Virtual Base Station
Virtual Base Station (VBS) software turns your desktop, laptop, or UMPC computer into a soft two-way radio. With the VBS program running and an active internet or WAN/LAN connection, the user presses the computer’s space bar to operate the push-to-talk capability. Like the iWalkie, the communication is in half-duplex mode. The minimum computer requirements include Windows 95, sound card, 16MB of RAM, 1MB of free hard disk space, speakers, and a microphone.
VBS operates seamlessly with SiteCAST, SafetyNET, iWalkie Talkie, or other VBS users to provide PTT communication. Like other internet applications, it can be launched on your computer and left running all day; thus allowing you to monitor the communication at all times.
VBS utilizes thin-client software to provide virtual, on-screen talk groups (or chat rooms) with other connected users. VBS users can establish one-to-one conversations or group conversations, depending on the talk groups which have been pre-established. VBS also allows you to set up new talk groups on-the-go, add new users or change pre-established groups as needed. Similar to the SiteCAST functionality, users control both their mic and output levels. Like iWalkie, VBS significantly expands the potential user base of the two-way radio system by converting fixed and mobile computers into soft radios.
