Seamless, reliable communications across teams and vehicles
Invisio link wireless system
Seamless communication is vital in any military scenario, enabling coordination in dynamic, often challenging, situations as well as ensuring full situational awareness. The INVISIO Intercom system does all of this, allowing seamless transitions between land, sea and air assets while maintaining comms, hearing protection and full situational awareness.
The intercom system, which has been tried and tested by military forces globally, can be carried by dismounted troops but can also be mounted in a vehicle, providing the same levels of communication on the move. The INVISIO ecosystem now includes wireless capabilities, INVISIO Link™, which adds a dongle to the existing INVISIO body worn kit along with a base station to the INVISIO Intercom System. This provides unlimited mobility and helps bridge the gap between dismounted and mounted users, ensuring uninterruptable comms. Ongoing innovation to the Intercom system, along with the forthcoming launch of additional new products including an Intercom Switch and Loudspeaker, ensures the INVISIO ecosystem offers enhanced flexibility, interoperability and functionality for mission-critical users.
Vehicle-based comms challenges
Mounted environments present additional challenges when it comes to comms, including noise levels and impacts on audio quality. Unlike some wireless systems, INVISIO Link™ provides uncompromised speech intelligibility along with strong connectivity, ensuring clear communications in vehicle-based settings. It also removes any disconnect between comms systems for dismounted soldiers and systems inside vehicles, providing seamless transitions between mounted and dismounted scenarios. INVISIO Link™ removes the issue of tangled cords, giving users free mobility in vehicles where space is often at a premium, and also offers auto-connect which allows for even easier use in the field.
The INVISIO Link™ system is unparalleled in size and weight, with a body-worn INVISIO Link dongle weighing just 70g. It is secure thanks to AES 256 encryption and can be installed anywhere either as a fixed installation, on molle webbing or in a bag. The Link station has a small footprint ensuring ease of use, with the option of an external antenna for specially challenging RF installations.
Jacob Tranegaard, Intercom Product Manager at INVISIO, said: “INVISIO Link™ gives users more freedom and mobility than ever, along with uncompromised speech intelligibility, secure encryption and a small footprint. It has already proven key to guaranteeing clear tactical communications in a range of military scenarios, from vehicle solutions to command post communications.”
The INVISIO Control™ App provides an intuitive user management overview of connected users, radios and wireless signal strength
User management
A key benefit of the INVISIO ecosystem is ease when it comes to user management. This is helped by the INVISIO Control™ app, which offers an intuitive interface that provides a real-time visualization of all radios connected to the INVISIO Intercom system.
The app's graphical interface allows users to see exactly who is communicating, how and when, showing all radios connected to the Intercom system. Its ability to provide real-time changes of permissions at the click of a button makes it adaptable to any mission or situation. In addition, the app makes it possible to relay or crossband radios attached to the INVISIO intercom, allowing communications between different units. It can also integrate seamlessly with other systems such as navigation and battle management via an API.
A series of adjustments have been made to the app to better support INVISIO Link™, explains Peter Lustrup, Senior Product Manager Digital Solutions at INVISIO. These emphasize the ease of use of the system in a range of challenging environments, including inter-unit situations and fast-moving, dynamic scenarios - especially vehicle-based situations. Additional adjustments to improve the app include Android support, adding to the potential for integration, as well as support of dual intercom or three intercom systems. “The app brings new capabilities, and a lot more control. INVISIO Link™ works perfectly without the app, but the app brings additional functionality and allows for ease of use - something that is vital on the battleground,” adds Lustrup.
Having an overview of the whole comms system also allows for the ability to monitor transmission power and signal strength, explains Lustrup, potentially valuable in a variety of settings, including in cities or buildings. Pairing is also easier than ever.
INVISIO Link™ and the wider INVISIO ecosystem, including the improved app, offers game-changing tactical communications designed to address the challenging scenarios encountered in military environments. When it comes to mounted environments, INVISIO Link™ provides a robust, wireless solution that is reliable, and easy to use without compromising the quality of communication.
