Tactical Access Unit


The TAU is an advanced crew workstation with a built-in network switch, developed for use in armoured vehicles. TAU provides clear communication between crew members inside a vehicle and externally over combat net radios and field cables, but also allows up to 4 option cards to provide up to 16 (depending on interface type) access interfaces to the network.

Highly modular
TAU is a small switch in its own right and capable of handling between 4 and 16 different interface connections depending on the customer requirements. The TAU offers 4 option slots which can be used for Ethernet, video, voice, low speed data, vehicle information systems etc. The number of available interfaces is always growing and dedicated interfaces can be developed quite easily.

Reliable solution
Fiber optic connections between TAUs provide high performance networking and the required redundancy in the network. Highly robust cables and connectors can be used to provide interconnection upto 1.5km distance.

Outstanding intelligibility
Using the latest digital transmission technology, voice is distributed over the system providing excellent quality. Using Digital Signal Processors (DSP), any noise will be filtered out and the system will switch on automatically in case of any voice communication.

Advance Human-Machine Interface
Whilst providing a simple HMI, the flexibility and extendibility is a very strong point for SmartNet. Any function that is required by the user can be offered on the softkey controlled unit. Re-programming the functionality of the system with a few keypresses is the trademark of this highly advanced but user-friendly system. If required a complete Management Information System can be operated from a TAU but also a industry-standard based MIS can be used.
