SmartLink Radio Networks

SmartLink Radio Networks designs, develops, and manufactures interoperable radio communications platforms. These systems are engineered for public safety, critical infrastructure, and commercial clients, enabling disparate radio systems to communicate with each other to form an integrated network. The company's core technology, the SmartLink I-Switch, is software that controls and routes communications across multiple frequencies and air interfaces.

The firm also provides a long-range, two-way radio network that serves as a primary or redundant communication system for alarm signals. This ensures that alerts reach a central station or fire department even if traditional phone lines are compromised. The network operates via a mesh system where each subscriber's transceiver also acts as a repeater, creating multiple redundant paths for signals to travel, which enhances reliability and speed. This technology is designed to replace telephone lines for central alarm reporting.

Founded in 1991, SmartLink Radio Networks was headquartered in Wallingford, Connecticut. On April 4, 2007, the company was acquired by and became a subsidiary of CalAmp Corp.
