The Radio Gateway Switch (interoperability harness) is designed to enable radio operators to cross-connect radios of various brands and capabilities.
The traffic passed on is demodulated baseband audio which means two networks that are not interoperable can be linked while remaining in their respective COMSEC and TRANSEC modes.
The RGS includes signal conditioning and flexible cross-connect control which is more advanced than the standard Sat-Com Re-Bro and Repeater Harnesses as used between Sat-Com Radio equipment where the control and set-up of the radios cater for successful cross-connection.
The RGS is capable of facilitating that function when radios are used when such settings are not known or available.
