Azbell Electronics Fields MVAD® NETOPS and MVAD® Operations Shelters

Azbell Electronics deployed one of its most experienced Field Engineers to Camp Liberty Iraq in early 2008 to support Soldiers setting up a customized MVAD® Voice, Video, and Data Network Operations (NETOPS) Shelter and its two associated MVAD® Operations Shelters for their Division Headquarters.

Phillip Remington, certified by AMX University as both a Designer and as an Installer, provided on-site training and support for the Soldiers who will operate the three expandable shelters. The MVAD® suite was designed and built specifically to support the division’s security, deployment, and Command & Control requirements.

The MVAD® suite gives the division a rapidly deployable forward tactical operations center with extensive Audio/Visual, communications, and data capabilities. The suite, whose technical capabilities are listed below, also includes cooling units, generators, and power converters allowing optional use of commercial Iraqi power (50HZ).

The MVAD® NETOPS shelter contains:
       a. A complete distributed audio-video network controlled by a MVAD® Touch Panel Control System that controls the flow of information throughout the area simply by touching icons on the screen to select video/computer/audio feeds and send them to a one or more displays or speakers located throughout the Headquarters.
       b. A secure video-teleconference system that can be distributed to all three shelters.
       c. Two separate data networks and services for two different levels of security classifications in support of the MVAD® suite of shelters.
       d. Support for up to two high-speed (T1) stand-alone communications circuits.
       e. Network Servers and routers.
       f. Provision for Government furnished encryption devices.

Each of the MVAD® Operations shelters contain:
       a. Integrated data network drops.
       b. Integrated video/RGB input drops.
       c. An Integrated VTC Camera.
       d. An Integrated projection system that can be subdivided into four windows.
       e. Two integrated large screen display that can be subdivided into two windows.

The MVAD® Voice, Video, and Data Network Operations (NETOPS) Shelter and two MVAD® Operations Shelters were successfully fielded in less than thirty days and were immediately utilized to support current operations.
