The GRIP Radio-IP Gateway provides to the radio users the ability to establish calls from the tactical network radio terminals to standard IP phones; symmetrically, the IP phones users can establish calls to the tactical network radio net. Call status information is available by voice prompts. The equipment allows the integration of VoIP network communications with up to four radio networks. Each radio user can select one free channel to setup a call or the channel defined for call reception (the calls have no privacy). The system is compatible with DTMF dialling capable radios and radios without this feature; in this last case the calls are directed to a predefined operator phone. The radio PTT is controlled by voice detection activity or by DTMF dialling from the IP phone. Call release can be selected by the radio user or by the IP phone user; it will be also activated when an inactivity timeout expires; this timeout can be extended by both call partners. The system uses H.323 protocol and is interoperable with SIP phones using a H.323 Gatekeeper with an embedded SIP Proxy. The GRIP software runs on the same hardware as the Digital Intercom system , in standalone mode (IC-201G) or even concurrently with the intercom functionality, as an optional software package. |
