Helping the armed forces in its duty of protecting the nation, Tecore Networks has reportedly announced the evolution of its Military Secured Rapid Deployment System, or MilSec-RDS. The new solution is said to improve the voice and data communications abilities of armed forces.
The armed forces always needs to be a step ahead of the enemies to protect the nation. With the rapid advancement of technologies, terrorists and other kinds of threat groups are fast gaining access to modern technologies and the armed forces cannot afford to lag behind.
MilSec-RDS selectively permits or denies access on a per-device basis with its Intelligent Network Access Controller. The solution also provides 3G Radio Network Controller integrated into the core, which further streamlines the system. The solution prepares the armed forces to adapt the next generation communication devices with the ability to upgrade to the 4G standard of Long-Term Evolution.
“Our armed forces face continually evolving threats around the globe, and need communications technology which is also capable of evolving," said Bruce Portell, chief operating officer, Tecore (News - Alert) Networks, in a statement. "Tecore's 18-year history of innovation in the major wireless technologies, coupled with our track record of serving government clients, ensures that our troops have state-of-the-art means of communicating in the most challenging situations.”
Offering features to satisfy military requirements, MilSec-RDS is a complete, transportable network fully compliant with major wireless standards such as GSM, CDMA and UMTS. The system enables Type 1-4 encrypted calls, as well as Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption (MLPP). It also lets the armed forces control wireless communications in the surrounding area, whether on commercial or private networks. In addition, it has the capacity to bar unwanted and potentially dangerous devices from service.
Recently, the company announced the evolution of iCore;, its all-IP multi-technology core network, with the integration of a 3G Radio Network Controller. Together with the iCore UMTS Mobile Switching Center and Home Subscriber Server, the RNC enhances support for 3G services and further streamlines the smallest multi-technology network-in-a-box in the industry. It also supports multi-vendor radio access networks from one core network.
