OMNIxiTM is L-3 CS-E's voice, modem data and high-speed data encryptor
to support Type-1 security requirements. The OMNIxiTM adds Type-1
security to any standard commercial telephone and offers toll quality secure voice Supporting SCIP protocol.
The SCIP Protocol ensures interoperability with STE terminals, CONDOR wireless handsets, and other SCIP devices.
OMNIxiTM is a cost effective way to transition from legacy STU-III
equipment. Connecting an OMNIxiTM with a STU-III for voice communication
provides improved voice quality while still allowing secure STU-III to STU-III calls in a bypass mode.
