IMPLEMENTING UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS VIA A SINGLE SWAP-C DEVICE

by Brett Elms; Unni Nair; Rosemarie D’Agostino

Abstract

Communications has come a long way from the two dimensional model provided by voice and data. Today complete situational awareness requires bringing a third dimension, video, into the mix. Implementing this unified view into today’s military vehicles calls for a unit with a well thought out design that interfaces thoroughly with other equipment and minimizes SWAP-C impact. This paper addresses the efficient convergence of video with existing voice and data presenting unified communications into a single SWAP-C device.
