SIP Technology

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), is a signaling protocol used to create, manage and terminate sessions in an IP-based network. A session could be a simple two-party call or a multimedia conference. SIP focuses on the setup, modification and termination of these sessions, allowing versatility of the format and content of the data being shared.

SIP is widely seen as the preferred pathway to achieving the main goals of modern communications system design. These include the convergence of voice, data and video; standards-based open protocols; and individual IP addresses for all end devices.

ACU-2000 IP
Like the ACU-1000, the ACU-2000 IP is modular, completely scalable and field configurable to meet your needs as a customer. It builds on the ACU-1000's ability to link disparate communications systems which can be connected, monitored and controlled over an IP network. The additional SIP capabilities in the ACU-2000 IP allow your SIP-based systems or individual SIP endpoint, such as SIP phones or softphones, to be included in interoperable conferences.

ARA-1
The ARA-1 is a radio-to-SIP interface which allows a radio to operate on a SIP network. This brings to existing SIP networks all of the features inherent to a radio system and to radio systems all of the features available with SIP. With this new technology, for example, an LMR system can be used to extend the SIP network into areas of rugged terrain, across bodies of water or into tunnels. Also, the ARA-1 can be used to create interoperability among disparate radio systems as easily as creating a typical PBX conference call.
