The Codan RIOS is a radio interoperability gateway that links eight disparate transceivers across HF, VHF, UHF, 700/800 MHz, cell, and satellite within one MIL-STD-810F transit case for joint and coalition operations.
Operational teams often rely on different radios, bands, and networks at the same time. Codan RIOS brings up to eight devices together through one gateway, allowing separate users and agencies to communicate without replacing existing equipment. The result is faster coordination, clearer command, and fewer gaps between teams in the field.
Interoperability is critical when missions involve multiple units, partners, or jurisdictions. The system connects HF, VHF, UHF, 700/800 MHz, cable, and satellite communications, helping teams bridge voice traffic across diverse networks. Whether supporting a tactical response, joint operation, or multi-agency deployment, it keeps essential communications aligned.
Field communications equipment has to work in demanding conditions. Built to MIL-STD-810F, Codan RIOS is designed for operational reliability across mobile, temporary, and deployed environments. Its compact gateway architecture gives teams a practical way to establish interoperability quickly where infrastructure is limited, damaged, or unavailable.
Eight D-Sub 26-pin ports interface HF, VHF, UHF, 700/800 MHz, cell phones, and satellite handsets for two-way radio interoperability.
Daylight readable Windows gateway controller running the RIOS Gateway Controller software application for one-screen device management.
Integrated router with LAN, Wi-Fi, and USB cellular data connection extends the gateway onto IP networks and remote stations.
Green Pelican iM2500 roller case, water resistant with pressure release valve, telescoping handle, and lid organiser.
9 to 36 V DC input or AC supply, external lithium ion battery, and 12 V at 1.5 A DC output for auxiliary devices.
Integrated Lind adaptor charges the ruggedised laptop in place, with interior and exterior USB connectors.
RIOS Lite smartphone connection port and client computer connection port join dismounted teams to the network.

Codan RIOS gives joint and coalition teams one shared voice picture when their radios were never built to cooperate. Across eight ports the unit bridges HF, VHF, UHF, 700/800 MHz, cell, and satellite, then carries that traffic onto IP networks through an integrated router. Designed and manufactured by DTC, a Codan Company, this radio interoperability gateway deploys from a single rugged case, draws on flexible DC or AC power, and demands almost no operator training. From border operations to multinational exercises, the Codan RIOS keeps every net connected.
