Ascom Tactical openAccess Nodes are

integrated voice and data switches that provide

the essential foundation for today’s mission

critical communications infrastructures. They are

used by national and international military

forces, peace keeping troops and crisis

management teams.

Ascom Tactical openAccess Nodes’

connectivity and operational features provide

secure and scaleable functionality for voice, data

and imagery applications demanded in the

combat arena and homeland security relations.

Built on proven hardware and software

technology, Ascom compact network nodes are

compliant with global industry and governmental

standards for vehicle and military grade

electronics.

In alignment with NATO TACOMS Post 2000 architecture, Ascom

Tactical openAccess Node C (TAN C) provides interoperable access

functionality towards mobile headquarter communication infrastructures.

It connects local area subsystems with headquarter ofﬁces and other

detached control facilities by creating an extended single all-IP network.

This allows ﬁxed line communication equipment and ﬁeld radio devices to

exchange information that enhance situational awareness.

Ascom Tactical openAccess Node C is a high-performance military-

grade communication network access node with integrated routing

functionality. Supplied in a non-rugged housing with a standard range of

operating temperature, it is the cost effective choice for sheltered environ-

ments.

Designed for a large variety of permanent and ad-hoc deployments,

Ascom Tactical openAccess Node C can be used to create virtual LANs even

over various transmission technologies, including Ethernet, ISDN, SHDSL,

LOS (Line-of-sight) and satellite infrastructure. QoS routing priorities can

be deﬁned as well as security levels set for secure and efﬁcient trafﬁc

management.
