Military, Aerospace & Government - ARCHIVE

Clear-Com intercom systems provide solutions for almost any communications need in the Military, Aerospace and Government world. The system is a specifically-configured communications solution intended to connect individuals who are working on the same project at the same time. As opposed to the classic telephone system, a Clear-Com system can provide a secure, highly reliable, low latent path which allows communication between two or hundreds of people simultaneously.

Product Description Left

Description

The E-IPA-HX is a high density IP interface card that supports up to 64 Clear-Com intercom devices. The interface card can be used with the Eclipse HX-Delta Lite, HX-Delta, HX-Median, and HX-Omega matrix frames. Eclipse HX Configuration Software (EHX™) configures each port for its intended application and provides a dedicated IP Manager screen to monitor connections and add users. The E-IPA-HX card also supports SMPTE ST2110 and AES67 connectivity.

 

Connection to FreeSpeak Icon, FreeSpeak II and FreeSpeak Edge Beltpacks

The E-IPA-HX card connects to FreeSpeak II® (1.9 or 2.4) and FreeSpeak Icon Beltpacks via fiber to the FSII-SPL for use with E1 FSII-TCVR-24 or FSII-TCVR-19-XX transceivers. Utilizing two Splitters will allow up to 50 beltpacks and 10 transceivers per card. The E-IPA-HX card also connects FreeSpeak II, Edge™, or Icon devices via AES67 protocol to Eclipse HX frames. A single E-IPA card can connect up to 64 FSII-TCVR-IP-19 or FSE-TCVR-50-IP transceivers in any combination via a network switch, supporting up to 64 FreeSpeak II, Edge or Icon
beltpacks. Each FreeSpeak beltpack uses one card port and each IP transceiver supports a maximum of 10 beltpacks. Multiple E-IPA-HX cards can support larger wireless systems (please see Eclipse HX user manual for supported configurations). The E1 Mode connectivity is a complete card mode switch available on E-IPA with 32 or more ports licensed.

 

Connection to V-Series and V-Series Iris Panels

All V-Series user keypanels can connect to an Eclipse HX host matrix by means of either an Ethernet connection or an analog-based connection. With the E-IPA-HX card, V-Series Iris™ panels can be configured to connect using a low latency Audio-over-IP AES67 audio channel or the I.V. Core® G.722 voice codec. Ethernet connectivity allows a diverse range infrastructure to be used, including local LANs/VLANs, microwave links or cellular networks. In each case, connection parameters can be optimized for the selected network type. When connecting V-Series and V-Series Iris panels using the E-IPA-HX, one can optionally route two additional auxiliary audio channels to and from the matrix. This configuration transforms a panel into a combined intercom panel/audio distribution node.

 

Connection to Agent-IC Virtual Mobile Clients

The E-IPA-HX card supports licensed connection of up to 64 smartphone or tablets running the Agent-IC® Virtual Mobile Client. Audio is encrypted to AES128 and silence suppression is an available option to reduce data usage. Agent-IC clients are typically connected over Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G or LTE networks.

 

Connection to Station-IC Virtual Desktop Client

The E-IPA-HX card supports connection of up to 64 PC or MAC running the Station-IC™ application (licensed at the client or in an Eclipse 13+). The audio has AES128 encryption, Station-IC applications typically connect over Wi-Fi, wired and cellular networks.

Product Description Right

Connection to LQ Series

The E-IPA-HX card connects to LQ® IP interfaces for supporting communications with 2-wire, 4-wire, two-way radios, and non-Clear-Com intercom systems. An E-IPA-HX connection to one or more LQ devices may be used to implement IP connections from remote production sites. LQ can also provide SIP IP telephony interfacing for Eclipse HX systems with Dynam-EC™ for lines management.

 

Connection to Third-party AoIP Equipment 

Ports on E-IPA-HX cards may also be configured to connect to incoming or outgoing SMPTE ST2110 or AES67 audio streams. SAP (Session Announcement Protocol) is used to advertise configured AoIP streams and detect streams available on the network. SDP (Session Description Protocol) information is exchanged either by file exchange (import/export) or with the SAP announcements.

 

Connection to SIP Devices

Eclipse-HX frames with E-IPA-HX cards provide up to 64 ports of SIP connection capability to a SIP-based system. A third-party SIP server with an IP PBX then provides the pathway between a Clear-Com system from the PSTN. SIP allows callers from VoIP phones, cell phones and even POTS lines to call into a Clear-Com intercom system and be routed to a team member on any panel, beltpack, speaker station or virtual application. At the same time, Clear-Com devices can be configured to make calls to phones outside the system.
