Codan's Sentry-HTM high frequency software-defined radio.

Codan Radio Communications has expanded its Sentry product family with the introduction of the Sentry-HTM high frequency software defined radio (SDR). 

Based on what the Australian vendor describes as the “proven” Envoy HF SDR platform, the Sentry-HTM is said to deliver an “advanced high-power radio solution with rugged and secure voice and data communications at an affordable price point”. 

Featuring high-power voice and data in a single RF unit, the new radio is equipped with second-generation digital voice, frequency hopping, embedded GPS, 3G ALE, and IP/USB connectivity. 

Codan says it is custom-built for mobile and base configurations, thus eliminating the need for an external amplifier and allowing for quick solutions during emergency situations.

The company adds that the system also features a smart handset and a simplified intuitive menu system with multiple language options. 

“At Codan we’ve addressed the most important issues for our customers — reliability, affordability, and ease-of-use. For government and militaries with tactical requirements, the Sentry-HTM is the smart and cost-effective choice” affirmed Paul Sangster, Codan’s VP of business development and marketing. 

The new Sentry-HTM radio expands Codan’s family of tactical solutions, which now includes the Codan Sentry-V (VHF) handheld, Codan Patrol 2110M (HF) manpack, and RIOS interoperability for computer, smartphone and radio integration.
