GCT IP-Link (Radio VoIP gateway system)
GCT-IP Link provides Voice over IP (VoIP) communications between Land Mobile Radios, Telecom systems, SATCOM terminals and VoIP networked communication terminals over internet or other TCP/IP networks.
GCT-IP Link is designed to support a variety of configurations, from simple point to point extension of radio network over intermediate links such as LAN, Internet or satellite to complex networks of multi-site connectivity.
The system provides next generation radio and intercom communication capabilities while dramatically reducing size, weight and power requirements over previous generation technology.
GCT-IP Link integrates 1 Radio / Audio port, a VoIP Gateway, Client-Server, and Call Manager into a single compact, light weight and low power system. It runs on embedded Linux platform and provide seamless interface between radios using open standards Voice over IP technology. Version is available with 2 radio/audio ports.
The system has been designed to transport signalling schemes such as DTMF over data networks. GCT-IP Link overcomes the problem of degradation of audio tone due to compression algorithm resulting in poor signal decoding by directly decoding analog signaling tones and encoding them into data messages. Similarly, the reverse operation ( analog encoding ) is performed at the transmission end. It is also equipped with audio pre / post processor for optimum signal conditioning.
It is capable of producing exceptional audio quality at a very low bandwidth.
The system analog radio/audio port features transformer isolated 4-wire audio, Carrier Operated Switching (COS) inputs and relay operated PTT transmit control.
It also provides Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and silence suppression. VAD is useful when connecting to communication equipments that do not provide a COS or Mute output. It performs a VOX function.
GCT-IP Link is configurable via in-built web server for system parameter configuration.
VoIP Gateway :
The GCT–IP Link has built-in Gateway and Server capability which can handle a large number of nodes. With a reasonable throughput network bandwidth, it is capable to handle up-to 5 simultaneous nodes in conference mode .

- Automated call routing feature allows networked user dial access to multiple radio networks and conference call. Conference with upto 5 nodes under standard condition
- Connect or disconnect stations or channels with just a few DTMF codes
- Silence Suppression and VAD : The system has Silence suppression capability to reduce the amount of bandwidth used.
- Voice Activity Detection (VAD) can be used to detect active audio packets on the radio connection in order to activate the Push to Talk (PTT) on the radio for it to transmit
- COS/PTT facility : Manual activation through COS and PTT can be used to key the remote radios
- Jitter Buffer : This is used to counter ‘jitter’ introduced by packet networks so that a continuous play-out of audio transmitted over the network can be ensured.
- Voice Codec : low-latency and high-quality Opus codec/G.726 ADPCM
- Highly Secured/Encrypted data communication to prevent interception (128 bit or 256 bit AES)
- Multiple Serial ports & I/0 Ports : Versions are available with 2 or 4 serial ports & with 4 Digital and 2 analogue I/O ports. The serial ports can be used to connect other serial devices such as

GCT-iSpeak (Wideband IP Speaker)
System Overview
GCT- i Speak is a SIP compliant wall mount indoor/outdoor speaker designed for voice paging, loud ringing, and emergency/ safety/security notification and alerting. The speaker is PoE enabled and equipped with a high efficiency integrated audio amplifier, Common application environments include: classroom, factory warehouse, utility plant, machine shop, garage, lunch room, kitchen, etc. IP speakers function as a paging system that can broadcast and multi-cast live messages and recordings to target specific rooms, areas, buildings, or campus, overriding any background music or other audio of a lower priority.
Wide-band OPUS codec (HD voice and music) and other existing compatible codec are supported in the speaker to provide optimum speech clarity and intelligibility and high-fidelity music. Voice paging and emergency announcements can be easier to understand with wideband, particularly in a noisy environment. 
The speaker registers as a 3rd party SIP endpoint with most standard VoIP telephone systems. A single registered speaker can be configured to steam audio to any predefined number.
For multi-cast paging applications zone paging is supported via key press selection from standard IP phones. An integrated microphone in the speaker enables talk-back. Built-in microphones and speakers on IP devices enable intercom functionality with two-way communication. Initiate a call with a push of a button, and speak between a phone and the device, or between devices. The IP Speaker functions as a durable, weather-resistant, surface-mount PoE loud-speaker that extends the reach of audio communication to indoor/outdoor environments
Any combination of IP endpoints can be deployed from one to many. There is no limit to the scale of the solution.
The GCT- iSpeak comes with a built in microphone, high efficiency audio amplifier and a high quality loudspeaker. The endpoints are PoE (48V, IEEE802.3af, Class 0) enabled and connect to the network via standard RJ45 connector. Only a PoE switch or injector is required to power the endpoints, and network connectivity to SIP server is all that is needed. No other hardware or software is required to operate the paging system. This devices can operate standalone. They do not require external software for atomic timekeeping or broadcasting messages from the device’s web server. However, you can use application software to take advantage of the device capabilities, and then integrate the devices into applications like a mass notification system, a phone network etc.

GCT - Serial Link
Ethernet to Serial Device Server / Converter
IS14232A / IS14245A / IS14422A / IS14TA
GCT-SLink provides 4 port RS232 and 1 port 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet, can focus manage disperse serial devices, through an IP network.
GCT-SLink allows a "remote" serial port for any LAN connected workstation via telnet or port-redirector software. It also connects any two async serial devices through a LAN, even via routers, when used in client-server or direct mode. It is often used with serial devices such as remote data collection terminals, DCB multiplexers and Access Switches, SCADA, building automation equipment, UPS's, bar code scanners, or climate control devices. It is used to connect serial management ports directly to an Ethernet network for "in-band" control of "out-of-band" devices. For this application, simply telnet to the serial management port of the connected device or use inexpensive (or free) port redirector software.
GCT-SLink uses the TCP/IP protocol, allowing data connection across routed or switched LAN/WAN networks as well as connections on a local network.
GCT-SLink supports serial interface speeds up to 230 Kbps. It can automatically open connections when it powers up (Nailed-Up mode), eliminating the need for a manual request. Full flow controls (RTS/CTS) and Xon/Xoff are also supported.
GCT-SLink also allows a serial device to treat the modem as a true "Ethernet Modem", using normal modem control and response strings such as "ATD", "ATE", +++, etc. This allows a single modem to connect to multiple remote servers under control of the attached serial device.
Reverse Telnet (Telnet Client) mode allows telnet functionality to be added to serial devices.
If in point to point client server mode and the "nailed" connection is lost, it automatically reconnects when a path again becomes available.
GCT-SLink can be managed directly through its physical port as well as remotely from other network locations. Remote configuration is supported using TCP/IP (telnet) or with the easy web browser interface. Security lists are provided for management security. supports RFC 2217 (remote control of serial port parameters), with a compliant client.
