  • Patent number: 11882418
    Abstract: Embodiments of an audio distribution module and system provide a compact and rugged audio switching device including a radio control unit in communication with an operator control panel. In various embodiments, an audio switching fabric is included with audio relays for directing the transmission and receipt of audio content between a headset in communication with the operator control panel and one or more radios in communication with the radio control unit, facilitating transmission and receipt of audio communications between the radio(s) and the headset.

  • Publication number: 20160248736
    Abstract: Sensitive, Type 1 KIV-encrypted data is encapsulated into IP packets in a remotely deployed, secure communication system. The IP packets are addressed to a matching IP encapsulator/decapsulator device over the public Internet or other IP protocol network, that then passes it to a similar Type 1 KIV device for decryption. Thus, sensitive, encrypted data is made to appear as if it were any other commercial network data, cloaking it in the vast and busy world of the Internet. The present invention is embodied in a system that provides secure Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, to a remote user. Most importantly, the embodiment allows for the routing of bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data over a public network, e.g., the Internet.

  • Patent number: 8209750
    Abstract: Separate IP data streams, including both voice (VoIP) and data sources, are routed over a single network data stream, encrypted by a single KIV encryption unit, and transmitted as a single packet data stream including both computer and voice data. Integration of the use of a VoIP data stream, together with data sources, and encrypted through a single serial encryption unit such as a KIV-7 enables the encryption of both voice and data using a single KIV encryption unit. After encryption by the Type 1 encryption unit (e.g., KIV-7) in a remotely deployed, secure communication system, the single encrypted data stream is encapsulated into IP packets. The IP packets are addressed to a distant IP device that removes the encapsulated, encrypted data and passes it to a similar Type 1 KIV device for decryption, and distributed to voice devices and computer devices via another voice-enabled router.

  • Publication number: 20120102320
    Abstract: A secure Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, for a remote user. While capable of secure communications, the disclosed system also provides communication capability (VOIP, video and/or data) in a non-secure manner if desired. Most importantly, bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data may be routed over a public network, e.g., the Internet.

  • Publication number: 20070177578
    Abstract: A deployable secure cellular communication system comprises an encryption device, an Internet Protocol (IP) encapsulator to encapsulate an output of the encryption device within IP packets, and a network interface to allow transport of the IP packets to a public IP network. The encryption device may be an STE device, the output of which is encapsulated into IP packets addressed to a matching IP encapsulator/decapsulator device over a public IP network, that then passes to a similar STE or other encryption device for decryption. Secure Voice-Over-IP (VoIP), video and data network functionality in a single, small size deployable case, to a remote user. Most importantly, bulk encrypted (i.e., secure) data is communicated over a public IP network.
