Multi-Vendor System Integration That Works
Smith’s RF Systems, LLC isn’t tied to a single vendor — and that’s exactly why we’re trusted to make the whole system work. Paul has hands-on integration, configuration, and field experience with industry-leading equipment from top-tier RF and telecom manufacturers. From repeaters to power systems, amplifiers to monitoring tools — if it’s in your rack, chances are Paul knows it inside out.
This multi-vendor expertise allows us to diagnose issues faster, ensure compatibility, and deliver tailored solutions that respect your existing infrastructure.








Smarter Monitoring Through Seamless Davicom Integration
Reliable communication starts with visibility. Paul specializes in integrating Davicom NEURO and Cortex platforms into RF systems to deliver real-time insight into repeater health, power supply alarms, PA faults, VSWR trends, and more. Whether it’s SNMP mapping, custom input cards, or site-wide alarm logic, we help turn complex infrastructure into an intuitive, centralized dashboard — so you know exactly what’s happening, before it becomes a problem.
Reliable Power Starts at the Core
Power issues are one of the leading causes of system downtime — but they’re also one of the most preventable. With hands-on experience configuring ICT DC power systems and integrating Eaton UPS backups, Paul ensures your infrastructure stays protected, monitored, and properly distributed. From clean installations to SNMP alarm integration and load balancing, we build power systems that don’t just work — they communicate.

Precision Matters in RF Power
The performance of your entire radio system depends on the reliability and tuning of your RF power path — from transmitter output to antenna. Paul has extensive hands-on experience working with Crescend power amplifiers, TX/RX combiners and duplexers, and dBSpectra filters, ensuring every component is aligned, tested, and optimized. Whether it’s site commissioning, intermod mitigation, or troubleshooting degraded channels, we bring the tools and expertise to fine-tune every signal path for peak performance and long-term stability.

Dispatch Console Integration & Support
Paul has extensive experience working with dispatch consoles and their integration into RF and NXDN networks. He has configured and supported deployments using Zetron MAX Dispatch, Telex IP consoles, and Kenwood’s KAS-20 system. His involvement ranges from initial setup and IP routing to audio interface configuration, console-to-repeater mapping, and latency or audio quality troubleshooting.
Whether the console is connected via donor radios, IP gateways, or directly tied into a repeater network, Paul ensures proper PTT routing, audio path verification, and site-to-site coordination, helping agencies maintain clear, uninterrupted dispatch communication.
