Radio and Audio Switching (DXS)

The DXS is a flexible, audio switching system capable of integrating any industry-standard audio systems. The system integrates all audio circuits including radio, telephony, public address, voice recorder and alarms onto a single headset and / or console audio kit utilising a single PTT and two speakers. All audio circuits are accessible via a computer control interface using the Sysman's SoftSwitch application

Product Overview:

Sysman has continuously developed the product over the past 13 years, all developments being driven by industry requirements. The product can handle most network requirements and restrictions within the boundaries of sensible radio and audio usage. To date, 36 Emergency Services control centres in South Africa have installed systems. 

Sysman’s DXS is a leading edge solution in voice distribution of radio device, control technology. The system connects the operator with any radio network infrastructure from one unified source. The user interface is universal to all networks or radio & audio interfaces (eg FM, AM, MPT, Paging or E&M).  

Applications vary from full ‘CTI enabled’ control centre solutions to systems incorporating consoles, multi-channel radios, single channel radios, trunk radios, air band, paging, REMRAD, NEAR, PA, intercom, telephone-patching, audio entertainment and non standard audio systems.

Radio Control:

Full radio control is achieved via the radio controller. Compatible multi-channel radios offer computer controlled channel selection and sell call (Radio CLi) send and receive. Each operator has monitor or select capabilities for up to 14 simultaneous devices. Audio monitoring is priority-based on both monitor and select.

Multiple ‘radio-control’ systems can be connected with each system capable of controlling up to 16 radios. Radios are either data controlled, multi channel devices or fixed channel. The system accommodates dissimilar radios, multiple network technologies (eg Trunk, FM etc), and data / voice radios.

Distributed Network:

In using distributed network technology, the system is extremely flexible and scalable. As many as 256 nodes can be connected to the same network from different locations. With ‘break out’ options available, additional networks can be incorporated making connectivity almost limitless.

The DXS is scalable from one to 64 operator positions, and capable of connecting up to 256 audio ports. Audio port flexibility enables any audio port to be configured as either: TX & RX or, TX or RX only.

Connections to external systems such as PBX and Voice Recorder technology is thus made easy. All audio connections can be fixed channel or controlled dynamically by the software.
