DTC Joins COVE, Expanding Support for Global Maritime Communications
Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA — December 4th, 2025 — DTC, a Codan Company and a leading innovator in secure, reliable, and mission-critical communications solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of its new branch office within COVE,
located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. This strategic move marks DTC’s formal entry into one of the world’s most dynamic marine-technology hubs.
COVE is a collaborative facility that brings together industry, researchers, start-ups, and government stakeholders to accelerate innovation across the marine sector. COVE provides unique access to ocean test facilities, shared prototyping and fabrication labs, engineering resources, and a vibrant community of marine technology organizations. Its mission is to propel marine innovation, commercialization, and workforce development in support of a globally competitive marine economy.
DTC’s decision to join the COVE community underscores the company’s continued commitment to supporting the maritime domain with advanced communications capabilities. As global demand for secure, resilient, and high-performance communications grows across naval, coastal, commercial maritime, uncrewed platforms, and autonomous marine vehicles (ASVs), COVE provides an environment perfectly aligned with DTC’s mission.
As part of this expansion, DTC will also showcase its BluSDR uncrewed communications solutions, which deliver robust, high-bandwidth wideband wireless connectivity to uncrewed platforms in all domains—sea, land, and air. BluSDR strengthens DTC’s offering for customers seeking high-performance, software-defined, and scalable communication capabilities for complex mission environments.
With its new branch office at COVE, DTC looks forward to strengthening collaboration with COVE tenants, marine technology partners, and the broader maritime ecosystem. The company will leverage its global expertise to support both established organizations and emerging innovators working on complex maritime challenges in both commercial and defense domains.
“Joining the COVE community represents an exciting step in DTC’s ongoing investment in maritime innovation,” said Paul Sangster, Executive GM, Tactical Communications
at DTC. “COVE brings together some of the most innovative minds and most forward-thinking organizations in the maritime space. We are proud to contribute our expertise in secure, mission-critical communications and look forward to supporting our fellow COVE members, partners, and customers across the global maritime environment.”
DTC’s secure, reliable, and low-latency communications solutions are engineered to perform in demanding environments—from naval operations and covert maritime missions to autonomous surface and subsea systems. This includes critical support for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), which depend on uninterrupted connectivity to safely and effectively execute missions at sea.
Whether operating beyond line-of-sight, navigating congested coastal waters, or conducting long-duration missions far offshore, ASVs rely on DTC’s wireless IP mesh networks to maintain real-time situational awareness, command-and-control links, and high-bandwidth transmission of sensor payload data, video, and telemetry. BluSDR further enhances these capabilities, enabling operators to deploy flexible, software-defined digital communications on uncrewed systems requiring secure, wideband, high-throughput connectivity—even in contested, RF-challenged, or harsh maritime environments.
By joining COVE’s ecosystem, DTC reinforces its commitment to delivering mission-critical communications that enhance safety, expand situational awareness, and ensure operational success for maritime uncrewed operators worldwide.
