Remote Radio Monitoring Solution

The purpose of this project is to facilitate the remote monitoring of radio traffic that is utilising a mobile temporary radio repeater.

CSU augments fixed DFES radio infrastructure where this is inadequate, affected by emergency incidents (i.e. Bushfire/Storm/Cyclone). Additional temporary radio repeaters are positioned and commissioned as required. Currently these repeaters are only able to be monitored within their transmission range.

The RRRM Project has been approved to plan, design, build, and implement a prototype device for The Communications Support Unit to enable remote monitoring of radio traffic via the Internet.

There are two purposes for this equipment:

  1. To assess the health of the equipment by monitoring quality of transmissions.

  1. To allow management oversight and tactical awareness remote from the Incident.

Adding this facility to a radio repeater will:

  1. Enhance the capability of the radio network

  1. Assist CSU in its development of a strategy for a full RoIP capability and

  1. Serve as a technology demonstrator / Proof of Concept for further development.

The proposed solution would be an airgapped monitoring client that utilises software defined radio to Transmit the audio via IP to a streaming server, aswell as provide analytics on other broadcasting stations in a specified frequency range.
