Next Tetra Related Goals

Hello All,
During the second week of March, we have set some goals for our Tetra Pilot.

1) Successful demonstration of Tetra Dispatcher console at IWCE. We
took the special laptop to the show, and would like to demonstrate for
show exhibitors what the system can do from the show.

2) Incorporation of the Tetra telephony into the Office telephony.
There are two Asterisk boxes involved, and I would like to setup a trunk
so that a Tetra terminal can call an office extension. We have
dedicated phones working now, but how about a complete integration with
an existing office phone network?

3) Incorporation of the tetra telephony and an outside telephone line,
full time. I tested this a couple weeks ago using the fax line, but I
had to give the fax line back. I would like to install a full-time
connection to the outside telephone network, and examine calls working
in both directions. I don't think outbound calls will be a problem. It
should be "dial the number, and go." Inbound calls could be a
concern... the Asterisk box will need help routing the call to the
proper radio terminal. It is my gut guess that I will need to setup an
IVR (computerized dial 1 for this, dial 2 for that, dial 3 for someone
else) and route the call from there.

Lots of good stuff ahead!
