Integrated GPS receiver for simulcast systems – no external and costly GPS required. Infostream’s Cypher Paging Encoder and Base Station system has been engineered to meet paging system infrastructure requirements ranging from low cost, low power single site (hospital, factory etc) paging system to high availability multi-site (regional, state or national) systems. The elegant, modular and flexible structure of the Cypher system allows you to integrate your own paging terminal, transmitters and distribution network technology. Or let Infostream supply you with a complete solution. The Cypher base station comprises two core modules – the intelligent base station controller (with optional integrated GPS module) and the Cypher transmitter interface. Each module is supplied with a 19” rack form factor for easy integration with a range of rack mounted transmitter configurations from 1 to 300 Watts, depending on your requirements. The Cypher solution occupies only 3 19” standard rack units. With the integrated GPS option, the Cypher system forms a wide area, multi-protocol simulcast system of up to 1024 base stations in a single encoder region. Up to 4 encoder channels can be integrated per Base Station Controller. An optional Over-The-Air (OTA) monitor module provides full end-to-end message confirmation. The monitor module can be installed at the base station or combined with a base station controller module to create a stand alone remote network monitor station. The Cypher Encoder is available with 1 to 4 channels, with 2 RS232 TNPP inputs, or IP interface.
Features Flexible
Fast
From 1 to 1024 base stations in stand alone (single site), simulcast or sequential paging, up to 4 channels per site. Interfaces to virtually any standard paging transmitter.
Infostream’s Cypher system uses sophisticated on-thefly encoding techniques with multiple priority levels. Onthe-fly encoding means that messages are encoded to air according to their priority level a quickly as possible – even within a batch in progress providing minimum time-to-air for critical response time applications.
Reliable
Base station controller provides for dual distribution links with automatic fail-over. Use a PSTN, GPRS or 3G modem to provide high availability backup for your primary distribution links.
Small footprint
Base station occupies only 3 19” rack units (excluding transmitter and PSU).
