Savion is powered by MaxTech’s voice-optimized mobile mesh networking technology. This unique patented technology was developed by MaxTech’s experts in wireless communication, networking, algorithms and academic research activity. Based on mobile mesh networking technology, Savion utilizes an optimized and proven hybrid ad hoc routing algorithm that combines both proactive and reactive routing techniques. This enables Savion to support high speed mobility and unmatched scalability, while eliminating the possibility of a single point of failure.
Unlike existing mesh solutions that support limited mobility (relying on static nodes) and form ad-hoc connectivity for data-oriented applications, MaxTech’s breakthrough patent pending technology turns each mobile device into part of a virtual infrastructure. The voice-optimized protocol provides high Quality of Service even in noisy environments and high capacity scenarios such as disaster areas. Multi-session and multi-hop capabilities ensure smooth communication within groups comprised of large numbers of users spread over several square kilometers.
Savion provides groups of users with unprecedented mobility and coverage without the need for a fixed communications infrastructure. Savion+ provides QoS voice and high-speed data and video services to defined groups, enabling mission-critical communications and ad hoc networking.
Savion is specifically designed to ensure reliable voice and data communications in the most challenging environments, as required to support mission-critical operations. Savion+ creates a powerful multi-hop/multi-user network that extends coverage till the “last yard” and overcomes the daily issues of infrastructure dependency, blocked transmissions (walls, metal, dead-spots, climate, etc.) and out of range communication. Since there is no single point of failure, you always have 100% network availability regardless of the physical surroundings.
Savion utilizes unique voice-optimized mobile mesh network technology to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS). This differentiates Savion+ from voice networks that use a data-oriented network, such as VoIP and WiFi, and hence cannot guarantee the same level of QoS. Savion gives priority to voice calls over packet data in order to ensure voice quality.
A key advantage of Savion is that it is infrastructure-independent. A “virtual infrastructure” eliminates need for local entity and base station. Furthermore, Savion+ is proven to work over any physical layer (2.4 GHz or other frequency).
Savion supports the following call types: private, group, broadcast and multi-session calls. A configurable priority feature enables the commander or scene supervisor to override other calls on the network.
Yes. The number of simultaneous voice or data sessions is dynamic and determined by the network configuration.
Savion supports 100 millisecond call setup, which is critical in first responder applications.
The number of users in a group is configurable and can vary from a minimum of 2 users to a maximum of all the users on the network.
Each Savion unit can serve as an access gateway to external networks (e.g., TETRA, VHF, TCPIP, WiMax, WiFi, satellite) via serial link. This allows two-way communication of data between headquarters and the field, as well as allowing expensive assets such as a satellite terminal to be shared between team members.
Yes. Savion provides unhampered mobility to soldiers, law enforcement officers and other mobile users in carrying out their tasks. Voice and broadband data communications are unaffected by movement and high-speed travel.
Using MaxTech's unique voice-optimized mobile mesh network, Savion is ideal in situations where personnel require guaranteed voice service – anywhere and anytime – even in the most challenging network and RF environmental conditions. This infrastructure-independent solution meets the exacting requirements of a wide variety of usage scenarios, including law enforcement, military and tactical, search and rescue, private security, construction sites, engineering projects and campus settings.
Yes. Savion can be operated in covert mode through the use of an audio kit for covert mode (ATEX certified) containing the following special accessories:
- Neckband headset with noise canceling microphone
- Throat microphone and speaker
- Remoter speaker microphone
- Earpiece
In addition, it includes a panic button that lets everyone in the network know that a team member is in trouble.
