The U.S. Department of Defense has selected net.com’s SHOUTIP VoIP solution to provide secure and un-secure voice calls between coalition sites as part of the Kuwait-Iraq Command, Control, Communications and Computers Commercialization (KICC) program. net.com’s SHOUTIP with secure voice relay offers support for secure telephone units (STU) as well as future narrow-band data terminal (FNBDT) technology.
As part of the KICC program, remote sites are linked via satellite where bandwidth is at a premium. SHOUTIP’s advanced call-packing technology, combined with its secure call relay technology, offers tremendous bandwidth savings compared with competitive secure voice over IP implementations. SHOUTIP can provide a 70% bandwidth savings when transporting a 9.6 kilobit per second secure voice call over an IP network compared with non-relay based implementations. http://www.net.com
