The next generation ACU-Z1 interoperability gateway maintains the modular nature of the company’s signature ACU product, but boasts a smaller form factor, requires less power, can interface more types of communications systems and is operable from any web browser.
The ACU-Z1 gateway hosts a highly scalable and adaptable audio engine that expands the size, type, and number of interoperability nets that can be created, while also allowing exchange of metadata between various communications formats.
Another key improvement is the increase in processing power and the advanced capabilities this enables for this initial release and for future updates.

The RSP-Z2 combines the capabilities of the company’s network extension unit (NXU) and analog radio adapter (ARA products). The RSP-Z2 supports SIP, RTP, RoIP, PSTN and radio connections allowing public safety agencies to communicate with a vast array of communication devices using a single interoperable platform.
The RSP-Z2 works on a Linux operating system, includes a smart phone and tablet interface, connects to the company’s wide area interoperability system (WAIS) and supports SIP/ROIP pass-through, radio relays, a SIP/ROIP net with two radios and PSTN to radio communications.
The device is operable in three modes – a stand-alone mode, a remote extension mode and controller mode. In stand-alone mode, users can monitor and control the remote radios connected by the RSP-Z2. Remote extension mode allows users to monitor and control both the assets cabled to the modules as well as remote devices brought into the system through the ethernet interface. Controller mode allows users to connect multiple RSP-Z2s together to form nets regardless of physical location via a web interface.
JPS Interoperability Solutions integrates Enterprise Secure Chat (ESChat) with its ACU technology. The combined solution, named JPS VIA, delivers secure voice and data links between mobile devices and JPS gateways. Using the PTT over Cellular solution, system operators and the individual users of the gateways’ various communications systems can now also communicate via Smartphones and tablets.
JPS VIA is offered as a cloud-hosted service running on commercial 3G/LTE/WiFi networks. Customers simply purchase the service through JPS, download the application to their Smartphones from the Google Play or Apple App Store, and are charged a monthly service fee per mobile device used. This solution is an inexpensive option for customers seeking to extend their radio communications capability with lower cost cellular devices, regardless of carrier. On-premise systems are available by request.
ESChat has also recently added the proprietary JPS RoIP protocol into their platform to allow ESChat servers to communicate directly with new and existing JPS interoperability equipment. The addition of JPS’s RoIP will allow the many ESChat-enabled products currently offered to directly connect with JPS gateways and NXU radio interfaces – both for new deployments or with the large installed base of JPS products.
The ACU-2000 interoperability gateway adds to the ACU-1000 feature set the ability to digitally converge existing radio systems with VoIP telephones, softphones, and VoIP telephone systems. All of the advantages of the open-standards SIP telephony protocol are brought to your to radio systems and radio connectivity added to your VoIP network. The ACU-2000 IP is modular, completely scalable and field configurable.
The system joins disparate voice communications systems, allowing them to be flexibly connected together, monitored, and controlled over an IP network via an intuitive graphical user interface (ACU Controller software, included).
The ACU-2000 IP continues all of the features of the ACU-1000 and adds interoperability with your SIP devices and systems.
Using the ACU-T Tactical Interconnect System, a radio gateway can be rapidly configured and deployed to meet almost any interoperability application involving radios and telephones. The ACU-T offers the form-factor, flexibility and features required for tactical, fixed, or vehicular interconnect applications.
Employing the same plug-in modules and control software as the popular ACU-2000, this lightweight, tactical system is suitable for LMR, P25, TETRA, HF radio, telephones, trunking and SATCOM systems. It can also join WAIS systems (Wide Area Interoperability System).
The ACU-M, mission critical interoperability solution, is a feature-rich, simple-to-use device that can be networked and managed remotely. The miniature interoperability device built on the proven ACU technology. The JPS Interoperability Solutions device has an intuitive control panel for operation, field diagnostics and programming. Weighing less than 3 pounds, the ACU-M is easily deployed and affordably priced, making it ideal for mission-critical interoperability.
The ACU-M provides interoperability between its four audio ports (for radios or other devices), two voice over internet protocol (VoIP) channels, and a headset port. The unit is equipped with a comprehensive suite of digital signal processing (DSP) functions that allow it to competently interconnect radios in any band including HF, VHF, UHF, P25, 800-MHz and Nextel iDEN phones. The DSP function is notably absent from competitive counterparts. An Ethernet port provides access to a network for the VoIP channels and is also used for remote control and feature and firmware upgrades.
The enclosure design of the ACU-M offers maximum portability and flexibility to meet the demands of establishing command and control in the field. The unit can be powered by a battery, vehicle +12-volt outlet, or AC power supply provided.
