BLC-201 Field Telephone

The BLC-201 is a rugged, lightweight and waterproof analogue telephone set designed according to military requirements and suitable for connection to manual (magneto) or automatic 2-wire switchboards, to a similar telephone or directly to the public telephone network (PSTN). The telephone electronics, based on DSP technology, uses a high efficiency electronic ring generator to ensure low power consumption and long battery life. The BLC-201 operates in Common Battery (CB), Common Battery Signaling (CBS) or Local Battery (LB) modes, as selected by the user. When operating in LB or CBS modes, the BLC-201 Field Telephone is powered by a pack of four C size (IEC-LR14) Ni-MH rechargeable or alkaline battery cells. Batteries are not required in CB mode. A slim and lightweight military standard handset with push-to-talk switch allows easy operation even by personnel wearing helmet. Silent calls are allowed with extra microphone amplification by selecting Whisper mode of operation.

Accessories
The BPC-201 is a fast battery charger that will charge a set of rechargeable batteries for the BLC-201 telephone set usually in less than 2 hours. The charger is microprocessor-controlled and uses dV detection technology and a safety timeout for fast charging and a long battery life.

PSTN

The CD-116 modular architecture offers a wide range of configurations from 16 to 60 multifunctional lines as well as interfaces for CO trunks, radios, E&M, ISDN, BRI and PRI (2Mbits/s), G.703 and Eurocom circuits. Two or more CD-116 may be stacked for building larger switchboards.

Analogue Field Telephones (CB, CBS or LB)

The multifunctional lines are used for CB, CBS and LB telephones and may also be used for CO trunk lines (CB, CBS or LB), if these interfaces are included in the CD-116 configuration. The multifunctional interfaces, as well as all the others, are software programmable through the front panel console, allowing configuration changes even at field level.
Analogue Fax machines VHF or UHF Radio

HF Radio

When the CD-116 interfaces with Combat Net Radio equipment, radio communications to other switchboards and/or to stand-alone radios are available to network users. Automatic calls can be made from CD-116 to the radio network or from any remote radio to the CD-116 users, if DTMF dialing is available on the radio.

ISDN BRI interfaces are available for connecting PCs and digital telephones. Internetworking functionalities allow digital and analogue telephones to communicate transparently.
