Abstract		Efficient information exchange is the fundament on which successful pre-hospital patient are should be based, especially when emergency medical services are being invoked. The quickly arrive at the scene, clear and reliable information at the right time are often crucial for the patient survival. All aspects of pre-hospital care require constant and efficient communications. In addition to using routine radio communications, the EMS team must organize and present patient information through spoken communication and in written reports. The voice transmission over radio channels can be limited because of weak signals or language problems. It need human operators. The aim of our contribution is to present a prototype for data exhange over radio network. Our prototype has shown that it we can simply, and exactly transfer the information over long distances.
