Codan | DTC's Sentry Mesh 6161 is the ultimate personal radio for demanding applications that require performance, range and versatility in a lightweight and compact, wearable unit that minimises burden on users
The Sentry Mesh 6161 is a Software Defined Radio hosting our highly robust MANET waveforms that have been proven in applications from Public Safety to Unmanned Systems and Covert Operations. The MeshUltraTM waveform optimises the use of available channel bandwidth through a token passing technology, which avoids collisions and provides a bound, predictable data packet latency. Wider bandwidth, together with superior RF performance and optional Interference Avoidance System (IAS), maximises communications effectiveness in the presence of interference.
The standardised design of the 6161 ensures that it can be integrated with a large range of accessory devices such as audio, data, power solutions, and antennas to address current and future program needs.
