Barrett 4050 HF SDR transceiver for secure communication
The 4050 high-frequency (HF) software-defined radio (SDR) transceiver is the latest product in the Barrett range of high-frequency communication equipment.
When the transceiver is combined with various Barrett products, it provides extremely secure data transfer, email and telephone connectivity in the HF network, the international telephone network and the Internet.
The Barrett 4050 is fully interoperable with advanced digital selective calling systems. The transceiver provides four- and six-digit selective call functions, such as options for disabling a remote transceiver, secure point-to-point and / or multipoint calling, status call, GPS tracking, SMS text, and telephone connection.
The 4050 comes with a number of waveform options, including the CLOVER 2500 and the upcoming CLOVER NG standard, along with the MIL-STD-188-110A / B (STANAG 4285, 4415, 4481, 4529, 4539). These waveforms provide unmatched performance with bandwidth speeds of up to and above 19,200bps combined with Barrett’s latest digital transmission software and intuitive user interface.
The Barrett GPS interface connects to any external antenna for the NMEA 0183 receiver to track applications and provides location information and emergency call features to all implemented equivalently equipped HF assets.
Barrett can provide unsurpassed asset tracking efficiency through HF when combined with its upcoming GPS Push tracking solution.
