Codan SDR in use with humanitarian organisation

Codan Radio Communications, a division of Codan Limited (ASX-CDA), has announced the successful deployment of its Envoy HF Software-Defined Radio (SDR) with a leading global humanitarian organisation.

The humanitarian organisation, with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, provides humanitarian help for people affected by conflict and armed violence across 80 countries, with a mandate to help victims of war.

Envoy is being deployed by the organisation to provide vital communications in war-torn areas with limited communications infrastructure. Envoy provides personnel with a reliable communication link back to base. With GPS tracking, Envoy also helps base operations know the location of their personnel and track their movements.

Envoy has an easy-to-use, icon-based interface and quick call options and is backwards compatible with the Codan NGT HF radio series and its accessories. Envoy can be customised to suit specific needs, such as languages, welcome screens and complete configurability of settings.

Recent capability updates include an embedded MIL-STD modem for high-speed data and email, upgraded IP connectivity, USB configurability, new language upgrades and a dual antenna option.
