Codan Radio Communications’ Sentry-H high frequency radio has received the US Department of Defense’s (DoD) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification, the company announced on 14 November.
JITC verifies the interoperability of all products used in DoD networks. The JITC certification confirms that Codan’s Sentry-H radio system is qualified as meeting the automatic link establishment (ALE) requirements of MIL-STD-188-141B, performance and interoperability standards for medium and high frequency (HF) radio devices.
The ALE rapidly selects the best frequency available for a radio operator initiating a call, alerting the operators on both ends to facilitate immediate communications. Simultaneously, ALE automatically scans predefined channels and chooses the best channel available which eases the burden on the radio operator and the network as a whole.
The Sentry-H radio system can now be used for US military operations, humanitarian and UN peacekeeper efforts.
