ORIONIP Integrated Communications System

A shared IP infrastructure for crew, operators and communications devices.

ORION focuses on bringing in-vehicle intercom, operator stations and existing communications devices together on the same voice infrastructure. User roles, radio access and platform connections are arranged according to project requirements. Management and expansion of the system are thus handled through a single integration approach.

WHAT IT DOES

Clear voice in noisy environments,
all radios from a single point.

In a vehicle, several radios, crew stations and personnel outside must all communicate at the same time.

Legacy intercom systems require additional cabling and hardware for every new radio or user, increasing space, weight and power consumption in the vehicle. Personnel who dismount are also often cut off from the intercom.

ORION carries all voice over the IP network. Each crew station reaches the radios and talk groups within its authorization from a single panel; dismounted personnel stay on the network wirelessly.

KEY FEATURES

Six core capabilities
for platform communications.

01

All-IP architecture

Voice, control and management traffic over Ethernet; adding new users and devices becomes easier.

02

Multi-radio access

Listening and talking on several radios from each station; relay between radios (retransmission).

03

Active noise reduction

Digital noise suppression for intelligible voice in environments with high engine and track noise.

04

Role-based authorization

Channel and radio permissions are defined in software by role, such as commander, driver or gunner.

05

Wireless personnel connection

Dismounted personnel join the intercom and radio network wirelessly.

06

Recording and management

Management software for conversation recording, fault detection and system configuration.

PRODUCT FAMILY

Three components,
one voice network.

ORION components are designed to work together; they can also be used separately as needed.

ORION VIC

In-vehicle IP intercom

In-vehicle voice communications with crew stations, headsets and push-to-talk (PTT) units.

  • Crew station units
  • Central IP voice switch
  • Headset and PTT interfaces
  • All-station general call

ORION AIR

Wireless personnel communications

A wireless connection for personnel outside the vehicle or moving freely inside it, with access to the intercom and radios.

  • Wireless base unit
  • Personnel belt unit
  • Encrypted wireless link
  • Communications with dismounted personnel

ORION LINK

Radio and system integration

A gateway that connects radios of different brands and types, intercoms and operator consoles to the IP network.

  • SIP/VoIP gateway
  • Operator console software
  • Shipboard and ship-to-ship voice switching
USE CASES

Where ORION
is used

Armored and tactical land vehicles

Coordination within the crew and use of several radios from a single panel.

Command vehicles

Dismounted teams

Personnel leaving the vehicle stay connected to its intercom and radios.

Naval platforms

Shipboard and ship-to-ship voice communications between the bridge, operations center and damage control teams.

TECHNICAL APPROACH

Technical scope and integration.

Hardware selection, functions and integration scope are determined by the operating environment. Let’s evaluate the right configuration for your project together.

ArchitectureGigabit Ethernet backbone, IP/SIP-based voice, modular star topology.
Open standardsAlignment with the NATO STANAG 4754 (NGVA) architecture is targeted.
Environmental conditionsDesign using MIL-STD-810 (environmental), MIL-STD-461 (electromagnetic compatibility) and MIL-STD-1275 (28 V vehicle power) as references.
Protection classIP65/IP67 target for crew units.
Radio integrationInterfaces with analog and digital radios, remote radio access via RoIP.
ManagementTool for role and channel configuration, recording, fault diagnosis and software updates.
