CODAN and Domo Tactical Communications (DTC) are proud to announce the unveiling of the new Sentry Mesh 6161-L radio, completing the Sentry Series product family and enhancing CODAN and DTC’s product offering following on its commitment of innovation and providing full communications solutions. The Sentry Series product family includes HF, VHF, MANET, and interoperability solutions. This Sentry Mesh 6161-L Software Defined Radio is based on our highly reliable and robust MANET MESH waveforms, that have been field-proven in applications from various world militaries, Special Forces, to Unmanned Systems platforms and Covert Operations. MeshUltra™ optimizes the use of available channel bandwidth through a “Token Passing” technology, which avoids collisions and provides a predictable data packet latency. Wider bandwidth together with advanced Interference Avoidance System (IAS) maximises communications effectiveness in contested environments and provides protection against Electronic Attack (EA).

“The Sentry Mesh 6161-L, developed specifically to address the needs of Soldier Modernisation programs, continues CODAN’s tradition of innovation and responsiveness to the warfighter’s evolving demands to stay connected, create security, and ultimately save lives” said Paul Sangster, President of CODAN Communications.  

With up to 2 watts output and a 2x2 MIMO RF architecture, the Sentry Mesh 6161-L maximizes throughput and avoids drop-outs using two independent transmit / receive channels. In complex environments where multiple obstacles cause signal reflections and cancellation, MIMO results in far superior performance.
