EB Network Extender™ is an integrated unit that provides the functionalities of a VoIP terminal, Ethernet switch and multi-channel SHDSL (Single-Pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line) modem and it can be used to provide broadband wired connectivity and VoIP services to the field, in LAN or WAN configuration. Wider area network services can be constructed by chaining of the Network Extenders through long-distance wiring. Broadband data connections can be built for distances of more than 10 kilometers between any two Network Extender units. The Network Extender's VoIP services can be used through a speaker accessory, or with the same headsets and handsets, as with the Terminal unit. Push-To-Talk functionality is also supported.

The EB Tough VoIP PoE Injector is a network-agnostic solution that provides Power over Ethernet-supported data interfaces to tactical military communications equipment.

Product Overview

EB's compact Tough VoIP PoE Injector is a flexible option for providing both secure data connections and the required power supply needed to perform tactical military communication. It is a unique solution for the military environment that can easily make communications equipment PoE-ready. By deploying the Tough VoIP PoE Injector, military personnel gain the flexibility to combine data and power supply over a single Ethernet cable—all without the costly need to rip-and-replace their current communications infrastructure.

EB Tough VoIP PoE Injector is completely rugged for demanding environmental conditions. The device can combine vehicular power supplies in the voltage range of 10-30V DC with regular Ethernet data, while providing a PoE-supported Ethernet connection for user devices—whether they are EB Tough VoIP products or third party equipment. Connector types and cable lengths are fully configurable for tailoring the installation for any customer platform.

EB Tough VoIP PoE Injector is available both in 802.3at Type 1 (802.3af) 12.95 Watts version and 802.3at Type 2 25.5 Watts version.

The EB Tough VoIP Terminal™ products are VoIP clients for tactical ad-hoc data radio networks, satcoms and other military communications systems. The Tough VoIP voice clients integrate to existing tactical communications networks whether they are based on radio communications or wired communications.

Product Overview

The Tough VoIP products are SIP compliant clients that provide interoperability with other SIP clients and server implementations available in the market. However, the products have been designed for tactical environments where network services are not present. The EB Tough VoIP products incorporate functionality that enables introduction of voice over IP services in dynamic self-forming networks. EB Tough VoIP products provide ease of use and reliability of voice services in all circumstances – with minimal bandwidth utilization. Use cases include:  

• Tactical communications
• Voice services for IP capable data radios
• Field communications
• Vehicular installations
• Airborne applications
• Deployed installations
• Airbases
• Command posts
• Shelters
• Intercom applications
• Vehicles, aircrafts, ships
