System, method, and apparatus for IP-based radio communications

A method for communicating Internet Protocol (IP) based radio communications of data over digital networks, said method comprising:

• configuring at least one browser-based dispatch console to communicate said data using a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) connection;
• and
• processing said data between a digital domain and an analog domain using a Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) gateway device including at least an Internet media module and a radio interface module,
• wherein said RoIP gateway device is directly connected to at least one analog radio device using a wired connection,
• and wherein said RoIP gateway device and said console communicate directly with each other over said WebRTC connection.

An apparatus forming a Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) gateway device, said apparatus comprising:

• an Internet media module for communicating with at least one browser-based dispatch console, said console configured to communicate using a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) connection;
• and
• a radio interface module for converting audio data between analog domain and digital domain,
• wherein said RoIP gateway device is located at an edge of a network opposite said console,
• wherein said RoIP gateway device is directly connected to at least one analog radio device using a wired connection,
• and wherein said RoIP gateway device and said console communicate directly with each other over said WebRTC connection.
