High-power HF communications should not require unnecessary system complexity. The Sentry-H 6120-BM delivers 150 W RF output from a compact rugged transceiver, with user-programmable power from 1 W to 150 W and expansion to 500 W or 1 kW through Codan external amplifiers. Built on a proven software defined radio architecture, it can accept new waveforms, encryption, and capabilities through software updates as operational needs evolve.

Public safety and commercial networks need to connect across legacy systems, current deployments, and remote teams. The Sentry-H 6120-BM supports STANAG 4538 3G ALE, FED-STD-1045 ALE, Selcall, digital voice, secure data, Codan Chat HF, email, SMS, and file transfer. Three control point options allow the same RF unit to support base stations, mobile command vehicles, remote operation, and connected PC or smartphone workflows.

Emergency and remote operations need a radio that holds the link when infrastructure fails. Qualified to MIL-STD-810G and protected to IP67 on the RF unit and 2320 Handset, the Sentry-H 6120-BM is built for immersion, shock, vibration, humidity, blowing dust, salt fog, fungus, contamination, and altitude. Operation from -30°C to +60°C, strong frequency stability, high receive sensitivity, and a 141,000 hour MTBF support dependable communications in harsh environments.
