The PacStar 6800 is a full-featured, IP-based, high-reliability, tandem switch, and PBX for military enterprise infrastructure. It features an advanced, Cisco-based UC platform in an integrated package that includes Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM).

The system is JITC-certified and meets the SMEO requirements of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for voice and communications services. It can connect to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and to the Defense Switched Network (DSN), and supports subtending switches.
The PacStar 6800 enables IP-converged services based on the Cisco UC platform, and brings the power of scalable IP communications to commercial and military enterprise infrastructure.
The system enables a smooth migration from legacy TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) to EoIP (Everything over IP), and scales to support up to 30,000 VoIP and 7900 analog/ISDN BRI phones. With seamless IQ-Core Software integration with the REDCOM® HDX, the PacStar 6800 provides extensive interoperability for all JITC required TDM, analog and BRI interfaces, conferencing requirements, and SS7 signalling.
The system comes in a standard 19 in. rack-mount form factor, suitable for base infrastructure.
Management of current UC systems is complex and confusing due to multiple user interfaces, extensive training requirements, and long setup times.
The PacStar 6800 is managed through PacStar's system management software, IQ-Core Software, which simplifies system setup and management, protects the system from misconfiguration by preventing many operator errors, and reduces training and support requirements.
IQ-Core Software extends functionality and reduces operating conflicts, which reduces the need for IT personnel to maintain and operate communications equipment.
