Radio Interface Board (RIB) (700-16-03)

Optional interface board for up to eight full duplex and/or half duplex radios from a wide range of manufacturers.

Details

  • Radio-over-IP and analog interfacing solution
  • Provides standard interface for up to 8 radios on each RIB
  • Up to four Radio Interface Boards per MIU
  • Port-specific input and output level adjustments
  • Audio buffering when connecting to higher power transmitters
  • Provides independent Push-To-Talk (PTT) and Carrier Operated Relay (COR) signaling for each port
  • Control signaling actuated by any local or remote Mercury operator connected over any IP network
  • RJ45 connectors for simple cable construction
