Rev. 1
The Scout Outpost device is a full-featured VoIP Base
Station controller designed and manufactured by
Avtec.It incorporates over 20 years of base station
controller experience gained in mission critical airline
and railroad operations. This flexible endpoint
interfaces non-VoIP radios to an Ethernet network for
audio transport and remote control. Outpost is easily
configured from the Scout Project Manager or a web
browser.
Outpost converts audio coming from the phone or
radio to packet voice and sends it to the console. In
reverse, it takes packet voice from the console,
converts it to analog audio, and sends it to the phone
or radio.
