Description

The area of application of the universal terminal device for service communication and control (UTUSS) in the control system of a field communication center and its elements.

The present device relates to the field of electrical radio engineering, namely to the technology of transmitting analog and digital information, and can be used to organize service communication at a field communication center, between hardware communication nodes and a communication control center (CCP), as well as other mobile and stationary objects.

The main direction of improving the control systems of communication centers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the automation of control processes for communication nodes and the creation of automated control systems for a communication center (ACSUS).

Automation of management processes and the creation of an ACSMS are aimed at reducing the share of time and efforts spent on technical and computational and informational work, reducing the time for collecting and processing information about the state of communication centers and its elements, bringing tasks to subordinates with their simultaneous documentation, providing circular or selective transmission of important commands and orders to all instances.

The solution to the problem of complex automation of control processes of communication centers during its operation, not only when planning its use, but also during duty, is supposed to be carried out by creating an automated control system for a communication center.

The technological basis of the AMCS is made up of terminal control devices, a control server, information sensors, and service communication facilities (telecommunication facilities and communication lines).

At the same time, the means of service communication are a key technological element that allows you to combine all hardware (combat posts) into a single system that provides information exchange (negotiation, data transfer, information exchange from control sensors of communication facilities, etc.) between them.

Currently, when deploying a service communication network at a communication center, primarily in a field, there are a number of organizational problems.

The interfacing of the service communication means of the old park hardware with samples of subsequent generations is not possible on all samples of equipment. Equipment manufacturers explained this by the fact that in the technical specifications for the hardware, the types of stations for joint work on cable lines are indicated, and work with similar samples or the previous generation is not provided.

Deploy intercom lines using intra-site trunks. These works take significant time and resources, as well as their constant maintenance during operation. At the same time, it is not always possible to deploy service communication lines between several control rooms directly without using additional lines; for these purposes, you have to use operational communication channels.

The existing large number of different types of terminal devices for service communication do not allow them to be used to provide service communication, due to the lack of uniform parameters of joints and technologies.

Taking into account the above, it is necessary to develop a universal terminal device that combines advanced telecommunication technologies with the use of software and hardware in the interests of the ACCS.

This device was developed under the name "Universal Terminal Device for Intercom" (UTUSS). It allows you to create a local area network at a communication center with multi-medium signal propagation without deploying specialized connecting lines between hardware rooms and additional hardware configuration.

The complex is designed to organize operational command communication in facilities and between facilities of the ACS of air and aerospace defense via a local area network (LAN) of the Ethernet type. This complex is designed to use specially deployed physical connecting lines between subscriber communication centers.

The disadvantages of both analogs and the prototype are that the systems are based on the use of the channel switching method and the analog transmission of information via communication channels or LAN (Ethernet) in connecting lines specially deployed for these purposes, which requires both labor and time costs for their deployment. and logistical. Also, the products do not allow simultaneous implementation in one device of the functions of a voice, video, textual information transfer system and a complex of automation of communication center control processes.

At the same time, it is possible to deploy a LAN over power grids and work in cellular networks. The control module can include: a 4-core Cortex-A72 processor with a clock frequency of each core from 1-2 GHz, RAM from 4 to 8 GB LPDDR4, 4 USB connectors and Ethernet (LAN) connectors, vHDMI, GPIO.
