Product brief: Link 16 secure voice

J-Voice for the entire operations team

Since its early beginnings in the Vietnam War, Link 16 (L16) has been consistently improved
and has subsequently developed into the primary military tactical data link for NATO and
selected friendly nations. Commanders are able to employ L16 to exchange vast amounts
of mission data between likewise equipped units in real time without fear of cyber attack
or being subject to electronic counter measures. One key element of L16 capability is its
ability to host secure voice channels – often referred to a J-Voice (Joint Tactical Information
Distribution System – JTIDS) – and this is an area where Frequentis can add value. By
using the field-proven and certified ground/air and ground/ground secure communications
system iSecCOM, Frequentis provides the customer with unparalleled J-Voice connectivity
to every iSecCOM position.
