1. The Mutualink Interop Network
The Mutualink Interop Network is a ground breaking method of connectivity.
The Network operates in a peer to peer environment that can be accessed via dedicated or virtual connections. The plug and play structure of the Network eliminates complex and expensive configurations.
Entities joining the Mutualink Interop Network are “automatically discovered” by all existing Network participants. Network participants make the determination whether to include new Mutualink subscribers in their visible list of Network peers. Additionally, Network participants can search the directory by geography and entity type developing communities of similar agencies.
Communications on the secure Mutualink Network are end-to-end encrypted using federally approved AES ciphers and are mutually authenticated using standards-based public-key cryptography.

2. The Interoperability WorkStation (IWS)
The Interoperability WorkStation serves two primary functions, it is the point of communication between entities on the Network for voice, text and sharing of data files, it is also the control point by which resources may be contributed to incidents. The Interoperability WorkStation allows users to communicate in several distinct methods, “Intercom” allows communications between Interoperability WorkStations during an incident, “Transmit” broadcasts to radio and other resources participating in incidents and IWS users can text message and share video feeds and data files with other incident participants.
Additionally, portable configurations of the Interoperability WorkStation can be moved, at any time, to pre-determined destinations with qualified broadband access, providing users with back up dispatch capabilities.
