SwitchplusIP Wins APCO Hot Product Award
New Platform for Radio Voice Crossbanding
Interoperability between all your disparate communications equipment including digital radio, analog radio and vehicle intercom
Simplifying Radio Over IP technology
The Radio Voice Crossbanding System (RVCS) was developed by C4i in conjunction with US Army PEO-I using a mix of COTS and Government GFX Software and Commercial Hardware.
The resultant product provides crystal clear voice communications crossbanding among any Vehicle Intercom (VIC-3/5), Digital Radio Systems (WNW, SRW, EPLRS, EHF/UHF, NCW/WIN-T, etc.), and Analog Radio Systems (SINCGARS, HF/UHF, Bowman, etc.) providing Point-to-Point & Push-To-Talk communications from Brigade to Battalion to Vehicle and down to the Soldier.
The C4i RVCS provides a unified tactical voice communications solution for brigade to battalion & lower. It does this by providing voice Crossbanding capabilities over multiple military tactical and LMR/P25 radios and SATCOM, supporting reach back and combat voice communications over TYPE 1 secure network, including SUITE B-SECURE sharing suite interconnections and radio systems.
The system is TYPE 1 security and IA capable per DoD UCR2008 and NIST FIPS 140-2 compliant with integrated SIP/RTP and AS-SIP/SRTP support.
The RVCS is available in four and eight port options while keeping the same compact footprint.

VOIP/ROIP Terminology
What do they have to do with Radio Over IP systems?
Other questions include what codecs do you support? Do you support MELPe? Speex? But more importantly we need to know why someone might want to use one codec rather than another.
In my next post I'm going to discuss these topics and what they might mean for Radio Over IP solutions for public safety and defense communications.

Upgraded fire control centre launched at Gold Coast Airport
General Manager ARFF Andrew Rushbrook said the fire control project involved the replacement of existing systems with a standardised modern digital system.
"It incorporates the very latest technology integrated communications and incident management resources to give Airservices fire fighters the best tools to manage any incident," Mr Rushbrook said.
It replaces the current patchwork of stand-alone systems with one fully integrated digital system.
By linking airports using IP technology, the new system provides a remote monitoring capability to improve efficiency, safety, and lower training and maintenance costs. The standardised system will also support easier transfer of employees between stations.
