VIRVE enables data transmission and the use of different data services

Short messages

Dense status messages can be transmitted fast and flexibly in the form of short messages, which saves time and network capacity. The maximum length of a short message is 140 characters from a terminal and 256 characters from the base location. Short messages are transmitted to the terminal in VIRVE.

Status messages

Status messages may be used to send routine reports between users and the emergency centre. Users can report their statuses simply by pressing a button, for example AVAILABLE, MISSION, IN POSITION or BREAK. The centre receives the message instantly without the need of establishing a telephone connection.

Automatic location

Via the GPS location the emergency centre, other members of a group and the users themselves are able to maintain awareness of a user's location. People on duty at the base are also able to observe the approximate location of the speaker based on the reference provided by support stations.
