The Stratus Tactical Controller is based on the Stratus Controller technology and is housed in a rapidly deployable,
rugged, compact watertight polyethylene transportable case that can be located anywhere in the world with a
cellular 3G or 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) connection. The portable network connection is achieved using the
same Sierra Wireless cellular modem found in all Stratus Repeaters.
The Stratus Tactical Controller will route calls between multiple Stratus Repeaters. The Controller receives the digital
audio and control signals from the VHF/UHF repeaters via the cellular IP link and routes the P25 communications
within the network, with all encrypted calls routed transparently.
The Stratus Tactical Controller has the same capabilities as the Stratus Controller except the VPN server has
a limitation of 10 Stratus repeater / console connections. The Stratus Tactical Controller has the advantage of
keeping all control and routing outside of the existing network, and IT organization. The VPN server encrypts all
communications over the Stratus network.
The Stratus Tactical Controller includes the following:
• soft grip handle and press and pull latches.
• internal cellular modem.
• external interface connectors for DC power input.
• 110/220 VAC (auto-switching) to 12 VDC external power supply (22A).
• an RJ45 Ethernet connector for direct connection to network or console.

Tactical Controller is 14.2” (36.1 cm) wide, 6.5” (16.5 cm) high and 11.4” (28.9 cm) deep, and weighs
