UltiSat's Secure IP Transport (SIPT) remote bridges the gap between legacy secure voice devices to IP networks and enables warfighters to continue use of legacy devices. Devices supported include, STU, STE, FNBDT, SCIP, KIV-7, KG-84, KIV-19 and KIV-94/194 and their interconnections .

SIPT offers users a number of significant benefits including:

Cost savings

As legacy units do not need to be replaced, it saves on capital-expenditure equipment. In addition, connecting legacy devices into BGAN terminals while minimizing Inmarsat airtime by using Inmarsat's “streaming” mode of only 32 kbps creates a bandwidth, and therefore cost, saving. Other units may provide “conversion” capability, but they require a minimum of 64 kbps of bandwidth using voice-band data via RJ-11 or ISDN port versus SIPT's 32 kbps capability.

Self configures

SIPT's Discover feature ensures that no manual setup is required and it self configures on the network.

Plug and Play

The Inmarsat terminal can be managed by the SIPT so integration is transparent and seamless to the warfighter.  Moreover, SIPT manages the Inmarsat call and users pay ONLY for what they use. Competing products are “always on,” which means you are always paying Inmarsat unless manual intervention is taken).

pay only for what you use

For TDM/TDMA VSAT networks, the SIPT can send data across the satellite link at native rates such as 2.4, 4.8, 9.6 kbps for STUs/STEs while maintaining a constant bit rate. TDM/TDMA VSAT networks are bandwidth-on-demand (BoD) oriented as you get (and pay) for the bandwidth only when you need it. Thus, airtime is minimized (cost savings) while ensuring a high quality of service (QoS).

Voice and data support

SIPT supports one voice/one data port on the unit. It is associated with a gateway device which resides at the satellite hub/teleport or at the end-users premises.

Gateway product for multiple uses

The SIPT gateway (SG) provides the means for multiple SIPTs to access one or more IP networks in order to connect to secure voice and/or secure data devices on either side of the network. As such, it provides supervisory processing for call establishment and network administration, access control, call setup and control, voice and data transport and aggregation and other necessary SIPT provisioning and support functions. A SG will maintain a database of all registered SIPT users that are authorized to be used on any specific network, and therefore can provision as well as deny network access for a SIPT.

The SG employs a flexible, scalable architecture allowing for deployment in support of limited connections to a significant number (multiple T1-equivalent) connections. It can be installed at either a network operator’s point of present (POP) or teleport (such as a satellite land earth station) for “public network” service or at a customer’s headquarters or data center for “private network” service.
