Network centric operations and capabilities to their full extent imply a single coherent IP-network infrastructure for voice and radio communi­ca­tion, as well as data information exchange. Full utilisation of packet network principles - e.g. network resilience through path diversity - and furthermore the location independent dispersion of services and their replication require a remodelling of today’s architectures and systems. The result is a set of networked services and resources communicating with one another via open standardised interfaces, thus offering the highest level of interoperability.

From Networked Systems to Networked Building Blocks
Following these guiding principles, this evolution leads from system centred design to an architecture of open interoperable components. These new building blocks are used within the Frequentis i-volution concept to augment existing platforms with new IP services on one hand and to create new systems with unequalled capabilities on the other hand. This strategy provides a seamless path of system and network evolution, enabling gradual transition and protection of existing investments.

Full Network Centric Capabilities - Open Standards Based
Adoption of unified WAN-infrastructures, decentralisation of services and resources for purposes of fault tolerance and risk minimisation, enhanced scalability and mobility as well as the need for increased interoperability demand an IP-based design. Embracing the full power of IP results in a convergence of communications services (radio, conferencing and telephony) and data exchange and processing, both inside the network and even more important at the workstation/ operator position. Consideration of existing standards - e.g. IP and SIP - and active participating in standardisation for extensions where needed, are our main policy in order to facilitate the highest degree of interoperability.
