Control. Redundancy. Simplicity.

Why More Agencies Choose the ATLAS® System – Backed by J&K – Over Statewide and Legacy Options

You Own the System

With ATLAS, control stays in your hands. You manage your infrastructure, your policies, and your updates — without waiting on state approvals or outside IT cycles.

Modern, Flexible Infrastructure

ATLAS uses Latitude™ technology to enable auto-discovery and self-healing across your network. When a new site connects, it configures itself and updates surrounding nodes — saving time and reducing risk.

It’s an IP-native design that overlays LMR, not the other way around — which means better uptime and a longer system life.

Distributed Call Control

Every ATLAS site can independently initiate and manage calls using standard IP multicasting and audio CODECs. That means faster voice delivery with no single point of failure.

Simulcast Simplified

Traditional simulcast systems rely on centralized hardware. ATLAS replaces that with a software-driven solution that replicates comparator and wide-area controller functionality at each site.

The result: scalable, flexible simulcast — without the hardware headaches.

Not all radio systems are built for real-world demands.

ATLAS® adapts where others fall short — delivering uptime, flexibility, and cost control that legacy or statewide solutions can’t match.

Spares and Support: Less Is More

With ATLAS, you only need four core components in stock. Hardware is commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), so you’re never locked into proprietary spares or waiting on rare parts.

Plus, most upgrades are software-based — meaning your investment grows with your system.

Resiliency and Self-Healing

If a site or link goes down, ATLAS keeps operating in isolated mode. When the connection restores, it self-heals automatically and re-syncs without manual intervention.

This makes it ideal for rural, weather-exposed, or high-risk coverage areas.

Choosing the right partner matters. J&K doesn’t just install ATLAS® — we help you plan, deploy, and support it from day one.

What J&K Brings to Your ATLAS® Deployment

Choosing ATLAS® is only part of the solution. Choosing the right partner to design, deploy, and support it makes all the difference. J&K Communications brings decades of experience in critical communications — from rural coverage planning to console integration and everything in between.
