IDNX/Promina Multiplexer
The IDNX/Promina multiplexer is a multiservice access platform that serves as the focal
point for Signal unit architectures. User-side service modules interface to
computers, telephones, telephone exchanges, LAN equipment, videoteleconferencing (VTC),
and other user-side equipment. The IDNX/Promina node aggregates the user traffic
onto trunk lines for transmission via satellite, copper or fiber cabling, or
other means.
IIUSA offers customized Promina training covering
multiplexers and supporting equipment. Top of Page |

TSSR Tropo-Satellite Support Radio (TSSR) spans distances up to 10 miles, and is
generally used instead of more costly assets (such as TROPO),
or to replace copper or fiber cables over difficult terrain or obstacles,
such as runways. Top of Page |

NRZ-To-CDI Conversion
The CTM 100/C is a two (2) port device meaning that one port could be configured to support an MD 1272/G link while the remaining port could be configured to support one of the other many types of connections supported by the CTM100/C. For example, the other port could support one of the following simultaneously: 1) a legacy CDI/NRZ conversion, 2) a CDI/NRZ to CV8448 conversion, 3) a THSDN link, or 4) to multiplex two CDI/NRZ lines onto one CDI or NRZ or fiber link.

Cisco VOIP / CallManager
Cisco Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) supports end-to-end digitized voice communication.
Cisco VOIP interoperates with legacy plain old telephone
service (POTS) and tactical switches utilizing components such as
voice gateways, private branch exchanges (PBXs), Cisco routers and switches,
and the Cisco CallManager.
