Highlighted Solutions

Vehicle-based Satellite Communication System

• Opportunity: Global satellite communications system deployed on mobile vehicles needs to be robust, secure and fully operational in 30 minutes.

• Solution: Connect secure voice, video and data traffic from Type 1 encryptors to IP satellite network with Engage IP•Tube RS530 circuit to packet converters. Specialized IP•Tube hardware provided for rigorous environmental and physical conditions.

• Result: Engage was there every step of the way with on-time delivery of specialized features and on-site support as needed; resulting in successful deployment across a fleet of vehicles.

Incorporating Redundancy into Critical Defense System

• Opportunity: Critical defense T1 /E1 communications network needs to remain “on-the-air” even if primary com links are severed.

• Solution: Automatically switch T1 circuits to backup IP satellite network when primary link is faulty using Engage IP•Tube solution with integrated Protector, data compression and echo cancellation.

• Result: PBX, Video, Data, and “Hot” wire traffic converted to IP and transmitted over satellite when primary network failure is detected. All communications continue unaffected by the outage.

Encryption of Sensitive Military T1/E1 Circuits

• Opportunity: Protect sensitive voice, data and video interoffice communications from risk of interception and abuse.

• Solution: Deploy Engage Black-Bond T1/E1 link encryptors at both ends of each circuit to encrypt and decrypt sensitive traffic.

• Result: T1/E1 links secured with powerful AES encryption without introducing excessive delay or impacting link throughput.

What the Defense Industry Says About Us

“The Department of Defense Service Branches are very good, and very thorough when developing standards, and then evaluating equipment and components to those standards. They do multiple vendor comparisons, and pick the very best. Engage’s IP•Tube GT1 was judged to be the best TDM over IP technology for voice transport in this system, and was therefore included in the spec.”
