Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, method and computer-readable medium for controlling dispatch voice communications between fleets in a network are provided. The apparatus includes a multi-fleet dispatch console configured to receive a request for a dispatch group call including dispatch stations in a plurality of fleets and to establish the dispatch group call based upon the request. The multi-fleet dispatch console has a higher priority than any other dispatch console in the network. According to the method, the multi-fleet dispatch console may also determine whether a requestor of the dispatch group call is authorized to establish the requested dispatch group call and output an authorization denial message, if the requestor is not authorized to establish the dispatch group call. Additionally, the multi-fleet dispatch console may drop unavailable dispatch stations from existing group calls, if a priority of the request exceeds a priority of the existing group calls.
