Quintron Systems Announces Two Product Developments Based on DICES VoIP

Quintron Systems has announced two additional product development options based on its existing DICES voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) system.

 

The first system incorporates several air traffic control features, including FAA operator screens with most functions operable. Company officials said that NASA Ames Research Center has awarded a contract for this system.

 

The system supports the Ames Airspace Operations Laboratory (AOL (News - Alert)) that provides simulation environments for air traffic control operating systems and procedures.

 

In October, 2008, the company delivered this system in the initial form. Company officials said that further software enhancements will be incorporated through early 2009.

 

The second system uses a simplified DICES VoIP server connected to ring-down phones at numerous locations around a field for access to report during emergency.

 

This system has been delivered to the Air National Guard in Tucson, Arizona. It’ll be used for Emergency Alert notification at the airfield operations. Officials said that two central operator positions will include LCD units with activity status display for all phones.

 

Officials said that the features and capabilities provided by this system meet operating requirements of Air Force Instruction 13-213 that are applicable at all military air field operations around the world.

 

This new system is expected to be installed this month.

 

Quintron provides high technology solutions to government and industry in support of mission critical communications and security requirements for command and control applications.

 

The company’s voice communications system, DICES VoIP, is a redundant Ethernet architecture that integrates traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) and VoIP applications in one communications platform.

 

DICES VoIP features industry-standard servers for IP audio summation and distribution and for T1 Gateway (News - Alert); 200 user clients supported with standard Xeon server; full-featured system admin from Java client GUI; legacy analog audio fully integrated with T1 Gateway; more

 

 

In July 2008, the company delivered a significant upgrade to the NASA Marshall Space Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama. The system support remote voice connections to researchers and scientists via the Internet and allow them to discuss their projects with NASA personnel, including astronauts on the Space Station.
