The Mercury ES Voice Bridge is a first-of-a-kind technology that allows high quality, instantaneous voice communications to flow between IP network security levels and from one domain to another without actually joining the networks. Voice communications within a security level or domain are IP-based, however, if the need to communicate with another level or security or to another domain arises, IP audio is converted to analog audio prior to passing through the security boundary of the Voice Bridge. Once audio passes through the boundary, it is converted back to IP audio and mixed and routed to the appropriate destination. A sophisticated signaling technique is used to negotiate calls between levels and domains.

The diagram above shows the Mercury ES Voice Bridge being used to provide real-time two way voice communications between a Top Secret and Secret network.
Each side of the Mercury ES voice bridge consists of a Mercury Interface Unit with DSP expansion to 32 IP audio channels, a Radio Interface Board and a GPIO option board. |
