HF RADIO CONTROL SOFTWARE

Industry-leading HF radio communications integrated with devices your operators already carry.

Book a Demo

In high-stakes operations, mobility is critical to success. Standard HF consoles tie an operator to one fixed position. Codan Xtend breaks that constraint. Running on a smartphone or tablet, this HF radio control software enables up to four operators to remotely operate a single Codan radio across all commonly used voice modes and text-based messaging. Codan Xtend puts industry-leading HF radio into devices your operators already carry. Full radio control. Minimal training.

Effective coordination requires more than just vocal communications. Supporting all Codan message and call types, this smartphone radio control app slots into existing HF networks. Google Maps integration translates received HF GPS and emergency position calls onto a live map, which keeps operating when internet or cellular coverage drops. Codan Xtend keeps you connected when it matters most.

Remote communications must not come at the cost of security. Codan Xtend maintains the same verified security and encryption as its connected console. Toggleable voice encryption and PIN-controlled access add security beyond standard Wi-Fi password protection. Field tested across an extensive range of Android and iOS devices, Codan Xtend has proven security and dependability in the field, keeping your operations connected, secure and mobile.
