RV2 — Radio Voice Bridge

Overview

The RapidM RV2 is a purpose-built radio voice bridge designed to interface with two different radios simultaneously. It enables operators to monitor, select, and cross-connect audio networks, effectively forming a seamless bridge between separate radio systems while maintaining full monitoring and transmission capabilities.

Technical Summary

Dimensions: 165 x 96 x 37 mm

• Weight: 800 g
• Power Input: 6 to 36 VDC
• Environmental Qualification: MIL-STD-810F (immersion up to 1m for 30 min, humidity, shock, vibration, dust)
• EMI/EMC Qualification: MIL-STD-461

Operational Use Cases

Used to bridge two distinct tactical radio networks by cross-connecting audio from Radio 1 to Radio 2. Operators can monitor incoming calls or radio activity from a distance using internal waterproof speakers, or utilize a handset/headset interface to speak onto both radio networks even while they are bridged.

Deployment Environments

Engineered for rugged tactical and vehicle-mounted environments. Its MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461 qualifications ensure reliable operation in settings exposed to immersion, dust, shock, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.

Performance Metrics

• Audio Processing: Continuous Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
• Level Normalization: Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

Setup & Portability

Housed in a compact tactical enclosure weighing 800 grams and measuring 165 x 96 x 37 mm. It integrates easily into mobile or vehicle deployments utilizing standard 6 to 36 VDC power systems.

Compatibility

Compatible with standard 6 to 36 VDC vehicle power sources and designed to interface with two different radio transceivers simultaneously.

FAQs

• What is the primary function of a radio voice bridge? It interfaces with two different radios simultaneously, allowing operators to cross-connect audio between them to merge separate radio networks.
• How does the unit manage varying audio input levels? The system utilizes Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to automatically adjust and normalize audio levels, alongside continuous Voice Activity Detection (VAD).
• What power supply is required for this unit? The device operates on a wide input range of 6 to 36 VDC, making it compatible with standard vehicle power systems.
• Problems we solve: where do we start with incomplete requirements? An incomplete specification can make product selection difficult. Start by sharing the task, operating environment and known constraints with Cyntony so the team can help define what to verify and which options are worth discussing (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what comes from working through the requirements? The practical outcome is a requirements-led set of product options to evaluate with Cyntony. Confirm performance, compatibility and any service scope for your configuration before selection (Our process).

Video Notes

A short demonstration showing the process of cross-connecting two tactical radios and the function of the Automatic Gain Control during active monitoring would be highly valuable for buyers.
