150W expandable to 500W/1kW. Three control points. Compact form factor. The Sentry-H 5120-BM delivers proven high-power voice and data communications for Public Safety base and mobile platforms where space is constrained and secure, long-range reach is essential.
Public safety teams need high-power HF performance without unnecessary installation complexity. The Sentry-H 5120-BM delivers 150 W RF output in a compact rugged transceiver, with user-programmable power from 1 W to 150 W and expansion to 500 W or 1 kW through external amplifiers. Built on a proven software defined radio architecture, it supports future waveform and capability updates through software rather than hardware replacement.
Emergency communications need to work across agencies, regions, and legacy networks. The Sentry-H 5120-BM supports 3G ALE, FED-STD-1045 ALE, Selcall, digital voice, secure messaging, and remote operation through IP and Ethernet connectivity. Three control point options allow the same RF unit to support operations centres, mobile command vehicles, and temporary deployments without changing the core radio platform.
Space-constrained installations still need equipment built for harsh operating conditions. The Sentry-H 5120-BM operates from -30°C to +60°C, with strong frequency stability and receive sensitivity for long-range HF links beyond normal infrastructure. Its compact RF unit reduces cabling complexity and installation burden, helping public safety teams deploy reliable HF capability in vehicles, command centres, and rapid response sites.
User-programmable from 1W to 150W. Expandable to 500W or 1kW via external amplifiers. Delivered in the smallest form factor for space-constrained installations.
2320 Smart Handset, 2340 Control Head, or 2330 Desk Console. One RF unit across permanent operations centres, mobile command vehicles, and temporary deployments.
Field-tested architecture with thousands of operational hours. Software-upgradable waveforms and capabilities ensure future sustainability without hardware replacement.
3G ALE, FED-STD-1045 ALE, SELCALL standards. Fast linking and secure messaging across Public Safety networks. Critical comms when infrastructure fails.
TWELP/MELPe at 2400/1200 bit/s. Digital voice message calls. Intelligible speech where analogue voice fails.
IP/Ethernet connectivity. Virtual Control Point (VCP) compatible. Control from PC, mobile command centre, or remote location.
Operational -30 to +60°C. Rugged and waterproof design. Compact dimensions (220 x 66.5 x 190 mm). Built for emergency response.
