The 6110-MP radio forms an integral part of the Sentry-H product family that meets the demands of the modern battlefield whilst offering full backwards compatibility with legacy products. The 6110-MP is one of the smallest, lightest form factor manpack HF radios available, delivering 30 Watt and up to 79 hours of battery life (power consumption 1.5A for battery life calculations) in less than 4.7 kg of weight without compromise on any capabilities.
Advanced ALE :
The 6110-MP includes the latest generation STANAG-4538-3G ALE technology providing the tactical user with fast linking and data capabilities. Mission critical messages, including digital voice messages, are transferred securely by employing link protection and data encryption. Synchronised scanning provides more efficient use of available spectrum. The 6110-MP is also fully interoperable with military transceivers using JITC certified MIL-STD-188-141B ALE. You can initiate NET, GROUP, and WILDCARD selective calls, along with a number of advanced calls including phone, message, GPS and status calls. Calls can be made ad-hoc or via fully pre-programmed entries in the contacts list using 3G ALE.
Codan's proprietary enhancement to ALE waveforms provides improved performance through monitoring channel conditions over a 24 hour period. This ensures that users can rapidly establish communications on the best channel for the time of day, without the need to initiate updates to the LQA information prior to calling, thus increasing network availability and performance.
Digital voice :
Codan's second generation digital voice technology utilises MELPe (Mixed-Excitation Linear Predictive enhanced) or TWELP (Tri-Wave Excited Linear Prediction) including latest addition of 300 bit/s and 480 bit/s vocoder rates to provide a major improvement in High Frequency (HF) voice communications. A fully digital mode, coupled with highly optimised vocoder technology, provides clarity and connectivity when traditional methods fail. Optional AES-256 encryption can be added to deliver a fully secure, high quality voice capability.
Frequency hopping :
The 6110-MP can be enabled with frequency hopping capability providing tactical networks with additional capability to prevent malicious jamming and signal interception. The user can select between up to 31 user programmable hop plans, each comprising a hop name, rate, bandwidth and encryption key. Additional information security can be achieved with the use of one time session PINs, and also combining frequency hopping with CES-128 voice encryption.
