Omni-COM for Defense, Military ATC and Public Safety communication
As mentioned in section “Market-challenges”, current communication switches in market has evolved over 10 + years. When at origin, the architecture made use of centralized DSP’s and catered typical client server architecture. The cards to interfaces to analog radios, digital connectivity’s and IP pipes were hosted on a proprietary or CPCI based chassis. To handle the data flow between the cards, a mother board was included along with power supplies, fans etc. The chassis via Ethernet switch allowed data to be accessed by operator positions.
The drawbacks with the mentioned architecture are numerous
- redundancy in all levels (cards, chassis, dual simultaneous ethernet connections, NIC, operator position, etc.) is complex and at times un-attainable
- scalability and expandability are limited (since based on hardware)
- centralized mixing to cater large number of operator positions results in performance issues (PTT timing for radios, number of conferences with sub-conferences, etc)
- form factor with radiations and power needs (as inherent in as in any hardware based solutions)
- higher cost (for both capital and logistics)
Omniglobe’s Omni-COM is designed ground up to address specific market areas. The architecture is based on distributed model and performs all needed tasks in software and avoids any use of hardware. The interfaces are directly plugged into an operator position. Every operator position performs its own mixing and processing. By distributing the load, the performance is greatly enhanced. Also with distributed architecture
- redundancy at all levels is achieved
- scalability and expandability are greatly enhanced
- PTT timing for 100 operator position is virtually the same as one operator position
- No form factor with no radiation or extra power needs
- Lower cost (for both capital and logistics)
