Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method are provided for integrating a virtual assistant (VA) subsystem () with a repeater () of a communication system (). A conventional repeater () containing repeater receiver (), a repeater controller (), and a repeater transmitter () communicate with a plurality of radios (). The repeater controller () places the repeater () into a repeater mode or a virtual assistant mode based on a squelch code associated with an incoming radio signal. The system provides virtual assistant operation, prioritization of mission critical calls, interrupt, and privacy on a single conventional channel. The incorporation of the virtual assistant into a conventional repeater system has been advantageously achieved without the use of additional infrastructure or additional licensed channels.
