Interoperability Systems

The G-408 Intercommunication System is a modern communication platform. Using a variety of plug-in modules, it connects different types of communication mediums such as radios (VHF/UHF/HF/P25/etc.), wireless carriers, and local headsets. Using a standard Ethernet LAN, microwave data link, wireless hotspot, or the internet, it will work in parallel with all G-Series products to create large distributed wide area systems. The G-408 is designed to be used tactically in a mobile environment or as part of your communication infrastructure.

This unit is of special interest to Public Safety Professionals such as police and fire departments and for any application where the combination of dissimilar communications media is needed to bring together task groups (rescue activities, forest fires, natural disasters).

Key Overall Features:

• Slots for up to 8 plug-in modules (purchased separately)
• Up to 8 virtual network streaming modules (included; no hardware modules required)
• Intuitive multilingual web-based interface (no software to install to operate or use; works on smartphones)
• Hardware "Automatic Gain Control" for improved audio quality and easy setup
• Works in parallel with other G-Series products for large systems
• Single IP address for everything - greatly simplifies your network setup
• Simultaneous multi-user configuration and control
• Can work with a G-SMU wide area system or as part of an expanded system

Notable Software Features:

• Multilingual and web-based - no software to install and works on smartphones. All you need is a web browser.
• Very intuitive user interface. Minimal training required - operators can learn to use the system in under 10 minutes.
• Connections can be made with drag-and-drop or point-and-click - works equally well with a mouse or a touchscreen.
• Make phone calls, monitor activity, configure settings, link to other systems, view serial numbers, and much more.
• Connections can be restored at startup or automatically reset.
• Simple software updates allow you to add new features as they are made available.
• Simultaneous password-protected logins with configurable permissions.
• Built-in help documentation. Everything is explained - you will never need to dig out a manual.

Physical Characteristics:

• 8 module slots
• Front panel display with control knob and helpful RX/TX/Signal configuration lights
• Convenient front panel handset jack (enabled when using a handset module in first slot)
• 1 RJ-45 "standard Ethernet" jack
• 1 "Smart" power switch
• Rack-mount (wings) or desktop (rubber feet)
• Compact size (17-1/4"W x 11"D x 1-3/4"H) - 1 RU with no additional cooling space required
• Sturdy aluminum case with a black powder coat finish
• Low power consumption with an included 30W "computer type" power supply
• USB port for accessories and future features

The G-404 is a smaller version of the G-408 system. Supporting 4 hardware modules and 4 virtual network streaming modules, the G-404 is perfect for solutions that need the flexibility of our plug-in modules, but have fewer connectivity needs. The smaller size also makes it ideal for desktop use.

Through the use of a variety of plug-in modules, the G-404 connects together different types of communication mediums such as radios (VHF/UHF/HF/P25/etc.), wireless carriers, and local headsets. Using a standard Ethernet LAN, microwave data link, wireless hotspot, or the internet, it will work in parallel with all G-Series products to create large distributed wide area systems. The G-404 is designed to be used tactically in a mobile environment or as part of your communication infrastructure.

Although highly valuable to public safety, all G-Series devices have multiple applications. Wondering if the G-404 is right for you? Check out some of our suggested use cases to find out how the G-404 can solve your communication problems. Also check out some of our user interface features in more detail.
