net.com announced today that the United States Department of Defense has selected net.com's SHOUTIP secure voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) solution to provide secure and un-secure voice calls between coalition sites as part of the Kuwait-Iraq Command, Control, Communications and Computers Commercialization (KICC) program.
The KICC program has requirements that make the SHOUTIP platform ideal for deployment. Remote sites are linked via satellite where bandwidth is at a premium. SHOUTIP's advanced call-packing technology, combined with its secure call relay technology, offers tremendous bandwidth savings compared with competitive secure voice over IP implementations.
SHOUTIP can provide a 70% bandwidth savings when transporting a 9.6 kilobit per second secure voice call over an IP network compared with non-relay based implementations.
SHOUTIP with secure voice relay offers support for secure telephone units (STU) as well as future narrow-band data terminal (FNBDT) technology. SHOUTIP works with many different types of secure voice technology and has proven interoperability with a wide variety of secure telephone devices, including models from Motorola, L3 and General Dynamics.
"We are very pleased to participate in this key communications program," said John Winters, vice president of Federal Sales with net.com. "SHOUTIP is the ideal platform for complex VoIP networks where bandwidth is at a premium, where support for STU and FNBDT is required, and interoperability is critical."
