UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS

Connect different forces and domains for joint operations

mACS is a mission grade interoperability platform that bridges HF/VHF/UHF, TETRA/DMR/LMR, SATCOM, PBX/VoIP and intercom into a single IP fabric. It extends radio networks over IP, centralizes control for fixed and mobile command posts, and scales from single site to multi site/nation wide deployments—preserving current equipment and operating concepts.
Key Points:
  • Unifies any type of communication
  • Scales from small sites to multi-agency networks
  • Remote management of communication assets
  • Built-in redundancy and high availability
KEY BENEFITS

Operational advantages for modern Command & Control

Keep what works (Lower TCO)
Reuse existing radios/PBX while adding IP centric interoperability; avoid forklift upgrades.
Faster, clearer decisions
Single touch screen UI to monitor/talk across multiple nets, phones and groups—reducing hand offs and errors.
Geography agnostic reach
Extend radio traffic across sites and agencies over IP; operators can reach any remote channel from any console.
Scales with your mission
Start at one site and expand to multi site/nation wide with the same architecture, tools and consoles.
Rapid to learn & operate
Intuitive, compact consoles with fast boot and standardized controls for dispatchers and C2 operators.

Significant Operational Advanced Features

mACS GW: Network Centric Gateways

RoIP gateway switches interfacing 2/8/16 analog channels (upgradeable) for 2 way radios, cellular and landlines; 1U 19″ chassis; Ethernet front ports; network bridging between dissimilar networks (e.g., cellular ↔ LMR). Supports remote radio control subject to ICD/protocols.

ACB: Audio Control Box Operator Consoles (6.4″ / 10.1″)

Full duplex VoIP terminals with multi channel monitor/talk, built in speaker, headset/PTT (foot PTT optional), conference modes and intercom; auto discover on the interoperability LAN; fast boot; environmental and EMI/EMC compliance for mission platforms.

mACS PBX: Telephony Subsystem

Bridges IP and analog telephony with radio/intercom, providing extensions for ACBs and access to external PSTN/SIP networks from the same console.

MWS: Maintenance & Configuration Workstation

Central admin for users/roles, channel permissions, topology and asset mapping. Supports online/offline configuration and remote management across the Ethernet/IP domain.

IP Logger: Centralized, Synchronized Recording

Server + debrief client capturing all radio/operator sessions with meta tags and timestamps for synchronized playback, event creation and search—supporting training and incident analysis.

Multi Site Architecture

“Site” and “multi site” concepts allow any operator to access any remote radio across LAN/WAN; 1+1 gateway redundancy; G.711/G.729 codecs for constrained links (e.g., SATCOM) and policy based channel access.

Supported Bearers & Systems

HF/VHF/UHF radios; TETRA/APCO 25/DMR/LMR; GSM/Cellular; SATCOM; PBX/VoIP; PA/Intercom—integrated into a single voice distribution fabric.

Interfaces & Accessories (Selected)

Rugged headsets/PTT; Ex approved intercom terminals (e.g., TFIX 2) for hazardous environments (ATEX/IECEx); long cable/plugbox options (IP66/IP67).

Environmental & Power (Selected ACB Spec)

28 VDC nominal (18–34 VDC); rapid boot; temperature, vibration and crash safety parameters aligned to platform standards per referenced spec.

Operator HMI & Modes

Idle / Listen / Listen and Talk states per channel; role selection at login; group conference; intercom/open mic; radio PTT arbitration; per channel audio controls.
