A defence department in the Canadian region has undertaken an extensive upgrade to its early-warning radar system for its air defence branch. It provides realtime surveillance of airspace from potential threats.

The warning system is comprised of dozens of unmanned long and short-range radar stations that extend over a wide geographical region. 619EI Interoperability Gateways
have been installed to bridge together audio paths and connect audio across multiple sites.

An upgrade to the system was required in order to connect critical audio paths to a long-haul communications network. As these facilities are remotely based and operate on a 24/7 basis, the solution required the careful selection of technology that provides unprecedented reliability with almost no manual intervention. The 619EI devices play a crucial part in switching and delivering critical information from remote coverage areas to central processing facilities via a long-haul satellite communications network.

The Omnitronics 619EI is used in a variety of mission critical installations on a global scale. As is the case here the use of interoperability gateways combines multiple communication networks in a simple to configure way.
