It is designed for digital and analogue voice and for data transmission. Thanks to its built-in IP technology, the Envoy can be controlled regardless of the user&#8217;s location \u2014 in practice, from anywhere in the world with Internet access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes remote programming, software updates and changes to the transceiver configuration and settings possible without sending engineers to the radio site or returning the radio to a service centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also simplifies remote diagnosis of faults in the transceiver, power supplies and antennas.<br>As a result, operating costs fall significantly and staff are used more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A user interface with Cyrillic support and a smartphone-style control panel make the transceiver quick to learn and intuitive to operate.<br>The transceiver has a built-in two-antenna switching system, which matters when the same radio works both in a local tactical network and on long-haul links to headquarters.<br>These tasks normally require two different antenna systems at the same time.<br>In the Envoy, the antennas are switched automatically as the radio moves from one network to another, including while scanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Codan Envoy\u2122 digital transceivers provide reliable communications with excellent voice quality and data capability where no other means of communication are available.<br>HF communications with the Codan Envoy\u2122 need no infrastructure: stations communicate point-to-point and point-to-multipoint without intermediate nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Envoy\u2122 is a scalable system solution for building both local tactical and long-haul HF networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital signal processing and digital voice deliver excellent speech quality even in the noisiest conditions. A vocoder designed specifically for HF removes noise and interference on the channel, including deliberate jamming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the key advantages of the transceiver is that it requires no special HF operating skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Codan Envoy\u2122 transceivers include built-in IP capability for remote control without additional devices or accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Excellent communications quality<\/li><li>Compatible with analogue HF radios<\/li><li>Next-generation compressed digital voice vocoder<\/li><li>Automatic antenna switching<\/li><li>125 W output power<\/li><li>Outstanding technical specifications<\/li><li>Programming and configuration upload via USB<\/li><li>Scalable architecture<\/li><li>Remote control over IP<\/li><li>Ethernet \/ USB connectivity<\/li><li>High-resolution colour display<\/li><li>Multilingual graphical user interface<\/li><li>Built-in data modem (military- or commercial-grade modem options)<\/li><li>CES\/AES voice and data encryption<\/li><li>Transceiver programming software<\/li><li>Remote desk console for fixed installations<\/li><li>Supported calling systems<\/li><li>4\/6-digit Selcall based on CCIR 493-4 (compatible with the UN open selective calling system)<\/li><li>FED-STD-1045 ALE<\/li><li>MIL-STD-188-141B ALE<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dual antenna selector lets you use different antenna types and pick the best signal<\/li><li>Multilingual user interface and graphical icons make the transceiver simple and convenient for today&#8217;s users<\/li><li>GPS position reporting lets you always know where your staff are<\/li><li>USB Smartloader for programming, configuring and updating the transceiver via USB<\/li><li>Voice and data encryption options (export licence required)<\/li><li>Recording of operator Rx and Tx audio via the GPIO connector<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Humanitarian organisations<\/li><li>Emergency and rescue services<\/li><li>Ambulance services<\/li><li>Industrial companies<\/li><li>Air navigation services<\/li><li>Railway operators<\/li><li>Oil and gas companies<\/li><li>Mining companies<\/li><li>Emergency management agencies<\/li><li>Border guards<\/li><li>Security services<\/li><li>Armed forces<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GENERAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Channel capacity<\/td><td>Up to 1000 single- or two-frequency simplex channels<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scanning<\/td><td>Up to 20 scan groups<br>Simultaneous scanning of different calling systems (ALE \/ CCIR Selcall) and voice.
