SOTAS from Thales is a digital intercommunication system that establishes a voice and data connection between the individual vehicle crews. This includes the connection of data terminal devices, radios and headsets. Voice and data packages are switched based on the IP protocol via the built-in switch or router.
The use of an intercommunication system inside the vehicle is subject to the safety instructions on the limit value of the permissible noise level at the workplace.
Since 2007, SOTAS has already been used more than a thousand times in Germany in almost all vehicle types such as Puma, Boxer, Leopard, Fuchs, Enok, Mungo and in various installation kits and variants.
The SOTAS product family consisting of various modularly combinable network units, crew stations and server platforms is now used in approx. 30 countries, approx. 30,000 vehicles and approx. 50 vehicle types worldwide. The hardware and software components of the SOTAS product family are continuously adapted to the technical development and always offer the highest degree of technically achievable functions.
