 FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Codan’s Envoy HF Radio delivers dependable, clear, trouble-

free voice, messaging and data communications, without

dependence on existing infrastructure. Now with Codan’s

second generation Digital Voice technology, Envoy provides

outstanding voice clarity in conditions where competing HF

radios fail.

EXCEPTIONAL DIGITAL AND ANALOG VOICE CLARITY

Codan’s second generation Digital Voice (DV) technology provides a

quantum leap in voice communications. It signifi cantly 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-Defi ned Radios, Envoy provides

specifi cations 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.

QUICK DEPLOYMENT AND INTUITIVE

OPERATION

Codan’s Windows-based TPS-3250

Radio programming software can

be used to build profi les, which can

be conveniently deployed via direct

connection, IP or USB memory stick.

Once profi led, Envoy can be easily

locked down using an administrator

PIN, ensuring important settings are

not tampered with.

Envoy’s large high-resolution, sunlight-

readable 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.

For optimal user safety, Envoy includes

a dedicated Emergency key. This can

be confi gured to automatically contact

one or more stations, embedding

the Envoy’s GPS coordinates into the

emergency signal.

To minimise training burden for non-

English 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 Certifi ed

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.

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.

Envoy’s ALE also includes Codan

Automated Link Management (CALM™).

This technology is fully compatible

with conventional standards-

based ALE, but includes signifi cant

proprietary enhancements to improve

performance. As an example, ALE

LQA is internally recorded in a three-

dimensional matrix against time. This

results in far reduced on-air soundings

and improved probability of linking.

CALM™ also includes special call types

including “fi rst-in-list” for fastest

possible link, and “best-in-list” for

optimised data.

INTEGRAL DATA CAPABILITY

Envoy suppor ts 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 diffi cult

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.

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.

ENCRYPTION

Envoy has a choice of encryption

options to suit the required level of

communications security.

For communications up to “top secret”

classifi cation, 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.

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 fi lled using a

conventional USB memory stick.

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 confi gured 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.

GPS SUPPORT

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.

VERSATILE DESIGN FOR MOBILE,

BASE AND COMPLEX SYSTEMS

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.
