Voice and Data Switching Subsystems

• Ideal for Connecting Multiple Modems to One Another
• Switch Radio Lines, Voice Lines, and Higher Voltage Control Signals Simultaneously
• Eliminate Manual Wiring/Rewiring and Eliminate Costly Mistakes
• In use by Federal Aviation Administration
• State-of-the-art Interfacing Allows for Easy Expansion
• High-density Switch Cards Mean Significantly Smaller Footprints

VXI Technology's Voice and Data Switching (VDS) System is designed to replace existing routing systems with an automated and modular design that eliminates time consuming and error- prone manual interventions. The VDS systems are capable of supporting large I/O requirements in a small footprint through the use of high-density switching cards. This is extremely useful when multiple devices must be linked together to test a telecommunications path.

Any device that can be part of the path is hardwired one time to a main panel which, in turn, interfaces to the VDS. The system then makes the necessary connections to establish the desired path. Pictured above is a VDS that was built for the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA used the VDS to simulate different air - ground, ground - ground scenarios. At their facility, they have a number of different voice switches, radios, recorders, etc.

Any of these devices has a number of associated I/O which may be part of a communications path. Figure 1 is an example of a path that is established when an air traffic controller communicates with a radio. This VDS allows for, but is not limited to, over 700 input/output points (over 20 devices) that could connect with each other. Software prevents undesirable connections.
