ASCOM TACTICAL openACCESS NODE R

MOBILE VOICE AND DATA SWITCH FOR
RADIO INTEGRATION

Ascom openAccess Nodes are integrated

voice and data switches that provide the

essential foundation for today’s mission critical

communications infrastructures. They are used

by national and international military forces,

peace keeping troops and crisis management

teams.

Ascom openAccess Nodes’ connectivity and

operational features provide secure and

scaleable functionality for voice, data and

imagery applications demanded in the combat

arena and homeland security relations.

Built on proven hardware and software

technology, Ascom compact network nodes are

compliant with global industry and governmen-

tal standards for vehicle and military grade

electronics.

In alignment with NATO TACOMS Post 2000 architecture, Ascom

Tactical openAccess Node R serves the role as voice and data radio access

point in mobile area sub-systems. Over legacy radio networks, it provides

interoperable communication access between field devices and separated

ad-hoc mobile headquarters. In mission critical operations this vital com-

munication link assures information flow at all levels from command head-

quarters to the troops.

Even with bandwidth limitations and restricted channel availability,

Ascom Tactical openAccess Node R truly extends the range of the core IP

network. It links into virtual LANs using tactical radio channels; but is also

equipped with multiple interfaces that allow LOS (Line-of-sight), meshed

WLAN and universal Ethernet connections. This capability allows fixed line

communication equipment and field radio devices to exchange information

that contribute to situational awareness and operational effectiveness.

Ascom Tactical openAccess Node R is highly reliable and adaptable to

a wide variety of extreme ad-hoc deployments. The watertight ultra rugged

enclosure is hermetically sealed to withstand severe humidity and dust

exposure as well as extreme temperatures. Its form-factor is optimally de-

signed for space/weight-constrained military vehicles and ground mobile

deployments. It is corrosion resistant; shock/vibration protected and can

be easily mounted in existing PR4G amplifier racks.
