Primary industry – oil and gas production and mining – has long been a target of criminal and militant activity worldwide. These facilities sit in very remote areas, far from infrastructure and cellular coverage, and are so large they are almost impossible to fully secure. The most exploited vulnerability is logistical movement between sites, often hundreds of kilometres apart.

With no reliable cellular or satellite coverage, high-frequency (HF) radio is the only viable, sustainable communications medium in these conditions. Codan HF radios communicate over hundreds and even thousands of kilometres in vehicle-mounted format, entirely independent of cell towers, repeaters and satellite stations.

For operators protecting people and assets across vast, exposed distances, HF provides a resilient security measure that keeps convoys and remote teams connected when nothing else will.
