Marine Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) Project
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services has built a statewide connected Radio over Internet Protocol (RoIP) system allowing them to link every Marine Rescue Group in the state together enabling remote monitoring for radio messages, including listening for distress calls statewide, greatly enhancing our capability to respond. This system also records every transmission ensuring that no message is missed and can be instantly replayed. This innovation has already resulted in lives being saved by picking up a distress call that would have otherwise been missed.
