System Architecture
A mobile device running the TurboVUi Pocket mobile app can connect to a TurboVUi IP Gateway using either the 3G/4G cellular
network or a Wi-Fi connection, as indicated in the following architectural diagram.
Limitations
A Smartphone running the TurboVUi Pocket app should not be considered a full-time replacement for a 2Way radio for the following
reasons:
1. Battery life for a Smartphone when running an application such as Pocket cannot be expected to be as long-lasting as a 2Way
radio. The battery of a Smartphone may not last an entire 8-hour shift, as a 2Way radio is designed to do.
2. The audio for an incoming call may not be heard if the Smartphone is in a pocket or purse, unless a Bluetooth earpiece is used.
3. For iOS devices, an app running in the background will terminate after 15 minutes of non-use.
