Interoperability between land mobile radio (LMR) systems, broadband PTT, and applications to eliminate barriers and unify communications for all responders.
LMR interoperability made easy
One link to Critical Connect connects your ASTRO 25 system with other LMR networks, broadband PTT services, and control room applications. And, Critical Connect separates itself from traditional solutions by enhancing interoperable communication with features such as private calling, automatic roaming, grouping/regrouping, and end-to-end LMR encryption.
Simple
One secure connection provides seamless communication with internal groups and external organizations, reducing the cost and complexity of interoperable PTT.
Flexible
Select with whom you want to connect from the other agencies and broadband PTT services linked to Critical Connect, quickly setting up and tearing down connections as needed.
Scalable
Monthly subscription fee allows you to adjust level of service quickly and easily as needs grow.

Improve multi-agency coordination
Listen to Brad Stoddard, Michigan Public Safety Communications System Director, talk about how the State of Michigan is using Critical Connect to improve inter-agency communication and enhance cross-border mutual aid.
Enhance multi-state situational awareness
