| What
it does.
The VTU Deployable acts as the initial local area network
backbone and voice server in an emergency situation and, because
it is provided with access to wide area connectivity via a
satellite uplink, it serves as a fully functional reach-back
node to an HQ facility. The VTU Deployable provides out-of-the-box
communications needs from geographic areas that have been
devastated by emergencies, whether natural or human, or to
back up a business in the event of catastrophic network failure.
The basic platform provides secure hardwired IP (Internet
Protocol) phones deployed at the EDU, secure wireless softphones
for mobilization of emergency response team members, and secure
IP trunks for utilization of the customers' wide area connectivity
via Satellite RF or other land-based connectivity. |

How it works.
VTU Deployable is deployed with the technical team to the
site. The IP-sat uplink or any other protocol which is required
is established thus providing direct communications to headquarters.
It then uses two IP hardwired phones to establish a remote
operations base, while agents using IP Softphones on their
laptops can be deployed in the field with fully secure wireless
voice and data communications connectivity. Within this solution,
organizations enjoy a wealth of functionality, including voice
mail, call forwarding, and conference calling.

Benefits of the technology
The VTU Deployable basic platform offers enormous scalability. Therefore,
VTU Deployable communication solutions can be tailored (adapted/scaled)
to meet specific local and wide area communication infrastructure
requirements. They are designed to connect to commercial or military
communication networks with a wide range of interfaces and data
rates. The VTU Deployable can be tailored to provide any traditional
data transport that may be desired. Where end-to-end quality of
service is required for time-critical applications (such as voice,
video and transactional applications), bandwidth can be dynamically
allocated across the wide area using satellite uplink or traditional
ground-based transport via IP, T1/E1, analog, digital, Frame Relay
or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) via the VTU WAN Access.
