Solutions Overview
Critical RF, Inc. makes software and hardware that works together to unify different forms of communications devices. Specifically, Critical RF uses technology known as Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) to provide its unified communications solutions.
These solutions allow users of fixed and wireless communications devices, such as computers, Personal Digital Assistants (“PDAs”), SmartPhones and two-way radios to communicate with one another. Many times these users want to communicate, but they have different devices, operate on different spectrum bands, or they are located in different geographic areas. Critical RF unifies communications across these different devices, frequencies, and locations.
First responders like police and firemen have a special term for unification of communications, -- “interoperability.”
The software developed by Critical RF to provide interoperability consists of two components: (1) a central server, hosted either by Critical RF or by the customer,-- their choice,-- and (2) end user software that runs on the customer’s device, whether it’s a policeman’s two-way radio, a college student’s Personal Digital Assistant (“PDA”), a desktop PC or a laptop.
Critical RF solutions target the following distinct customers:
(1) Public Safety and Homeland Security;
(2) Business and industrial users with multiple locations and/or mobile workforces;
(3) The consumer marketplace for wireless voice services over PDAs, smartphones, laptops, tablet PCs, and desktop computers;
(4) Campus alert communications for universities, stadiums, hospitals, and similar facilities.
The four market segments listed above exist internationally as well as domestically. Critical RF is well positioned to integrate its technology worldwide into products such as PDAs and laptops. Critical RF’s ownership of intellectual property makes it uniquely suited to provide its solutions both directly through its manufactured products, and through licensing and similar partnership arrangements.
