Even the Department of Defense (DoD) is getting in on unified communications (UC). Avaya's Government Solutions arm just completed its first end-to-end VoIP call over the DoD's Global Information Grid.
The call was a field evaluation of the Real Time Services Unified Communication program using new technology meeting the heightened requirements for quality of service and security needed by the DoD. The new tech being tested included the DISA's Multi-Function Softswitch on the DoD's Defence Switch Network. The communications were being tested on a new protocol called Assured Services-Session Initiation Protocol (AS-SIP)--a beefed up DoD version of civilian SIP with more security features.
Avaya Government Solutions worked with Acme Packet on the test to provide the secure VoIP communications infrastructure and General Dynamics Information Technology for the system integrator. The AS-SIP demo calls were completed between Scott Air Force Base in Illinois and Lackland Air Force Base in Texas across the DoD's IP-based backbone network.
