Comrex BRIC
Comrex BRIC
The Comrex BRIC-Link is a low-cost, high-performance solution for audio-to-IP conversion. Leveraging many of the core technical aspects of Comrex's successful remote broadcast ACCESS product line, BRIC-Link provides for an elegant way of moving linear or compressed audio with very low delay. BRIC-Link is very simple to use, and can be used over a wide range of IP links. While it carries an entry-level cost, BRIC-Link maintains superb audio specifications and hardware reliability, making the system suitable for STLs and other mission-critical functions without the expense required of more full-featured codecs.
BRIC-Link is contained in a small desktop package. Two BRIC-Links may be installed to occupy 1U of rack space.
BRIC-Link is uniquely suited to point-to-point "nailed up" high-quality audio links over a variety of data networks, such as:
- ISM Band IP Radios
- T1/E1
- Satellite
- WANs and LANs
The robustness of the BRIC technology (Broadcast Reliable Internet Codec) used in the box allows the system to perform well on the public Internet as well (using AAC compression modes).
