In addition to providing radio interoperability, the platform allows for real-time video sharing, geospatial access, and data sharing. Most notably, LNK360 offers freedom of choice. Users can choose between or connect across any device, system, or application. Additionally, LNK360 scales on-demand to accommodate new devices via public or private long-term evolution (LTE), satellite, or terrestrial broadband.

Public safety agencies, schools, hospitals, and smart cities are among the beneficiaries of the platform. LNK360 connects all types of government and commercial land mobile radios (LMRs), mobile phones, and push-to-talk (PTT) apps. Organizations may choose to automate alerts and share data across agencies.

LNK360’s other interesting features include LMR and LTE PTT integration, PTT-to-PTT interoperability, group messaging, real-time location tracking and mapping, drone and robotic platform sharing, and more.

As for security, LNK360 offers secure end-to-end communications encrypted with federally approved advanced encryption standard (AES) ciphers.

“This is an innovative collaboration tool that spans the entire community. Our schools benefit from the experience our first responders have on the platform. Our goal is to connect with law enforcement more quickly, creating better situational awareness before they even reach the school. We’re also seeing a better way to work between schools,” said Philip Thorton, superintendent of schools in Warwick.

LNK360 is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices.
