RIDUX

solutions for high-mobility communication networks

We offer solutions for high-mobility communications networks. Our platforms allow us to offer solutions for almost any application scenario. Due to its open design, as an end-user, you can already incorporate development into your individual requirements.

Secure communication in any scenario

Our software platform RIDUX is the answer to the challenges that networks have to face in action. These must work under all possible circumstances, adapting seamlessly to the circumstances and being able to operate intuitively - with minimal intervention and technical knowledge.

From complexity to functionality

We deliver a fully integrated solution with a simplified user interface and out-of-the-box service components. This ensures that a wide range of platforms, technologies, protocols, waveforms with additional provisioning and coverage issues work safely and effectively in a dynamic and heterogeneous environment. The control of Systems and system clusters takes place via a single interface.

With outstanding technology to your own secure network

Your private network is based on an EPC (envolved package core) provided by us. This makes it both self-sufficient and ultimately cost-effective. It builds up automatically, offers de-centralized management and is self-optimizing thanks to self-healing network properties. The integrity and availability of the system are guaranteed at all times.

blackned - high-mobility communications network

always available

Critical services do not allow for any downtime or unavailability

easy to use

The user should concentrate on his or her mission. Additional distraction due to complicated and difficult operation must be avoided

dynamic network plan

Networks cannot be planned in a mobile or deployable environment. A transparent MANET approach for the entire network infrastructure is therefore necessary

scalable

Missions and Projects must be able to scale and adapt to new circumstances at any time without any administrative intervention

secure

The user needs to rely on the integrity and availability of their system at all times

Highlights

With RIDUX, we offer you the assurance that our solutions for highly mobile communications networks fully meet the high and demanding requirements for critical infrastructures.

RIDUX

RIDUX BASE includes all the functionality required to operate any type of MANET, mesh or traditional network.
In conjunction with our intuitive and integrated user interface, the system can be configured and operated holistically. In addition, BASE is equipped with our MP-MTR technology (multi-protocol multi-topology router), distributed MANET data management system, user and device management, type 2 hypervisor for virtual guest services and much more.

RIDUX Enterprise

RIDUX ENTERPRISE is our unique implementation of the functions and services required to operate 4G LTE networks in MANET / Mesh environments. Enterprise seamlessly integrates with our BASE package and provides true mesh capability for 3GPP RAN networks including inter-EPC handovers via SND / MeshFlow and interfaces to our MANET-enabled IMS RIDUX COLLABORATION solution.

Collaboration

RIDUX COLLABORATION includes MANET-enabled services to provide communication capability in tactical mobile networks. Integrated services include HD voice, push to talk, messaging, file sharing and video communication. These are provided to the user in the manner known by the private smartphone. The variability of the network and server-side service delivery, directly through the next node, are kept transparent from a user perspective.
