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.
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.
VIDL is portable command and control system that provides an Iridium satellite data link for voice and data communications for users in their network.
The VIDL operates as Push to Talk (PPT) with a handset like common tactical radios and allows users to maintain situation awareness through text messaging, map icons and event reporting with the intuitive on-screen operations management application.
VIDL is an affordable and simple to use solution with a very accessible satellite link for voice and data communications and is suitable for Public Safety, Emergency First Responders or any organization requiring no fail real time situational awareness.
