Motorola Solutions MCC 5500 Dispatch Console is a full-featured conventional radio system dispatch console designed
to handle dispatch requirements for small to medium sized communication centers. It is a PC-based console that
seamlessly integrates radio, paging, and telephony allowing dispatch operators to effectively manage and communicate
more effectively with field personnel over numerous channels in a wide area system.
The MCC 5500 is a digital, modular radio dispatch console with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) running
under Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit) with SP1. Each console system can support up to 36 dispatch operator positions
and 128 resources (radio channels and analog telephone lines). The maximum number of telephone lines supported is
72 (2 per CES shelf).
The MCC 5500 Dispatch Console allows users to:
 Control conventional, digital, and mobile radio channels
 Receive and make calls on regular telephone lines
 Use the Call Director to route telephone calls to a headset
 Send pages, either through an internal paging encoder or optional external encoder
 Operate a voter/comparator system by receiving comparator audio and by providing status and control to each
receiver
 Decode and dispatch Push-To-Talk (PTT) identifications with Stat-Alert (MDC-1200), ASTRO, GE-STAR, DTMF,
and iDEN signaling systems.
SUPPORTED CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS:
 Stat-Alert (MDC-1200)
 Securenet (code/clear only)
 GE-STAR
 ASTRO 25 Conventional (P25 Compliant - digital)
The MCC 5500 Dispatch Console supports a variety of trunked radio systems as a wireless console using mobile radios
as control stations. In most cases, MCC 5500 dispatch operators can access the full set of features supported on the
mobile radio unit, but with the mobile radio located where needed for proper RF coverage.
SUPPORTED WIRELESS CONSOLE INTERFACE:
 SMARTNET
 SmartZone
 SmartZone Omnilink
 ASTRO 25 Trunking
 PassPort/LTR Trunking
 iDEN
Functionality as a wireless console is dependent upon the method of interface and radio. The main choices of a
wireless console interface are:
 TRC - provides limited functionality within the system
 Serial Link - ASTRO radio only (ASTRO Consolette W7 model and APX 7500 Consolette) - provides PTT ID,
