Codan Radio Communications has announced the launch of their second generation Digital Voice technology for the Envoy High Frequency (HF) smart radio.

Codan’s new voice coding technology provides greater clarity of voice over a range of rates from 2,400 bps to 600 bps, proving optimum performance in varying conditions, a capability unmatched on competing commercial HF radios.

“The new Digital Voice technology on Envoy is a quantum leap for HF communications. People consider HF old technology with the hiss and crackle – but now with Envoy, it has the ease of use of a smart phone, and most importantly, now sounds like one,” Paul McCarter, Codan’s executive general manager of the Radio Communications Division said.

Envoy’s second generation Digital Voice technology supports the standards STANAG 4591 (MELPe), MIL-STD-188-141B ALE and AES-256 encryption, while also including a propriety vocoder mode which provides the superior voice performance compared to MELPe.

Additional enhancements on the Envoy include its GPS navigation, now using waypoints for measuring distances between radios and set locations, and its user interface, with a new missed call feature and the ability to group contacts for better management of communications channels and large networks.

The Envoy now also supports the connection of external audio recording devices for safety, traceability and auditing requirements.
