Big news from our partner Teldio! At the recent Motorola Solutions Channel Partner Expo (CPE), Teldio released D3M, the first web application that simplifies the end-to-end process of designing, documenting, delivering, and managing two-way radio networks. TodaysWirelessWorld.com reported from CPE that the response to D3M was overwhelmingly positive. The Teldio booth staff could barely keep up with the demand for live demos. Both technicians and sales reps see extreme value in the application and are already starting to use the tool with new customer opportunities. D3M allows for seamless collaboration among all parties involved in rolling out anything from a small radio deployment to a large, multimillion-dollar statewide communications network. The web app is an intuitive, all-in-one tool that addresses the increasing complexity of digital two-way radio networks. Most importantly, it allows users to overcome the difficulties associated with managing expensive technical assets while abiding by engineering rules, often a critical aspect in the successful completion of two-way radio network design and implementation. "Through Teldio's years of experience as an application developer for the two-way radio industry, it became clear that a tool for network design and management was long overdue," said Carl Carruthers, CEO of Teldio. "With the growing complexity of radio networks and their ability to become part of a unified communication platform, dealers and manufacturers alike need to simplify the end-to-end process of radio network design and management; and D3M clearly addresses this need." D3M features include:
  • Ability to architect a two-way radio network of any size
  • Intuitive drag-and-drop editor
  • Built-in engineering rules
  • Automatically generated asset inventory database
  • Project proposal generation and printing
  • File storage
  • Live collaboration on projects between multiple users
The benefits of D3M are already being recognized by those who have test driven the web application. Our own Chris Pace, IP Radio Solutions Manager here at BearCom, was quoted as saying, "I've had a chance to work with the D3M tool on several occasions over the last year through the alpha and beta releases. I would recommend this tool to all two-way radio network technicians, as it brings great value to them and the rest of their organization. D3M is an excellent collaboration tool for sales, engineers, and technicians. Being able to share the design information in one centralized location will be far more efficient than our current method of e-mailing multiple file types back and forth." All interested users will have a chance to try out the tool free of charge for 30 days. With the widespread migration to digital radio networks and the added complexity brought on by integration to other communication platforms, the need to effectively manage a two-way radio network is vital. D3M will become the tool two-way radio service providers trust to ensure their projects are designed, documented, delivered, and managed in an organized, professional, and efficient manner.
