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 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.
