PROVEN SOFTWARE-DEFINED ARCHITECTURE

Codan’s 6110-MP uses the latest-generation high-performance Digital Signal Processor
(DSP), Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and system on chip (SoC) technology.

Built upon a proven SDR platform with tens of thousands of hours of operation in the
field, the 6110-MP delivers market-leading performance and future upgradability through
software updates that support evolving standards and ensure sustainability.

IP/ETHERNET/USB CONNECTIVITY

The 6110-MP’s IP based design facilitates remote access and the front panel or 2320 Handset
USB port provide a convenient point for connecting the Codan TPS-M transceiver programming
and Codan data applications. Alternatively, a conventional USB flash drive can be
connected for radio profiling, COMSEC key fill and firmware upgrades in the field.

INTUITIVE INTERFACE AND LOCALISED LANGUAGES

The 6110-MP front panel and optional 2320 Handset user interfaces have been designed
with ruggedness, and ease of configuration and operation as primary objectives. The
colour display with intuitive icon-based menu system, coupled with an ability to switch
between multiple native languages (including data entry modes) ensures that you can
focus more on your mission and less on complex radio operations and training.

Additional languages available upon request.

Operator access to radio configuration parameters can be easily locked down or made
available, depending on your mission requirements.

DUAL HANDSET CONTROL

The 6110-MP has full support for H-250 audio accessories but is also fully compatible
with the 2320 Smart Handset. With a built in speaker and GPS, the 2320 handset provides
direct access to core operations remote from the radio, highly suited to on the move
communications.

SWAP OPTIMISED

The 6110-MP can be configured with a standard size, high capacity BB-2590 style
rechargeable battery, resulting in an overall unit weight of less than 4.7kg and providing an
industry leading battery life of up to 79 hours.

The 6110-MP is now offered with a shorter battery compartment and compatible
rechargeable battery that effectively makes it the smallest and lightest HF manpack radio
available today with a weight of less than 4kg. Even with the lower capacity battery the
radio will still provide an impressive battery life of up to 23 hours.

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.

*JITC certification pending

LQA RAPID

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.

PRESET SUPPORT

Tactical communications users often require an ability to quickly
switch between different radio configurations to communicate
with different units or in different ways without re-programming
the equipment. Until recently, Codan supported this requirement
via Secure Interoperability on a Channel level as well as the Select
Active HF Network features. The new Presets feature further
improves Sentry-H family capabilities. A Preset is a predefined set
of configurations and settings, which includes:

GPS SUPPORT

The 6110-MP has an integrated GPS antenna and receiver built in
to the front panel and optional 2320 Handset with GPS, GLONASS
and BEIDOU navigation systems supported. The front panel
has a connection point for an external remote GPS antenna for
challenging conditions.

Position data display format is user selectable and includes UTM,
UPS and MGRS formats. Your distance and bearing from a remote
HF station or waypoint can be displayed graphically via the user
interface.

OVER THE AIR WAYPOINTS

The user interface facilitates straightforward sharing of waypoints
over the air with other users. The message call mechanism
provides an intuitive method to select, include and transmit multiple
waypoints from the waypoint list. Upon receiving a message call
containing waypoints, the waypoints can be saved to the waypoint
list, and also used for immediate distance & bearing plots. This
feature greatly simplifies the process of sharing and tracking geo­location information amongst a group of radio users.

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. Compatible with
AES-256 encryption and Frequency Hopping options.

An optional open protocol version of Digital Voice is also available
to enable interoperability between Codan and other vendor radios.

• A fixed channel/frequency or a scanning mode with a group of
active HF networks

• Digital Voice state, rate and active waveform

• Encryptor and secure key index

• Hopping state and hopping plan index

• Transmit power as well as values for up to 32 transceiver
settings.

The Preset capability allows an operator to quickly switch between
different modes/operational scenarios to communicate with
different parties or re-configure the equipment on a fly for different
missions, ensuring that radio assets remain flexible to meet your
mission needs.

DATA WAVEFORMS

The 6110-MP is hardware ready for data mode and is delivered
with the Codan 2400 bit/s robust data modem as standard. This
data waveform is supported with the Codan Chat application
providing peer-to-peer text chat, email, and file transfer with a
simple GUI that supports multiple languages.

The optional STANAG 3G ALE provides fast linking and data capability,
when combined with Sprint Chat/Net application, that is capable
of exceeding the performance experienced with traditional MIL­STD-188-110 2G data. Codan 3G ALE supports all call types
including digital voice message calls and SMS text (via Sprint Net
stations).

The 6110-MP may be software upgraded to full MIL-STD/STANAG
data capability with data rates up to 19k2 bps (with ISB) using the
Codan RC50-C HF email application.

COMSEC

A range of COMSEC options are available with the 6110-MP, from
CES-128 grade voice encryption through to AES-256 encryption of
digital voice, STANAG 4538 3G ALE and STANAG/MIL-STD data.
The AES-256 encryption supports up to 255 secure keys with
additional layers of protection possible by incorporating unique
radio identifiers.

All voice encryption options can be activated by a single hotkey,
and are fully integrated with core radio functions like Selcall and
ALE calling to ensure simplicity of operation. The Secure Interop
feature enables configuration of the 6110-MP to automatically
control encryption on specified networks/channels.

Codan Key Management software is used to generate the key files,
and Codan Key Fill software or a USB flash drive may be used to
load the keys to the radio.

ECCM (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.

Frequency hopping is now compatible with Digital Voice and 2G
MIL/STANAG data waveforms to further extend ECCM capabilities.
Available Digital Voice vocoder rates and 2G data rates are
dependant on selected hopping rate, ISB data is not supported in
frequency hopping mode.

WARRANTY, SERVICE AND SUPPORT

Codan provides proven product reliability and performance,
backed up by our standard three year warranty. The ability to
independently sustain your equipment, complimented by field
upgradable unique option codes, enables you to truly utilise SDR
technology should your mission change features can easily be
enabled.
