Deployable Interoperability

SLICE•C is REDCOM’s self-contained, fully integrated switching system. This highly reliable and versatile system is proven in both strategic and tactical applications with the United States Armed Forces.
 
The system provides 24 analog line circuits, 4 BRI-S line circuits, and 2 digital spans (E1/T1) with integrated modular jacks (RJ-11, RJ-45). SLICE•C supports tandem MLPP capability (including ANSI 619a) and advanced conferencing. Easily transportable, SLICE•C weighs less than 15 pounds (6.5 kg). It is easy to install in standard 19 inch (48 cm) equipment racks, transit cases, or in vehicles.

SLICE•C is a fully integrated and highly interoperable switching system that can be connected to other network elements by E1/T1, using ISDN PRI or in-band register signaling. Fully scalable, several SLICE•C units can be connected to maximize network capabilities.

JITC Certified

SLICE•C is available on the DSN Approved Products List (APL) after rigorous testing and certification by the Defense Information Systems Agency’s Joint Interoperability Testing Command (JITC), and is listed on JITC’s APL in the Deployable Voice Exchange (DVX), Private Branch Exchange (PBX) 1, and PBX2 categories (Release 3.0A R3P0).

Real-world Interoperability

The SLICE•C’s network interfaces, signaling protocols and conversion deliver true, real-world interoperability. SLICE•C’s certification and listing on JITC’s APL offers warfighters a high level of confidence when it comes to the interoperability and information assurance of the SLICE•C for DoD users operating in a joint environment.

Strategic & Tactical Networks

SLICE•C has extensive conferencing capabilities, compact size, and low power consumption. It is an ideal switch platform for emergency response: police, fire, air traffic control, homeland security/terrorist incidents, and natural disasters.
integrated remote

SLICE•C can be connected to REDCOM’s high-density switch, the HDX•C, using ClusterNet™. ClusterNet uses E1/T1 to allow SLICE•C to become a truly integrated “remote” to the HDX•C, providing access to the HDX•C’s larger capacity and hardware options.

Integrated Remote

SLICE can be connected to REDCOM's large high density switch, the HDX•C, using ClusterNet™. ClusterNet over an E1/T1 allows full feature transparency of the Slice with the HDX•C. The Slice becomes a truly integrated "remote" to the HDX•C, benefiting from the HDX•C's larger capacity and flexible hardware options. ClusterNet provides the ability to use an SS7/C7 link terminated on the HDX•C. This provides SS7/C7 to the remote Slice without additional expensive SS7/C7 link costs.
