12-20267-EN Issue 12 11/2017

Codan’s second generation Digital Voice (DV) technology provides a
quantum leap in voice communications. It significantly reduces the hiss,
crackle, pops, and multipath effects typical of HF. The vocoders used
provide voice quality experience that is similar to cellular phones, and the
modem technology ensures continued operation in degraded and fading
channels.
When analog SSB mode is needed, Envoy’s patented Easitalk™ DSP
algorithm works to actively remove background noise and interfering
tones. During transmission, Codan’s TalkPower feature dynamically
compresses and shapes the frequency response of the voice signal to
maximise transmit power and intelligibility. A syllabic squelch only
opens the speaker mute when speech signals are present to eliminate
background noise.

SOFTWARE-DEFINED ARCHITECTURE
Envoy uses latest-generation high-performance Digital Signal Processor
(DSP), Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and microprocessor
technology. This provides market-leading performance and future
upgradability through software updates to install new capabilities and
support evolving standards.

IP / ETHERNET / USB CONNECTIVITY
Envoy IP / Ethernet connectivity enables centralised programming,
maintenance and operation of network connected stations. Envoy
handsets and consoles include USB ports for convenient programming
and maintenance via conventional USB cable connection or via attached
memory stick.

UNPARALLELED RF PERFORMANCE
Envoy’s strong RF performance is paramount to effective long range
communications. Unlike many Software-Defined Radios, Envoy provides
specifications superior or equal to high-end analog products. For
example, to maximise range, receiver sensitivity is a massive -125 dBm,
and blocking is greater than 100 dB, minimising chances of interference
from adjacent stations. Envoy’s transmitter is also extremely clean,
with carrier, spurious and harmonics more than 65 dB below PEP. Envoy
also supports connection of dual antennas for short and long range
propagation.

HF RADIO

To minimise training burden for nonEnglish speaking users, Envoy’s user
interface is also made available in a
variety of other languages.

ALE AND SELCALL CALLING
CAPABILITY
The Envoy includes the latest
generation 3G Automatic Link
Establishment (ALE) technology
providing the user with fast linking
and data capabilities. Messages are
transferred securely by employing link
protection and data encryption. Envoy
supports current calling standards
including CCIR compliant Selcall,
FED-STD-1045 ALE and JITC Certified
MIL-STD-188-141B ALE. Envoy enables
concurrent operation of different
calling systems, and automatically
optimises channel scan times. This
ensures full interoperability with earlier
generation Codan, competitor and
legacy radios.

INTEGRAL DATA CAPABILITY

For communications up to “top secret”
classification, AES 256-bit security is
available for both Digital Voice and
data encryption, supported with up
to 256 internally pre-programmed
encryption keys
For voice only applications, Codan’s
CES-128 DSP-based encryption
option is available, with up to 97
16-digit user programmable keys. An
additional layer of security is provided
by assigning a PIN number during a
secure communications session.

Envoy is designed using a modular
approach, with a handset for mobile
applications and a desk console for
bases. The use of IP over Ethernet
enables geographical separation
of radio and console, without the
need for expensive adaptor devices.
Envoy can also be supplied in rapidly
deployable cases.

Envoy supports connection of GPS
via NMEA0183 compatible GPS
receivers. This enables polling and
sending of GPS positions over air.
Distance and bearing to other users
or programmable waypoints can be
displayed on an intuitive graphical
display. When used with mapping
software deployed mobiles vehicles
can be graphically tracked.

Envoy also supports Codan’s robust
low-rate data modem waveform,
which is compatible with our 3012
/ 3212 external modems. This
modem supports data operation
to 2400 bit/s (typically 6000 bit/s
including compression). It’s available
with Windows based Email / Chat
software, or can be used for custom
data / telemetry applications via
its standards-based AT command
interface.

For basic voice security, the CIVS
option provides a 32 code DSP-based
scrambler.
All voice encryption options for
Envoy can be activated by a single
hotkey, and are fully integrated with
core Radio functions like Selcall and
ALE scanning to ensure simplicity of
operation. Envoy can be configured to
automatically set the encryptor type
and key index per channel or network.
This enables interoperability between
Codan HF networks operating with
disparate encryption types.

Both of these options are supported
by Codan’s Key Management Software
(KMS) application suite, which
enables generation, management and
deployment of keys. For convenience,
keys can also be filled using a
conventional USB memory stick.

Envoy supports MIL-STD-188-110A/B
high-speed data operation up to 9600
bit/s. The modem uses interleavers,
tone-excision and turbo-decoding
for optimum performance in difficult
channels. When combined with
Codan’s STANAG 5066 compliant
RC50-C Email software, email over HF
can be achieved from standard SMTP/
POP email clients such as Microsoft®
Outlook. Emails are automatically
compressed and the data rate is
optimised to channel conditions.

MODELS

For optimal user safety, Envoy includes
a dedicated Emergency key. This can
be configured to automatically contact
one or more stations, embedding
the Envoy’s GPS coordinates into the
emergency signal.

Envoy’s ALE also includes Codan
Automated Link Management (CALM™).
This technology is fully compatible
with conventional standardsbased ALE, but includes significant
proprietary enhancements to improve
performance. As an example, ALE
LQA is internally recorded in a threedimensional matrix against time. This
results in far reduced on-air soundings
and improved probability of linking.
CALM™ also includes special call types
including “first-in-list” for fastest
possible link, and “best-in-list” for
optimised data.

Envoy has a choice of encryption
options to suit the required level of
communications security.

VERSATILE DESIGN FOR MOBILE,
BASE AND COMPLEX SYSTEMS

Envoy’s large high-resolution, sunlightreadable colour display, and intuitive
menu system makes operation similar
to modern smartphones. Making
calls is as simple as navigating to
your contact list, locating the desired
contact and pressing the “call” button.
Other common actions are supported
through customisable hotkeys for
single or multiple step operations.

ENCRYPTION

08-03255

08-05627-00x

Codan’s Windows-based TPS-3250
Radio programming software can
be used to build profiles, which can
be conveniently deployed via direct
connection, IP or USB memory stick.
Once profiled, Envoy can be easily
locked down using an administrator
PIN, ensuring important settings are
not tampered with.

Selcall provides the capability to
voice or message call an individual
radio, group of radios, or broadcast
to all radios. ALE also provides these
capabilities, plus built-in intelligence
to automatically select the optimum
channel (frequency) to ensure the best
chance of linking and the clearest signal.
The MIL-STD ALE option adds NET
calling (similar to Talkgroups), on-air Link
Quality Assessment (LQA) exchange,
and advanced addressing types.
