Tango Tango uses encrypted push-to-talk voice, GPS location services, emergency alerting, recording, fire tones, and text/multimedia messaging, enhancing team communication in life-threatening situations. The FirstNet Certified platform integrates existing two-way radio networks to the internet, extending communications for first responders.
Its newest feature, First Response Tones, decodes two-tone audio sequences sent over an agency’s radio or pager channel and sends both text and dispatcher audio notifications to station-specific talk-groups. Enabling firefighters and other personnel to hear alerts specifically targeted to their station, First Response Tones works directly with smartphones, eliminating the need for additional equipment such as pagers and walkie talkies, which many fire departments struggle to afford. Combined with Tango Tango’s LMR (Land Mobile Radio) integrated PTT (Push-To-Talk) app, firefighters can now receive emergency notifications regardless of whether or not they have a department-issued device or if they are in radio range.
