The TurboVUi Solo Client is application software that runs on a customer’s PC. It presents a virtual MOTOTRBO radio
panel to the remote user. The remote user is able to transmit and receive audio, as well as control all radio functions. The
TurboVUi Solo Client software provides:

Virtual Front Panel – all radio functions and buttons
are accessible

Drop-down list of short-cuts for radio menu items

Push-to-Talk button to enable transmit audio

Intercom button for Client-to-Client
communications

Replay button to repeat last audio transmission

Access to audio and events from previous 24 hours

Access to text messaging between radio subscribers
and other TurboVUi Solo Clients

Private calls using drop-down list of radio
subscribers

Remote Radio Reboot
TurboVUi Solo client provides remote access to MOTOTRBO
radios via IP. Use TurboVUi Solo for simultaneous radio sharing.
Not only can users of the shared radio have push-to-talk and listen
capabilities; they also can access other radio functions.
TurboVUi Solo is specifically suited for situations when you are out
of radio range, yet still need to communicate on your talk group,
such as:

Underground or building facilities that prevent radio
communications

A home office that is outside the coverage area of the
radio system

A temporary travel situation removing you from the coverage area
With TurboVUi Solo and an IP connection, users can stay in “radio” contact.
As shown in this diagram, the TurboVUi Solo system consists of the TurboVUi IP Gateway module, reseller-provided
MOTOTRBO base station, and TurboVUi Solo Client software running on one or more remote PCs.
Simultaneous Radio Sharing
A base station radio is sometimes shared between multiple users. Prior to TurboVUi, this was accomplished with speaker
boxes, microphones, push-to-talk switches, and audio junction boxes, plus wiring to bring audio to each workstation.
After all this, the user gets very little functionality; simply push-to-talk, and listen.
The TurboVUi Solo system allows each user to run the Client application on their existing PC. No additional audio
wiring or installation is required since any IP connection (LAN, WAN, or Internet) is used to transfer audio and data. In
addition, the user not only gets talk and listen capabilities, but also MOTOTRBO radio functions listed in the “Radio
Function” table below.
Plus, the TurboVUi Client software provides:

Instant Replay for the last received message

History of transmissions from the previous 24 hours

Intercom to communicate with other Clients without using radio talk time
Remote Radio Access
Radio users sometimes find themselves outside the radio coverage area, such as when traveling, or in a building with
limited coverage. If an Internet connection is available, the TurboVUi Solo system allows a user to stay in “radio”
contact.
