Exelis C4i SwitchplusIP communications system

The Exelis C4i SwitchplusIP communications system delivers seamless integration with the latest TETRA infrastructure. It provides control room operators with a new level of situational awareness over their deployed personnel, which greatly improves the safety of workers, increases visibility and adds flexibility for operational customers.

SwitchplusIP provides operators with command, control and communication over both digital and analog radio systems, along with comprehensive telephony services and access to a range of additional features.

Man-down alerts and emergency alarms are fully integrated, and mapping functionality with an innovative communications overlay gives operators pinpoint locations of emergency alerts.

Radios can be mapped and tracked, either as talk groups or individually, and can be followed live on-screen, enabling operators to establish one-on-one direct calls to a subscriber with a single button press. Enhanced radio call features, such as on-hold, transfer, conference and patching to telephony and other radio standards such as P25 and conventional are supported. Increased visibility of assets is achieved through the additional information that can be reported over the air to operators, such as display of the calling party radio ID.

The system provides cost savings to network owners by enabling digital network upgrades to be phased in, as all of the above features are available via a single integrated user interface that provides full access to both the new digital and the legacy analog systems simultaneously.
