The new PacStar 421 module integrates REDCOM eXtended Radio Interoperability (XRI) into PacStar 400-Series Tactical Communications Systems

REDCOM Laboratories, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of advanced tactical communications systems for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), has announced a new Sigma XRI module for PacStar systems. The new PacStar 421 module includes REDCOM Sigma XRI technology with radio gateway services for modern and legacy radios, enabling tactical users to seamlessly bridge the gap between disparate VoIP and RoIP radio systems. The module leverages existing radio assets to enable maximum interoperability, regardless of the radio network, endpoint, or frequency used.

The PacStar 421 module with REDCOM XRI also includes REDCOM’s powerful Sigma C2 Console app, which enables RoIP and VoIP endpoints to be monitored, controlled, and patched together on-the-fly from an intuitive interface.

“PacStar and REDCOM have worked closely together for several years, but this is the first time we have executed joint development to create a fully integrated product,” said REDCOM Strategic Lead John Kelliher. “REDCOM’s robust and proven C2 communications solution converges IP- and RF-based communications, enabling real-time interoperability at the point of attack. Integrating REDCOM C2 technology with PacStar’s modular systems greatly reduces complexity while allowing users to leverage multiple, disparate means of communication to ensure interoperability in complex and contested combat environments.”

“We are very excited to collaborate with REDCOM to add REDCOM XRI functionality to PacStar 400 Series tactical communications ecosystem,” said Dominic Perez, CTO, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions division. “The combination of PacStar and REDCOM technologies gives operators the best of both worlds, delivering a proven full-featured C2 platform that uses a single interface for controlling RoIP and SIP endpoints and for voice, video and chat.”

A live demonstration of the PacStar 421 RoIP Module with REDCOM Sigma XRI will be presented during SOF Week, May 8-11, Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, FL, in Curtiss-Wright’s booth #1143.
