Telephonics Core Products include a variety of analog and digital communication management systems designed to address a variety of platform requirements. These products also include a number of custom systems based on key Telephonics' intercommunication system technology that were developed to meet the unique requirements of specific platforms. Central to these core products are the STARCOM and TCOMSS systems. STARCOM is an analog intercom system that is scalable and configurable to applications varying from transport helicopters, to UAV operational shelters, and Air Cushion Landing Craft. TCOMSS is a fully digital system with extended functionality and user capabilities. Initially developed for large scale applications such as ISR aircraft, TCOMSS' flexibility and scalability have allowed its adaptation to new applications such as the U.S. Navy's MH-60R and MH-60S helicopters.

TCOMSS is a fully digital, open architecture communications management system. It is fully qualified for use in demanding airborne applications on platforms ranging from Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaisance (ISR) aircraft to shipborne helicopters. TCOMSS' flexibility and scalability also makes it a superior solution for dense applications with a large numbers of users and communications devices that are found on ships and ground control centers. Key characteristics and features of TCOMSS include the following:
*100 MBPS fiber optic network for high throughput, low latency audio and data transmission
*Distributed architecture with no single point of failure to ensure mission readiness
*COTS -based, VME architecture facilitiates system growth and functional upgrades
*Configurable user interfaces that can be adapted to mission specific requirements
*768 audio channels
*Selectable channel bandwidths - 3 kHz to 20 kHz to support devices and subsystems ranging from radios to sonobuoy receivers
*Intercom and conferencing capability
*Integrated radio and NAV management
*Radio relay
*Real-time modem and crypto switching and control
*Security provisions complying with both U.S. and International security standards

TCOMSS is specifically designed to process audio, data, and interfaces with a wide range of digital and analog communication equipment such as, receiver/transmitters, secure speech devices, communication/navigation/identification receivers. It also incorporates a MIL-STD-1553 bus controller to facilitate integration into advanced platform mission equipment suites.
