How do you handle encryption? |

The two links that are most frequently encrypted are the over-the-air link and the Wide-Area-Network link. Catalyst allows each agency to use its existing encryption scheme, if any, for each. For the over the air link, the mobile radio or base station performs the encryption/decryption. It provides base band, clear voice audio to the Catalyst Gateway. The Catalyst Gateway converts that audio to IP packets. If the agency chooses to encrypt its network traffic, these packets can be encrypted at the network layer and securely routed to other Gateways and to dispatchers. |
