About Us

TELEGRID is a Woman-Owned Small Business founded in 1984. The company is focused on the development and production of innovative hardware and software products that facilitate communication systems integration. Many of TELEGRID’s products are used by the US military to interface legacy equipment to modern advanced systems as part of the ongoing transformation process. TELEGRID’s products fall into four major categories.

1. COMSEC Equipment Buffers – Products in this category are used to interface legacy voice and data encryption devices such as KY-57, KY-58, KY-99 and KY-100 to radio and satellite transmission facilities. These products employ buffer technology developed by TELEGRID for local and remote connections. This category includes the KY-57 single, dual and triple buffers (P/N KYB-701, KYB-702 and KYB-703 respectively). It also includes the SRA-105 and SRA-851 satellite remote adapters. TELEGRID-developed and produced Voice Orderwire Control Device is deployed world-wide in all DoD STEP (Strategic/ Tactical Entry Point) and Teleport sites.

2. Resource Management Tools – Products in this category, also known as Remote SNMP Proxies, allow remote monitoring and control of communication resources over LANs using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as part of an overall Network Management System (NMS). All products include a hardware agent, a MIB and device manager software. Examples include the KIV-19 SNMP managers (P/N RSP-100, RSP-104 and RSP-116) and the KIV-7 SNMP managers (P/N RSP-714 and RSP-716).

3. Wireless Ad Hoc Networks – This category includes products which form the TELEGRID WZRDnet^TM Wireless Ad-Hoc Network. This system is based on low power networks including IEEE 802.15.4 standard (commercially known as ZigBee^R), 6LoWPAN, etc. and is used to communicate voice and text messages, sensor data, and GPS position location information in the field without the need for cellular towers. Components of the network include the WZRD Handheld Terminal, a family of WZRD Sensor Units, the WZRD Relay Terminal and the WZRD Actuator.

4. Special Purpose Devices – Products in this category are custom products developed to satisfy specific customer requirements. They range from the SP-BSN-01 cable surge protector to the JBX-789 airborne headphone intercom system. TELEGRID’s capabilities include:
    - Requirements analysis (including reverse engineering)
    - System design
    - Hardware and embedded software design
    - Printed circuit boards (PCBs) design and layout
    - Embedded software (DSP, FPGA) development and coding
    - Prototype production, test and evaluation
    - Equipment manufacture
    - System integration
    - Logistic and depot support (maintenance and spare parts).

In addition to product development and production, TELEGRID’s experience-base includes providing system engineering and technical support to major US Army and Joint planning and acquisition programs. Organizations supported by TELEGRID included the Joint TRI-TAC organization and the US Army’s JTACS, MSCS and WIN-T organizations. TELEGRID provided support generating technical specifications and other procurement documents and in participating in source selection and evaluation boards.
