Making a patch with Mimer X-Link
The talk group used in the Vokkero system becomes a closed environment where users of other radio technologies are not allowed. This can be helped by building a bridge between technologies using the X-Link interface.
Mimer X-Link connects any two radios, also a fixed Vokkero unit, together. Building a permanent patch between the systems.
The patch is setup using the Vokkero “WI” 4-Wire unit, that acts as part of the Vokkero talkgroup. This is connected to the X-Link interface and this is then connected to a two way radio.
All audio in the Vokkero group will be retransmitted over the two way radio. When a radio user transmits this will be received by the fixed two way radio and transmitted in the Vokkero group.
The X-Link uses “Vox”-control to sence audio in the Vokkero group and then activate PTT on the two way radio.
Depending on type of two way radio the X-link uses different technologies to sence activity and open the audio path to the Vokkero group.
