Codan RIOS

INTEROPERABILITY

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.

MISSION OUTCOME

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.
