FONET is a set of devices and their software creating a unified data exchange base between military vehicles on the battlefield. The FONET system is built on the basis of a central unit that acts as a hub of components of the system. Since the system also works in distributed IP networks, central units can occur as network elements that share system elements to which the former are connected.

Crew members’ desktops, computers and radio communication devices are connected directly to the central unit. Desktops of the system are equipped with headset connectors and many different interfaces, allowing ,for example, for integration of data ports of other vehicle’s systems (detectors of chemical contamination, laser radiation warning systems, navigation systems, etc.) and enabling to include these systems in the communication network created by FONET.

The FONET central unit is a high-efficiency communication server with the Ethernet links and the possibility of IP addressing. Thanks to the VoIP functionality, the central unit can be used in the construction of extensive communication networks without compromising capabilities, enabling access to each mean of communication, available on the battlefield. The FONET system features allow to build modern network-centric battlefield management systems around it.
