Offering a full 2 watts of output power, employing standard MBITR batteries and compatible with an array of COTS/MOTS audio and visual accessories, the SDR-H2 is ideal for a variety of Tactical Mesh deployments.’ A lot of progress is being made on compatibility with existing audio accessories in various formats.
With a wide range of video, data and audio connectivity protocols and three dedicated input/output ports in different robust physical formats, the H2 offers maximum use-case versatility, equally employable as an airborne, UGV or infrastructure node as a handheld tactical radio.
Multi Role
The SDR-H2 joins DTC’s versatile family of IP Mesh and P2P COFDM radios designed to meet the requirements of a diverse range of surveillance and battlefield applications. It combines a familiar “soldier radio” physical form factor, bulletproof construction and simplified user interface with the ability to use standard MBITR-style battery packs, chargers and holsters.
Refined Technology on the Battlefield
Frontline communications are fast, robust and automatically scaled with capability of up to 16 voice talk groups (all acting in full duplex VOX) in a meshed network whilst streaming IP, video and CoT (Cursor on Target) situational awareness data. Thus, offering compatibility with a range of BMS (Battle Management Systems).
The industry’s smartest mesh Waveform, MeshUltra-X™, over the air encryption and channel management, features such as DTC’s IAS (Interference Avoidance System) and performance in bandwidths all the way down to 1.25MHz guarantee no-loss communications in the most adverse conditions.

FAQ
Does Codan software run on Windows 64bit operating systems?
Yes. Codan software has been tested on Windows 7 to Windows 10 32bit and 64bit operating systems with no known issues.
What is the difference between an FED-STD and MIL-STD ALE?
FED-STD refers to the FED-STD-1045 ALE, whereas MIL-STD refers to the MIL-STD-181-141B ALE. FED-STD ALE has the basic ALE feature set for calling and messaging, whereas MIL-STD has additional features such as NET calling, selective call types and LQA exchange.
NET calling allows you to group your users into nets, so rather than calling a particular person or everyone, you can call a certain group identified by a net. With MIL-STD ALE, you also have a variety of selective call types – such as global all-call, selective all-call, global any-call, selective any-call, double any-calls and more. Advanced ALE, part of MIL-STD ALE, enables you to force an LQA exchange.
