The ORC100 is a compact industrial communications appliance used for connecting conventional VHF/UHF radio networks to an IP network. Using sophisticated signal processing techniques, the device digitises voice band audio from a connected radio transceiver and exchanges it with a network dispatch centre (e.g. Crosswire), VoIP communication terminal, or other RoIP appliance.
Its small form factor makes it ideal for retrofitting within existing installations and provides a cost effective mechanism for extending your radio network across a large geographic area.
Applications for the ORC100 are varied and extensive, including:
- Replacing expensive leased line and UHF linking equipment with an IP (LAN/WAN/Internet) connection.
- Providing interoperability between incompatable radio networks, either within a single organisation or between multiple organisations.
- Providing IP based access to multiple radio networks/repeaters from a single PC.
Key features of the device include:
- Support for G.711 or G.729 VoIP compression/decompression
- Integrated Selcall encode/decode
- Integrated CTCSS encode/decode
- Integrated RSSI & real-time signal quality (RTA) monitoring
- SNMP support (interrogation and trap origination)
- Integrated web server for remote control and diagnostics
- Local diagnostic capability via extensive front panel LED’s
