3G ALE long-range communications waveform

Codan Radio Communications has upgraded its 3G ALE long-range communications waveform, resulting in quicker voice and messaging, and a more robust communications link.

The third-generation (3G) Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) STANAG 4538 waveform is considered a robust and effective current standard with the shortest linking times, especially critical in difficult HF radio conditions.

With the upgrade now available on the Codan 2110 series Manpacks, Codan’s 3G ALE has the distinct advantages of offering up to 250 character text messages direct from the radio, delivered in the most challenging conditions, as well as faster and more robust linking of voice calls.

Other features include GPS position send/request for tracking purposes, AES-256 bit data traffic encryption and configurable operation for either predefined or self-learning networks, for ease of network maintenance. The Codan Adaptive Signaling Technology (CAST) waveform ensures maximum throughput by adapting the modulation scheme to the prevailing channel conditions.
