Exelis C4i SwitchplusIP Release 12.0

Exelis C4i has announced the latest software release for its communications product SwitchplusIP, with features including an Advanced Instant Replay capability.

The Advanced Instant Replay feature provides operators with a comprehensive activity register delivering a quickly searchable index of all audio activity both incoming and outgoing at each operator position. The register includes all audio and telephony events occurring at each operator position with up to an hour of audio included with each event, providing up to 1000 h of the most recent audio activity at that position. Easy-to-use filters enable operators to quickly sort the register based on a range of criteria including type of call (radio or telephony), channel, talkgroup or incoming telephone number.

Rather than provide a continuous recording for each channel, every event is recorded separately, allowing the operator to quickly isolate and play back individual audio sources, ensuring that important conversations are never missed in emergency situations even when multiple transmissions are received simultaneously.

Release 12.0 includes further improvements to the multisite capability with enhancements to remote control of multichannel radios connected to other sites. This significantly enhances the system’s disaster recovery support for remote locations. Also included are improvements in radio paging capacity for legacy radio networks, more flexible system deployment with improvements to support for custom IP plans and support for new hardware platforms and operating systems.
