PortuguêsDUAL-CHANNEL INTEROPERABILITY GATEWAY
The RSP-Z2™ provides an incredibly versatile, feature-rich, and affordable analog/VoIP audio communications 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.
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 like JPS RoIP+® and DFSI ensures the complex challenges of patching modern systems to radio or to each other is handled with ease.
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 interoperability 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.
Superior Audio Quality
Feature-rich, configurable resource and network settings specifically matched to audio source and device type.
Cost Effective
Does not require a “buy-in” to a specific network or equipment type. Links older and newer equipment. No recurring fees. Free customer support.
Highly Flexible
Capable as a standalone gateway or as part of a wide area Unity distributed system.
The Gateway Built Around Your Needs
It’s common to wonder what the difference is between the RSP-Z2 and the popular JPS NXU®-2B™. For starters, the RSP-Z2 has two radio connectors, whereas the NXU-2B has one. This difference means it’s easy to use the RSP-Z2 as a simple repeater between disparate radio makes/models. However, the RSP-Z2’s potential uses grow exponentially when considering that it has a total of four resources, plus an optional USB headset resource, Monitor and Broadcast Groups, audio in the browser, dedicated recorder streams, and more. Use the RSP-Z2 to link audio from LMR radio/4-wire, analog or digital DFSI, JPS RoIP+, JPS Bridge, JPS RoIP, MCC Console, RTP, SIP, and an expanding list of Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC).
While highly capable standalone, the RSP-Z2 – like the STR-Z3 – also integrates easily into modern wide area systems managed by a Z-Series Controller. The built-in JPS Unity feature set in the products streamlines this operation, using JPS Talkpaths to provide clean, on-demand audio routing and connectivity. When using Unity, a managing Z-Series Controller may use RSP-Z2 resources (e.g., PoC or LMR), configure settings, and update software on RSP-Z2s in its system.
The RoIP+ protocol includes AES-128 encryption. Optional ChaCha20 and AES-256 encryption can be licensed for JPS RoIP+ as well as 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 (selectable: HTTP, HTTPS, or both), it can be accessed from anywhere using a modern computer, smartphone, or tablet.
When an RSP-Z2 joins a wide area Unity system managed by a Z-Series Controller, 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.
Nets, Monitor Groups, Broadcast Groups, and More
Like all Z-Series devices, the RSP-Z2 uses drag-and-drop to move resources into and out of nets to make and break audio patches. This allows the operator to adapt nets according to the situation or the current interoperability needs. Additionally, nets can be locked to prevent accidental changes, they can be used to Play Stored Audio to the members of the net, and optional RTP or SIP streams can send audio to a third-party recorder resource.
Alongside Nets, Monitor Groups and Broadcast Groups offer one-way audio links. Importantly, these resources are not tied up in these groups; they can still fully participate in two-way nets. Set Monitors to listen to other selected resources. Use Broadcast Groups to make announcements. Like Nets, these groups can be locked and the Broadcast Groups can Play Stored Audio.
