Emergency command vehicles are critical emergency equipment for on-site emergency response scenarios. To address communication and command challenges across diverse emergency situations, these vehicles are equipped with a wide range of communication devices supporting broadband, narrowband, voice, and video applications. The core challenges for emergency command vehicles lie in integrating these disparate communication devices and coordinating audio and video services under emergency conditions.
Becke Telcom has developed a tailored Converged Communication Solution for emergency command vehicles, which is composed of four core components: a converged communication system, an ROIP gateway, a video transcoding server, and a dispatch and control unit. This solution effectively resolves pressing on-site emergency command issues, including real-time audio and video interconnection with superior command centers, narrowband and broadband integration in emergency scenes, convergence of multiple video resources, and on-demand transcoding and backhaul. It fully unlocks the operational potential of emergency command vehicles and elevates on-site emergency response and command efficiency to a new level.
Core Components of Becke Telcom’s Converged Communication Solution
The rational design and synergy of the four core components form the technical foundation of the converged communication solution, with each component undertaking specific functional responsibilities and achieving seamless interconnection to build a comprehensive on-board communication and command ecosystem.
Converged Communication System
As the core control hub of the entire on-board solution, the converged communication system provides SIP-based softswitch communication capabilities, serving as the central node for all on-board communication services. It supports seamless docking with superior command and dispatch platforms and various on-board gateways, and integrates a full set of core functions including audio and video dispatch, two-way voice calls, ROIP intercom, and audio and video recording and video storage. All communication and command instructions on the emergency command vehicle are uniformly scheduled and managed through this system, ensuring the standardization and centralization of on-site communication services and laying a solid foundation for efficient on-site command.
ROIP Gateway
The ROIP gateway is the key component for realizing narrowband communication access and integration on emergency command vehicles, addressing the interconnection needs of various traditional narrowband communication devices in emergency scenarios. It supports the access of mainstream narrowband communication systems including VHF/UHF, PDT, DMR, TETRA, shortwave radio stations, and aviation radio stations, and achieves seamless interconnection and data interaction with other on-board converged communication equipment. By converting narrowband radio signals into IP-based data streams, the ROIP gateway breaks the communication barrier of single narrowband equipment, enabling unified scheduling and management of all narrowband communication resources by the on-board converged communication system and realizing the organic integration of narrowband communication with other on-board communication services.
Video Transcoding Server
The video transcoding server undertakes the core task of video resource convergence, protocol adaptation and format conversion on emergency command vehicles, solving the problem of incompatible video protocols and coding formats in emergency scenes. It supports the access of multiple mainstream video protocols including GB/T28181, SIP, RTSP, RTMP, RTP and SRT, and is compatible with H.264 and H.265 mainstream video coding standards for real-time transcoding. In addition to basic transcoding functions, it also provides practical video processing capabilities such as video screen fusion, watermark embedding and subtitle overlay, which can customize and optimize video streams according to the actual needs of emergency command, ensuring clear and stable video transmission and display in complex emergency environments.
Dispatch and Control Unit
The dispatch and control unit is the human-computer interaction terminal of the on-board converged communication system, based on on-board computer hardware and equipped with a professional video fusion dispatch system. Operators can realize unified scheduling and management of all on-board communication devices through the on-board computer, including core command operations such as audio and video call dispatch, emergency instruction receiving and delivery. The unit supports real-time display of geographic location information of on-site emergency points and communication equipment, and is equipped with professional map operation functions. Operators can complete regional dispatch and resource scheduling through map selection and positioning, making on-site emergency command more intuitive and efficient.
On-Board Equipment Interconnection and Networking Architecture
Becke Telcom’s converged communication solution for emergency command vehicles adopts a flexible and scalable networking architecture, which can realize the seamless interconnection of various on-board and on-site communication and video equipment, and build a comprehensive on-site emergency communication network covering satellite, wireless broadband, narrowband radio and private network.
The on-board system connects to satellite ground stations through vehicle-mounted satellite equipment to realize long-distance and cross-regional communication interconnection with superior command centers under the condition of damaged public communication networks. It relies on 4G/5G vehicle-mounted routers and broadband ad-hoc networks to build on-site broadband communication coverage, supporting high-speed transmission of large-bandwidth data such as video and high-definition images. The ROIP gateway is connected to DMR vehicle stations, walkie-talkies and shortwave radio stations to integrate on-site narrowband communication resources, while the video transcoding server accesses on-site video resources such as UAVs, ball and control cameras, and IP phones, realizing the convergence of all on-site audio and video and communication resources.
The on-board dispatch console and command seats are the core operation nodes of the system, and intelligent terminals on the emergency site can access the on-board converged communication system through the broadband ad-hoc network, realizing information sharing and command synergy between the command vehicle and on-site emergency personnel. The entire networking architecture is highly compatible and expandable, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the scale of the emergency scene and the type of equipment, meeting the communication and command needs of different emergency scenarios.
