Military Secured Rapid Deployment System
Extending the Government Communications Network into the Mobile Environment
FREE White Paper
Tecore’s Military Secured Rapid Deployment System (MilSec-RDS) is a custom built solution
for government and military that implements the features and interfaces required to extend
existing communications infrastructure over GSM / CDMA / UMTS technology. The system is
scalable and supports both standalone as well as integrated operations making it ideal for
everything from embassies to the battlefield.
The functions and features of basic voice, short messaging, and data communications are
implemented via the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standard specifications. This foundation of functionality
provides the starting point for the implementation of the enhanced features and operations
discussed in the next sections.
The key to the technology for the MilSec-RDS is that the entire platform is built on technology
building blocks implemented in software and derived from macro based systems. These
components are applied to a form factor more suited to a transportable man carryable or
vehicle mountable solution. The software base architecture of the iCore Network and Radio
Access Network platforms executes and implements the same functionality of commercial
systems by providing features such as roaming, dynamic mesh connectivity over IP, and 8TRX
base stations capable of 20W per channel. All of this is provided in a system occupying as few
as 6 rack units of space.
The operational mode of the MilSec-RDS is determined by the situation and
the system configuration. Scalable to support from one to ten base station
sites, the MilSec-RDS system supports both standalone as well as integrated
operations as detailed below.
Standalone Operations
In standalone mode, the MilSec-RDS provides complete multi-technology
solution service for handsets on the system. The communications network
can operate as an island of coverage and service as deployed. In the case
where the MilSec-RDS is deployed as a single unit, the integrated HLR houses
the subscriber profiles for validation. As an alternate configuration, the
system can be put in service with the ASP feature enabled, allowing open
access to the use of the system.
Integrated Communications
With the baseline of the MilSec-RDS system leveraging the feature set
capabilities of the iCore Network Center, the capability to extend the network
and provide meshed communications between MilSec-RDS systems is possible
using standard protocols and interfaces. As shown in the diagram below, several MilSec-RDS systems can network together via IP, thus expanding
the footprint and coverage of the system. This networking can be configured to occur dynamically and adjust as the network configuration
changes.
Interconnectivity of MilSec-RDSs to each other as well as to a centralized network center are based on standard GSM and CDMA mobility
procedures. This support allows the network to act as a cohesive unit supporting roaming and movement of subscribers from one system to the
next from a common profile repository.
The Tecore Networks MilSec-RDS solution for government and military applications is a comprehensive transportable network with a targeted
feature set. Whether using secured communications, basic voice and text messaging, or accessing IP resources, the MilSec-RDS delivers a complete
functionality in a size optimized transportable package.
