Information is generated in many forms, which can include audio (voice), video, and various types of digital data. In its raw form these various types of information are incompatible and difficult to transport and share. To be networked, information must be in the correct form – that is Internet Protocol (IP). IP information can be easily transferred, switched, and used by applications. The main benefits of using networked IP information are; sharing of assets from any remote location, and having information in a standard format making application development easier. These benefits can result in huge cost-savings and allow operational and mission achievements that were not possible before.

Everything Over IP

Parraid bridges data sources to networks using its Network Radio Gateway (NRG) and CloudNode products. These devices implement hardware and software to turn any available data sources into network-ready information. This can be termed Everything over IP (EoIP). Examples include; Voice over IP (VoIP) where a voice source, such as a tactical radio is digitized, processed, packetized, and routed into a network. Learn more about our leading-edge EoIP technology and product solutions that can generate networked information for any source of critical data communications to assure your mission success.
