The Gateway is a small but versatile Linux based computer appliance which interfaces digital radio networks with other systems and runs applications tailored to that system, such as the following:
- Text messaging to and from DMR radio systems
- Alarm System Integration: Fire Alarm, Intruder, Nurse Call
- Telephone: Phone Calls, Test Messaging
- GPS Tracking
- Voltage Monitoring
- Email
- The Internet: Websites, Twitter
The unit can run multiple applications, think of it like a Smartphone without the screen but for radio networks. Some applications are built in, and others can be uploaded.
However, there's also an option to use the built-in interface for customer creation of new applications.

Alarm Handler
Connecting any type of alarm system, including intruder and fire alarms, to radio systems. When an alarm, prealarm or fault is initiated, the Gateway can send a text message, email or voice message to the radio system, allowing staff to proactively react prior to the alarm sounding.
Teleconnect
The Gateway can act as a PBX for up to 10 VOIP phones. This is useful for mobile command and control when coupled with tracking and teleconnect.
Access Control
Control gates, barriers or secure areas. Gates and barriers can be opened by sending pre-set radio messages to the Gateway.
Access Control (ID/GPS)
Authorisation and access control of gates, barriers or secure areas, using radio ID and GPS position.
Vehicle Monitoring
GPS speed monitoring, with the ability to log and raise alarms if speed is exceeded or if a sudden stop occurs. Logging and reporting of these events could help to explain an incident.
Remote Equipment Monitoring
Control and monitor remote equipment. By adding OPC compliant O/I extender, such as Moxa, additional equipment can be monitored. The benefit is reporting by exception, to keep radio traffic to a minimum.
Nurse Call
Connecting Nurse Call systems to radio systems. When an alarm is initiated, the Gateway can send a text message to the radio system, SMS to phone or even an email, allowing staff to proactively react as soon as the event happens.
Radio Management
Send and receive messages over the radio network to actively monitor connectivity, allowing dealers to know about radio faults before the customer.
Web Interface
Building and serving custom web graphical interfaces such as messaging portals via simple HTML.
LED Sign
The radio system can use the SMC Gateway to send messages to Jetfile II compatible LED signs. Used in receptions, hotels, car parks, etc.
Live Web Updates
Monitoring of On-line services such as open weather and tide times to send exceptional conditions to radio, SMS and/or email. For example the Gateway can make a decision based on the forecast wind speed and advise crane operators to cease work if conditions become unsafe.
Power Monitoring
Power monitoring of battery backup, with the ability to shut down unnecessary equipment, providing longer up time for essential equipment.
Lone Worker Monitoring
Time based active lone worker monitoring, with escalation to email/ SMS/radio message or hardwired siren etc. Can also be triggered via GPS position. Perfect for monitoring an individual or groups in a high risk area.
Temporary Alarms
Create a temporary intruder alarm with motion sensors. Connect wireless (IoT) sensors to create a local alarm system and use radio messages to arm the system via the Gateway, and alert relevant people when activated. Useful for building sites, police scenes or other areas which need temporary security.
Social Media
Send radio messages to Twitter and vice versa. This is useful for shop safe schemes, to keep non radio participants fully informed.
