Wide Area Interoperability System
The Wide Area Interoperability System (WAIS) takes advantage of Voice over IP (VoIP) to connect dispersed communications efforts via an existing infrastructure, such as a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) or the Internet, itself. By connecting interoperability systems to a LAN/WAN, radio communications can be extended over a wide geographic area while using existing radios and frequencies of all public safety organizations involved, including virtually any combination of local, state and national agencies.
From any point on a network, a user may configure, control and monitor any interconnected, on-site interoperability systems. Current solutions include numerous ways to view systems in the network, including individual (local) views, or as one seamless group. Where the radio resources are located is immaterial. Users can simply click on separate radio systems on a monitor to connect them for direct and efficient communications. In any public safety scenario, the built-in redundancy established via remote or shared control of communication interoperability is a critical benefit.

NXU-2A "VoIP Technology"
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which is a means of digitizing voice signals and sending them over a digital network. The digital network can be a LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), or the Internet itself. The NXU-2 embodies this VoIP technology in a way that enables communications radios to be interconnected across the room or around the world. The NXU-2A is the latest module offering for the NXU-2 Network eXtension Unit, offering several new features.
PCNXU is a PC implementation of the NXU-2 and allows a computer equipped with a sound card and Ethernet connection to communicate with an NXU-2. Audio may be sent and received, and the PTT line on the remote device may be controlled.
SIP Technology
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), is a signaling protocol used to create, manage and terminate sessions in an IP-based network. A session could be a simple two-party call or a multimedia conference. SIP focuses on the setup, modification and termination of these sessions, allowing versatility of the format and content of the data being shared.
SIP is widely seen as the preferred pathway to achieving the main goals of modern communications system design. These include the convergence of voice, data and video; standards-based open protocols; and individual IP addresses for all end devices.
ACU-2000 IP
Like the ACU-1000, the ACU-2000 IP is modular, completely scalable and field configurable to meet your needs as a customer. It builds on the ACU-1000's ability to link disparate communications systems which can be connected, monitored and controlled over an IP network. The additional SIP capabilities in the ACU-2000 IP allow your SIP-based systems or individual SIP endpoint, such as SIP phones or softphones, to be included in interoperable conferences.
ACU-2000 IP Benefits/Features:
* Connects SIP VoIP devices to radios.
* Two-way radio users have access to features that have traditionally been available only to telephone users, including the ability to directly call telephone extensions, call forwarding, call logging and call recording.

ARA-1 "SIP Technology"
Raytheon’s JPS Communications introduces its new Analog Radio Adapter, the ARA-1. Comparable to an analog telephone adapter (ATA), which allows a standard telephone to operate on a session initiation protocol (SIP) network; the ARA-1 provides the same functionality to radios.
“The ARA-1 is a perfect marriage between land mobile radios and IP-based networks," states Mike Cox, vice president of engineering for JPS Communications. "It combines a supremely capable radio interface to the standards-based open SIP protocol that is rapidly becoming the acknowledged pathway to the convergence of voice, data and video."
ARA-1 Case Study
Alberta’s Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) has improved its emergency communications at its new Grande Prairie base by deploying Raytheon JPS Communications’ new ARA-1. Using the ARA-1, an interoperability device that provides an interface between a radio and an IP-based network using SIP, STARS communications specialists can now communicate in a more timely and efficient manner.
Need to communicate where your SIP telephone can't?
The addition of radio interface capability using the ARA-1 not only brings existing radio networks into the SIP arena but also allows SIP-based communications to be extended into areas that are not serviced or cannot be reached using a SIP network. For example, an ARA-1 can be used with an LMR system to extend the SIP network into areas of rugged terrain, across bodies of water, or into tunnels.
Need IP-addressable radios?
With the ARA-1, IP-addressable radio interoperability is now available in the SIP environment. The ARA-1 provides to radio networks all of the features available with SIP. These include interoperable communications among disparate radio systems that is as easy as creating a typical PBX conference call and other PBX features such as Call Logging, Call Forwarding, and Call Recording.
The radio side of the interfaces makes full use of the broad suite of digital signal processor algorithms, hundreds of interface cables and numerous problem solving techniques that JPS has evolved during more than a decade as the market leader in radio interoperability.
SIP & Mobility: Bringing Radio into the 21st Century
The adoption of SIP in the mainstream telephony world has numerous and proven benefits: open standards, a rich feature set, and readily available equipment from multiple vendors. Now SIP brings all of these benefits to land mobile radio (LMR) users plus entirely new interfacing and interoperability options. This article explores how to interface radio equipment with SIP infrastructure and explains the features radio users can expect to enjoy.
Why SIP?
The main goals of modern communications system design include: convergence of voice, data and video; standards-based open protocols; and individual IP addresses for all end-devices. SIP is widely seen as the preferred pathway to achieving them.
ARA-1 Benefits/Features:
* Radio-to-SIP interfaces brings radio to SIP networks or SIP to radio networks.
* Interoperability is as simple as creating a conference call within a SIP PBX.
* Brings SIP PBX features into a radio arena - including call logging, forwarding and recording.
* Extends SIP-based communications to rugged terrain areas.
* Enables communications between radios and network communications devices such as SIP phones and softphones.
* Applicable to a wide range of network topologies.

P25CC "CHANNEL CONTROLLER"
Raytheon’s JPS Communications introduces its new P25 Channel Controller, the P25CC. The P25CC converts legacy analog channels to Project 25 (P25) digital channels at an affordable cost, without requiring a replacement of your existing base stations.
“The P25CC can be incorporated into a communication system, channel-by-channel as time and funding permit, easing the transition to the P25 standard requirements,” said Steve Rahn, sales director for Raytheon JPS Communications in North America. “It’s a simple and affordable way to gain the advanced features and benefits of a P25 radio system.”
What is the P25CC?
Simply stated, the P25CC converts your legacy analog channels to P25 functionality. The P25CC offers all mandatory P25 call types and provides a full suite of features for conventional as well as single site or multi-site trunking systems.
How is this conversion accomplished?
The conversion to P25 functionality is accomplished through a sophisticated manipulation of the baseband audio which leaves existing RF infrastructure in place. Digital data transmissions from P25 mobile and handheld units are received by an existing analog base station, whose baseband audio is passed on to the P25CC. This audio is processed by Etherstack's Interoperable P25 Base Station Protocol Stack software which then deciphers the digital data and sends P25-modulated baseband audio to the analog base station for transmission to the field units. In accordance with the P25 standard, compatibility with existing analog radios is maintained.
How can this conversion be implemented?
The P25CC is designed for easy expansion and a multiple channel analog system conversion that can be phased in one channel at a time. One P25CC unit with a single channel board is required for the first channel. Additional boards are installed in the P25CC chassis thereafter until the four-channel limit is reached. If control of more than four base stations is required, multiple P25CC units can be networked together.
P25CC Benefits/Features:
Converts legacy analog channels to P25 digital signaling without changing base stations.
Combines P25 base station controller, RFSS Network Controller (RNC) and Network Location Register (NLR) functions.
Provides full trunked and conventional RFSS operations
Offers all mandatory P25 call types.
A much lower cost approach than installing a new P25 digital base stations.
Conversion of multiple-channel systems can be phased in as time and funding allows.

PPS-100 "Pre/Postselector"
The PPS-100 Pre/Postselector permits operation of co-located receivers and transmitters on frequencies separated by as little as 10%. When used with receivers, the unit functions as a preselector, providing an additional front end selectivity stage. This reduces the receiver desensitization and overload that would normally occur in the presence of strong adjacent RF transmissions. The unit is used as a postselector with transmitters. It rejects spurious outputs and broadband noise in the transmit signal before it reaches the power amplifier, thereby limiting interference to neighboring receivers. The PPS-100 performs both functions with a transceiver; it follows the radio’s key line and switches between the preselector and postselector modes.

TRP-1000 "Transportable Radio Interconnect"
"This system is one of the most thoroughly tested of the 'new' generation of interoperable systems." NTIA-ITS
The TRP-1000 Transportable Radio Interconnect System provides radio interoperability during missions requiring communications between diverse organizations using different radios and different frequencies. The system package consists of one or more transportable cases and includes multiple radios pre-wired to JPS Communications' ACU-1000 Intelligent Interconnect Unit. The radios, which cover all frequency bands can be cross-connected through the ACU-1000.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
NRU-600 "DSP Noise Reduction Unit"
The NRU-600 is an advanced audio signal processor that provides maximum flexibility to eliminate or reduce most types of interference from voice, CW and data transmissions. The unit uses a high speed Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to provide simultaneous bandpass filtering, noise reduction and multiple tone/heterodyne removal. An automatic Notch filter removes multiple heterodynes from tune-ups, adjacent channel carriers, CW, RTTY, or similar signals without interfering with voice signals when a voice bandwidth has been selected. The notch filter operates in 5 milliseconds or less. Two noise reduction algorithms are provided in the NRU-600: an FD (Frequency Domain) algorithm and a TD (Time Domain) algorithm; to give the operator the best audio noise reduction possible.
