Regardless of the military mission, REDCOM’s portfolio of JITC-tested and certified switching equipment delivers highly secure, interoperable, rugged and reliable VoIP solutions for tactical and strategic applications. Whether warfighters need the transportability and small footprint of REDCOM’s SLICE® IP Micro and the SLICE® 2100 for tactical communications deployments, or the scalable and stackable HDX•C “building block” approach for reach back support in the field, REDCOM has the secure, tactical, and strategic solution platforms to meet the Department of Defense’s requirements. REDCOM enables secure and interoperable warfighter communications with TRANSip®, the breakthrough technology that delivers secure tactical and strategic integrated VoIP for Joint, NATO, and Coalition Forces.
REDCOM is a key partner with DISA in implementing the Assured Services Session Initiation Protocol (AS-SIP), as defined by the Unified Capabilities Requirements (UCR) technical standards for telecommunication switching equipment. AS-SIP is a defined set of SIP signaling standards incorporating DoD Assured Service functionality, including MLPP (Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption) for establishing communication with resource priorities, ensuring system and network access and control, and providing precedence and preemption policies to assure connectivity for command and control. This essential element of command and control ensures that the most important calls get through and are able to “tandem” and deliver priority calls for end-to-end warfighter communications.
Local Session Controllers (LSC) are responsible for protocol conversion from line-side analog, digital, and IP to trunk-side AS-SIP. Over the years, REDCOM has demonstrated true communications interoperability using published telephony standards. The technologies integrated into REDCOM’s converged network will include but not be limited to: IPv6/IPv4 dual stack REDCOM switches, secure and non-secure IP and analog end devices to include wired, wireless, ISDN, radios, a deployed secure gateway application, AS-SIP trunking, SIP trunking, and IP circuit extension. MLPP ensures that the most important calls get through during crisis situations and it is an essential element of command and control. REDCOM’s HDX•C, SLICE® 2100™ and SLICE® IP Micro switches are converged network solutions that also support AS-SIP signaling requirements for Local Session Controllers (LSC). In addition, the LSC is responsible for enforcing AS-SIP trunk policies, such as Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption (MLPP), for calls made from SIP phones. MLPP ensures that the most important calls get through during crisis situations and it is an essential element of command and control.
