Talkgroup traffic exchange between BrandMeister Master and IPSC2 servers

A couple of months ago Artem/Brandmeister and Kurt/IPSC2 have worked together to create a new protocol to interconnect BrandMeister Master Servers and IPSC2 servers, for the purpose of exchanging TalkGoup traffic: OpenBridge.

Since version 20180610, BrandMeister master servers can be interconnected with IPSC2 servers to exchange talkgroup content. Talkgroup numbers are configured on both sides, and traffic goes both ways with the ability to have traffic on multiple TalkGroups at the same time.

While you can check for the presence of an OpenBridge connection on a BrandMeister master’s status page, the protocol does not include any connection-establishment, nor keep-alive.

If you have an IPSC2 server and would like to interconnect it with the BrandMeister network, please contact the BrandMeister Master Server of your country (or the closest one if there are none in your country) to request the connection.
