Haloid Connects ChatGPT Voice to Analog Two-Way Radios, Bridging AI and Mission-Critical Land Mobile Radio

Real-time language translation, virtual dispatch, and vehicle lookups are now possible on the radio fleets organizations already own — without hardware upgrades

STONY BROOK, N.Y. — AUGUST 12, 2026 - Haloid Solutions announced today that it has integrated OpenAI’s real-time voice AI —ChatGPT’s Voice — with conventional land mobile radio (LMR) systems, allowing radio users to speak with the AI platform over the channels and hardware they already own. Haloid is the first company to publicly demonstrate the capability on standard LMR radios.

In a working demonstration, Haloid engineers connected four analog portable radios to OpenAI’s Realtime API using a combination of off-the-shelf hardware and custom-developed software. The system translated live radio traffic between languages and returned the location of GPS-equipped vehicles in response to spoken queries from the field.

“We pursued this integration to democratize the benefits of AI for all LMR users, regardless of organization size. Within a week, a small church or a large police agency can connect the radios they’ve relied on for decades to the capabilities of AI. This is a game changer,” said John Pershing, Managing Director at Haloid Solutions.

Bringing AI to radio fleets without replacing them

Radio owners can connect existing LMR radios and repeaters to AI voice platforms without overhauling their communications systems. With Haloid’s approach, organizations keep their existing radio fleets. An AI voice platform can operate as a virtual dispatcher on a shared channel or sit on a dedicated talkgroup, handling translation, information lookups, and logging alongside normal traffic. Haloid can connect analog, P25, and DMR systems.

Integration with existing enterprise systems

Because the AI layer runs in software, it can be connected to an organization’s existing tools —  dispatch, asset tracking, work-order, and inventory systems — so that spoken requests over the radio return live operational data. Haloid provides both the hardware interfacing and the software integration work, which lets organizations pilot the capability without a large capital outlay.

What Haloid is offering

• Demonstrated AI-to-LMR integration. Haloid has connected commercial LMR radios to OpenAI’s real-time voice AI, ChatGPT Voice, using existing radios and infrastructure, showing that organizations of any size can pilot AI over the systems they already operate.
• Almost unlimited functions. Supported use cases include live language translation, virtual dispatch, call logging and transcription, and voice-driven queries against enterprise systems.
• Beta program. Haloid is inviting businesses and government agencies to join its AI Beta program, and is accepting requests for production integration and custom software development. To participate in Haloid’s AI Beta program, or to be a quoted a custom solution, please contact our AI development team directly.
