Mimer SoftRadio Service

With the use of SoftRadio Service, developers of other dispatch solutions can integrate SoftRadio and make use of the functions within SoftRadio.

 Flexible Middleware for Critical Radio Communication

Bridge any professional radio system with any operator interface – including PoC platforms, custom dispatchers, and legacy systems.

What is SoftRadio Service?

Mimer SoftRadio Service is a flexible middleware platform that connects almost any radio system (Tetra, DMR, analog) with any operator environment (custom GUIs, PoC systems, SoftRadio clients).

Whether you're building autonomous ship operations, managing airport communications, or developing a third-party dispatch app – this API-driven service is your foundation.

Key Features

Integration with Tetra Systems

  • Motorola Dimetra – Direct core integration (no donor radios).

 

SoftRadio with Mimer Network Interfaces

  • Simple voice + PTT connection using donor radios.
  • Ideal for autonomous ships or remote sites.
  • Upcoming developments include support for PA control, foghorns, channel change.

Custom Dispatch GUIs

  • Build your own operator interface with our API.
  • IP-based API – Develop your UI with your own tools for any platform
  • Clean integration for developers and end users.

Can be easily integrated into your existing applications

System Examples

API2
A PoC system provider can make their own interface to the SoftRadio Service. Connecting PoC talk groups to one or more radio channels.
API3
An example with a company running autonomous ships, where the onboard radio is remote controlled. This radio can be operated from the companies own software platform.
API4
An example with an industry integrating the radio control into their own software.
API5
An example with a bus company integrating the radio control into their own software.
API6
Example of a customer that wants to use a web browser at the operator to remote control several radios. They have therefor made their own browser GUI.

Softradio Service - API

people (1)-1

What is SoftRadio Service?

SoftRadio Service is a Windows service that uses the Mimer protocol to monitor and control Mimer Network Interfaces. It functions similarly to a SoftRadio operator but forwards commands using the MimerID of connected clients.

How Clients Connect

API clients must provide a unique MimerID as their OperatorID when connecting via the SoftRadio Service Client Protocol. Once connected, clients receive real-time status updates from the Mimer Network Interface, including whether a radio is transmitting or receiving, which operator is responsible for a transmission, and the type of radio in use.

Functionalities

Clients request specific functionalities when logging in, such as audio control, and specify which MimerIDs they need access to. Some functionalities allow audio mixing options, either as a single mono stream or separate streams for each radio.

SoftRadio System Overview 

Core Components
A SoftRadio system consists of three main elements: Radios, Mimer Network Interfaces, and Operators.

  • Mimer Network Interfaces are hardware and virtual softwares units developed by LS Electronics, preconfigured for specific radio models.
  • Operators use Mimer SoftRadio, a Windows-based dispatcher application that communicates with Mimer Network Interfaces via the proprietary Mimer protocol.
  • Operators remotely control radios through the SoftRadio client over TCP (internet) or UDP (local network). The Mimer Network Interface processes and forwards commands, such as transmitting, changing channels, and handling calls.
  • VoiceLog is a logging software that records all radio and intercom audio traffic, storing files securely with metadata for search, playback, and export.
  • RadioServer host and manage SoftRadio system components, enabling centralized logging, configuration, and data routing across multiple operator and radio connections.

Shared Access & Virtual Interfaces
Mimer Network Interfaces broadcast data on the local network, allowing multiple operators to control a single radio, see the same display, and hear the same audio. This also enables Mimer VoiceLog to record transmissions.
In some setups, Mimer Network Interfaces exist as software-based Virtual Network Interfaces, used for API connections to dispatcher systems (e.g., Tetra networks).

MimerID & Identification
Each Operator and Mimer Network Interface has a unique MimerID which ensures proper routing of commands and recordings in the system.
