Opensky Overview; Internet Protocol (Ip) Network - OpenSky P800 User Manual

OpenSky Overview

M/A-COM's OpenSky is a suite of products
implementing an integrated digital voice and data
system based on the Internet Protocol.
The OpenSky network is digital, but provides
interoperability with analog radios, making it possible
to integrate existing (legacy) equipment alongside the
most sophisticated digital equipment available today.

Internet Protocol (IP) Network

OpenSky's Wireless Private Network is changing the
nature of real-time communications for large fleet
mobile businesses and public safety organizations
alike.
IP Backbone
Using Internet Protocol (IP) as a network backbone for
end-to-end user applications, OpenSky integrates
digital voice and packet data into a single network that
provides significant performance advantages over
yesterday's uneasy alliances of independently-built
radio networks trying unsuccessfully to interact.
Like tuning into a channel in a conventional FM
radio system, logging onto the OpenSky network with
your pre-configured user profile will place you in
contact with the members of a software-defined talk
group consisting of the set of users you customarily
have to contact.
Welcome to the OpenSky Network—CHAPTER 1
If you've been issued a P800 to replace a
conventional analog voice-only radio, you'll
particularly appreciate the integrated voice and
data capabilities of the all-digital OpenSky
Portable equipment.
