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.
