio includes a wireless network transceiver, an LMR signal connector, and an analog-to-digital converter/digital-to-analog converter (ADC/DAC). A computer processor that inputs data from or outputs data to the ADC/DAC includes a sound architecture and a server. The server includes a digital audio buffer, a voice-activity detector, and a daemon. The daemon is configured to (1) collect data on one or more variables affecting a best-choice determination for transmitting a communications signal intended for retransmission to one or more LMR devices, and (2) make the best-choice determination based on the data collected.
