"Air Force One" telephone system, the materials used like "Iron Man" accessories

Although Ford (Harrison Ford) has tried to showcase the U.S. presidential drive in a large number of Air force numbers, it is still a mysterious place, according to foreign media reports. While the White House photos occasionally reveal the side corners of the air Force, who notices the phone equipment above?

But in every sense, the best place to represent top telecom is the Air Force number one. The telephone equipment on the U.S. presidential drive dates back to the 1980s, until August 2012, when new phones were replaced. The new equipment, which will be 2 years old in August, has many different models and is even built with materials much like the Iron Man suit.

Through many of the photos Obama made on the Air Force number one, we can see that the new telephone system is made up of custom brackets and handsets. Air Force number one has telephones in Obama's office and conference rooms, brown and gold, to match the color of a wooden fur coat. The phones placed elsewhere on the plane are standard grey. In the boardroom, these telephones also have rubber pads to avoid slipping when they are placed on the table.

The newly installed phones on the Air Force number one are airborne execution telephones, made by L-3 Communications (L-3 Communications). L-3 Communications, a military contractor, also produces STE confidential telephones, which are widely used by U.S. and U.S. governments.

Airborne execution telephones are capable of making confidential and unclassified calls through a single handset, as well as digital voice and network data access features that provide multiple independent security levels (ListBox independent levels of the). This provides a reliable connection for the end users in the administrative office environment, enhances the coordination work ability as well as the security.

Airborne execution telephones are only an integral part of the L-3 Communications Company's global Security Information Management System (GSIMS). Gsims is a secure airborne communication system based on IP system, which has the advantages of modularization, scalability and scalability. It integrates existing analog telephony, digital broadcasting, and intercom systems to create an ip-based architecture that provides reliable connectivity, secure video conferencing, and controllable wireless connectivity. This system can be manipulated by only one operator.

L-3 Communications, which advertised the gsims system, claims that Gsims is the most advanced secure communications system for VIP customers and heads of State, and that its wired handset looks as cool as a wireless handset.

In 2009, L-3 Telecom received a contract to install new telephone equipment on the Air Force One (Boeing VC-25 aircraft), worth 81 million of dollars. The contract includes the installation of software and hardware equipment for on-board information management systems, which will modernize the communications system on the Air Force, replace outdated analog telephone systems, provide fixed-bandwidth switching and integrated Secure/unclassified video conferencing, and install seamless passenger information interfaces.

The airborne execution phone appears to have been developed first by the Telecore company, which also produced IST-2 calls for the U.S. Defense Red Switching Network (DRSN). The National Defense Red Switching Network is also a stand-alone device that can be used to access confidential and unclassified telephones. Perhaps the Telecore company sold the airborne execution phone to L-3 communications.

As the L-3 communications company AD shows, confidential calls are shown by red LEDs, and non-confidential phones display green LEDs. Both of these LEDs are mounted on the back of the microphone, and the green light will light up when the succoured phone is connected. The red light will light up when a secret call is made, meaning the phone is highly encrypted.

Initially, the entire Air force was fitted with two telephones, consisting of a bracket and a so-called old G-style handset, one white and the other beige. The white handset may receive the succoured secret telephone, the beige is then to call the secret telephone. The phones were the first to be installed on the Air Force as President Ronald Reagan (Ronald Reagan).

Following the installation of a new voice IP secure telephone network from 2007 to 2008, Cisco's 7975G Unified IP Telephony, which uses the network, is also installed on the Air Force number one, and the White House maintains contact with most senior policymakers. Now, these different phones have been replaced by airborne execution telephones, which can be connected to a common and highly secure telephone network.
