RSP-Z2

DUAL-CHANNEL INTEROPERABILITY GATEWAY

The RSP-Z2™ provides an incredibly versatile, feature-rich, and affordable analog/VoIP gateway solution. Patch audio from local radio and IP-based resources such as JPS RoIP or JPS Bridge streams, SIP devices, Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) applications, and more.

Choose to deploy the RSP-Z2 as a standalone gateway to capably manage up to four audio nets, send audio to third-party IP recorders, monitor local audio, create backup files to save or reuse settings, and more. Or choose to quickly integrate it as a distributed system managed by a Z-Series Controller to scale up wide area communications – all made simple thanks to its built-in Unity feature set and JPS Talkpaths.

In the tradition of the ACU-1000 and ACU-2000, but with the flexibility of a smaller, more adaptable form factor, the RSP-Z2 embodies all the customer-friendly features and benefits you’ve come to expect from JPS. Plus, like all radio-interfacing JPS products, the RSP-Z2 incorporates the JPS suite of radio interface algorithms and the ability to use JPS’ large catalog of radio interface cables.

The Gateway for Any Size System

The RSP-Z2 got its name for its two radio connectors, but it can be configured for up to four resources (max. 2 radio) plus an optional USB headset.

Unique radio-specific features like our Adaptive Transmit Delay (US Pat. 10630846) – for a vastly superior trunked radio interface – complement JPS’ tradition of innovation in smooth half-duplex device integration and reliable audio delivery. On the IP side, a growing list of audio streaming types (e.g., JPS RoIP, MCC, PoC, SIP, etc.), ensures the complex challenges of patching modern systems to radio or to each other is handled with ease.

The RSP-Z2 is highly capable in any size interoperability system: from standalone gateways to large, modern wide area systems managed by a Z-Series Controller. Built-in JPS Unity capabilities in the products streamline distributed system management. JPS Talkpaths automatically provide clean, on-demand audio routing and connectivity. TCP box-to-box messaging improves performance on congested, wireless, or unreliable networks. A managing Z-Series Controller can even prepare and push software updates to RSP-Z2s in its system.

Optional ChaCha20 and AES-256 encryption can be licensed on JPS Z-Series devices for JPS Talkpaths, JPS Bridge, JPS RoIP, and some MCC Console audio.

Access from Anywhere

The dynamic patching capability of the RSP-Z2 can be controlled and its audio flow monitored via the unit’s web-based graphical user interface. Since the user interface is browser-based, it can be accessed from anywhere using a modern computer, smartphone, or tablet. HTTPS is available in sw versions 4.3.0. and above. DTMF injection is available on all resource types in sw versions 4.4.0 and above.

When an RSP-Z2 joins a wide area Unity system managed by a Z-Series Controller, all its resources immediately display on the Z-Series Controller user interface where they can be managed, reconfigured, etc. by the Z-Series Controller operator. Meanwhile, the RSP-Z2 user interface continues to reflect its own resources, as well as status and connection indicators, including JPS Talkpaths for when a resource is put into a net with a resource from another system.

Net Presets or Custom Mode

Net presets simplify some of the most common standalone configurations. In Independent Passthrough, the RSP-Z2 acts as a pair of independent IP data streams. In this mode, the unit behaves similarly to a two-channel version of the popular JPS NXU-2B, but with many additional features. In one of the Cross-Connected presets, the RSP-Z2 can create a local patch between two of its interfaces, with or without a backhaul link to an IP-based resource, such as a SIP phone, an MCC Console, or a Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) application.

The Custom mode net configuration lets you easily recreate any of the other preset patches in nets, plus it also provides up to four RTP or SIP dedicated recorder resources, one-way audio monitoring, and seamless integration with a Z-Series Controller. Even when the RSP-Z2 is used standalone, Custom mode makes it possible to put any combination of its resources – plus a USB headset – in the same interoperability net. Moving resources in and out of nets is by drag-and-drop, and context-sensitive help is always available for setup and configuration guidance.
