Link 22 dual Signal Processing Controller SPC 1920 (Germany), Data and text

Development
The NATO Improved Link 11 (NILE), designated Link 22 by NATO, allows users to access, and contribute to, tactical real-time information in a controlled manner. Information is exchanged in a format specified by the Link 22 message standard for F-series messages.The SPC 1920 is a platform hosting two independent Link 22 SPCs. The installation height of 1U makes it suitable for naval applications.

Description
The SPC 1920 supports all four media types of Link 22: HF with Fixed Frequency operation (HF-FF); HF with Electronic Protection Measures (HF-EPM); UHF with Fixed Frequency operation (UHF-FF); and UHF with Electronic Protection Measures (UHF-EPM).Each SPC hosted by the SPC 1920 will be configured independently by the Link 22 SNC to a desired communication media. Manual intervention during operation is neither required nor permitted.The software-defined SPC 1920 can be upgraded to new applications by uploading software to its service interface. Development of new Link 22 high-speed HF FF waveforms by the contractor was complete by mid-2009.According to the contractor, in 2009 the SPC 1920 was the only Link 22 SPC supporting the Joint Interface Control Officer (JICO) by radio remote control. As such, network maintenance based on link quality information can control RF power and frequency management.
