Morning Jed, This is a very delicate matter when you deal with public safety. There are agencies in the country who for whatever reason choose to operate L & P matters over Roip and Interplex systems. These for the most part do work everyday. However they do quite often rely on infrastructure that does not belong to them and leave failures out of their control. That said, the new things from Link communications along with other manufacturers such as Zetron and Motorola all offer Ip options put together with proper installation procedures will give good access to system resources when the only connection available is an ethernet connection. Keep in mind there has to be an alternate plan when the resource medium fails. To not do so will kill people. Be aware of the baseline requirements that a portal such as what you are requesting demands. High bandwidth that is very costly and can be limited in distance by provider infrastructure design. There still has to be a way for the user of this system resource to disable and enable the transmit features should it be determined there is interference when in use. And finally there are limits on what technologies can be intergrated with this setup, some protocols which are soon going to be required or are already in place will not communicate across this medium. Keep that in mind and find yourself a reputable communications technician, you can probably find what is needed to make this work. Jason
