REDCOM Completes SIP Interoperability Testing with Harris Falcon

By Stefanie Mosca, TMCnet Web Editor

REDCOM Laboratories Inc., manufacturer of digital and IP-enabled telecommunications systems, has announced that it has successfully completed Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) interoperability testing for REDCOM’s (News - Alert) SLICE® and SLICE® 2100™ switches with AN/PRC-117G Radios from Harris RF Communications.

The interoperability application interconnects REDCOM’s SLICE and SLICE 2100 systems using a REDCOM AS-SIP/UC IP Trunk and Harris Falcon III AN/PRC-117G Radios. REDCOM successfully provided SIP interoperability testing in its company lab which confirmed 100 percent integration and functionality between the Harris AN/PRC-117G Radios and REDCOM’s SLICE and SLICE 2100 SIP call control platforms.

The interoperability provides warfighters with a wide variety of new applications. Warfighters working at a Forward Operations Base (FOB) can now be supported with a wide range of communications services.

“SIP is supposed to be a standard that eliminates many of the challenges with integrating systems from different vendors, but interoperability is not something that can be assumed or taken for granted,” said Dinah Gueldenpfennig Weisberg, VP of planning and government program administration at REDCOM.

This application can provide the primary or the secondary communications link into and out of a FOB. Single Stage Dialing gives the warfighters using an Edge (SME-PED) or a Secure GSM Handset at a forward location easy access to persons or groups located within a Secure VoIP Network for direct support of their mission. A Combat Commander can now use one secure device, with MLPP, to contact and speak with anyone needed to support the combat mission.

REDCOM enables secure and interoperable warfighter communications with TRANSip®, the breakthrough technology that delivers secure tactical and strategic VoIP for Joint, NATO, and Coalition Forces.  REDCOM’s TRANSip technology suite converges a broad range of technologies for maximum interoperability, so warfighters can be confident that REDCOM systems will operate in a any environment.
