The current Pax River intercom system is traditional in nature, and consists of several discrete wires running throughout the facility to provide standard multi-net intercom communications. Despite the current system's complexity, the ASTi system provides a simple, complete interface that converts analog communications to digital audio for long haul distribution. Additionally, the ASTi system provides an element of reconfigurability previously unavailable with the analog system. ASTi's turnkey network intercom solution includes 7 XiComm TM nodes to be integrated at various remote sites and buildings throughout the Pax River facility. It provides audio and control interfaces for up to 16 operators located at any of these locations.
Inactive buses remain in operation locally.
