Codan Patrol Manpack HF portable radio pack

Codan Radio Communications has launched the Patrol Manpack, a high-frequency (HF) ‘manportable’ radio that builds on the 2110 Manpack series, suitable for military and critical communications missions.

The pack, which is comfortable to carry and suitable for all types of terrain and weather conditions, includes a rugged smart handset and waveform upgrades to provide good voice clarity comparable to cellular phones. It is available in two models: the standard Patrol 2110 designed for long range communications for humanitarian and public safety organisations and the Patrol 2110M with high-grade frequency hopping and advanced encryption.

The addition of the smart handset enables full radio control along with increased flexibility to locate the transceiver wherever it suits the operation. The handset is designed to meet user requirements for functionality and aesthetics while being built from high-impact plastics, capable of withstanding immersion to a depth of 1 m. The lightweight product offers a long battery life and is also equipped with 3G ALE for quicker linking and secure data messaging, as well as Digital Voice for clear communications.
