Applications are provided to communication devices provide flexible operation between default modes of operation and an expanded mode of operation in which both communication devices share capabilities. A purchase order is created for a plurality of communication devices. A determination is made as to whether a collaboration feature is enabled at each device. The collaboration feature being enabled at each device results in additional revenue to the ordering process. If collaboration is enabled at both devices at, and then collaboration operation are enabledwhich allows for predetermined operating features to be registered and additional revenue applied. The communication devicesare then automatically linked (via information sharing linkusing linkage application) to share capabilities of the registered features at. The resulting order comprises a plurality of communication devices that provided an expanded mode of operation when operating together.

Method and apparatus for distribution of applications to a plurality of communication devices for an expanded operating mode

A method and device enables transferring a call between devices of a single user. The method comprises pairing, over a master-less communication link, a narrowband communication device operating in a narrowband communication system and a broadband communication device operating in a broadband communication system. A radio identifier is shared between the narrowband communication device and the broadband communication device, enabling call details to be transferred between the narrowband communication device and the broadband communication device. An operational status of either the narrowband communication device or the broadband communication device is then evaluated. When a call associated with particular call details is prior established on both the narrowband communication system and the broadband communication system, the call can be transferred, using the radio identifier and the call details, and based on the operational status, from one to the other of the broadband communication device and the narrowband communication device.

Method and system for transferring a call between devices of a single user

A communication system () provides collaboration between narrowband communication devices () and broadband communication devices () operating over different networks. The communication devices () are linked to provide peer-to-peer communication that supports the dissemination of public safety information to a public safety personnel user utilizing the devices. Applications within the devices () automatically control features amongst the plurality of devices for redundancy of critical information, removal of non-critical information and power management. Context information can also be examined and shared between amongst the devices.

Enhanced public safety communication system

A multi-sided radio () includes an audio centric side () including a speaker () operationally independent of functions on an opposing side, a data centric side () on the opposing side of the audio centric side, and a top controller side () having at least one control function (or). The audio centric side can include an option module () for placement as an insert enabling additional functions including camera functions, environmental sensors, WLAN transceivers, audio upgrades, and bar code readers as examples. The data centric side can include a keypad (and) and a display (). The speaker can reside behind the display of the data centric side and has full porting out of the audio centric side.
