Camarillo, CA – September 12, 2008, Voiceboard Corporation – Enea® (Nordic Exchange/Small Cap/ENEA), a world
leading provider of network software and services, today announced that Voiceboard is using the Enea®
Element middleware and professional services to develop a new VoIP-networked military radio
telecommunications system. Voiceboard will use Element to develop a distributed, fault-tolerant VoIP
gateway that facilitates communications between mobile radio, SATCOM terminals, telephone systems,
user headsets and VoIP networked communication terminals operating in a tactical military environment.
“The complex telecommunications systems utilized for tactical military environments requires a high
availability middleware solution that provides integrated supervision, control, fault management, and
upgrade management services,” said Terry Pearson, vice president of marketing at Enea. “We’re pleased
that Voiceboard has selected our Element middleware and professional services team to accelerate
deployment of their VoIP-based tactical communications equipment.”
The 8M is a compact MIL-STD-810 packaging of our complete BridgeWay Console system, intended for supporting mobile users of military advanced communications technology programs, such as Win-T, JTRS and others. BridgeWay-8M packs the power to support 8 radios and up to 64 Java based command and control consoles in a (8.5Lx6.2Wx2.0H inch) package. Field personnel may plug in SAT phone, radios, headsets and IP communications terminals or PC’s and have a complete field communications network setup in minutes.
“We’re excited to be working with Enea on this project,” said Greg Peacock, Voiceboard CTO.
“Middleware development is one of the most complex, costly, and time-consuming aspects of deploying
reliable, high-availability VoIP networked systems. Enea’s Element middleware, together with their topnotch
professional services, provide an off-the-shelf communications and network management solution
that is enabling us to focus our development efforts and accelerate deployment of our next generation
tactical military VoIP radio telecommunication systems”.
