Proven

Avtec dispatch consoles have been the top choice for many critical communication dispatch centers for more than 40 years. With more than 1,200 systems deployed, our Scout consoles can be found in hundreds of state and local government public safety dispatch centers where thousands of first responders and dispatchers rely on our mission-critical technology.

Scalable

The Avtec Scout family of dispatch consoles provides a pure VoIP solution to meet your VA hospital’s specific dispatch requirements. Innately scalable, its components can be distributed over a LAN/WAN using standard Ethernet technology. The flexible design of Scout’s platform allows it to easily adjust and grow in capacity and capabilities as your requirements change.

Reliable

With Avtec Scout at the core of communications, you can connect team members instantaneously with exceptional audio quality. If situations, such as weather or power outages, impact your primary dispatch center, your communications can automatically failover to another facility for operational continuity.
