The new REDCOM Sigma XRI-M4K module brings the power of REDCOM Sigma® C2 software and radio interoperability to the highly rugged Voyager platform.

REDCOM Laboratories, Inc. and Klas announced the launch of a new tactical communications module for the Voyager platform, the REDCOM Sigma XRI-M4K.

Powered by REDCOM’s proven Sigma® C2 software, the Sigma XRI-M4K bridges the gap between disparate radio systems used by military units, government agencies, and public safety organizations. It provides a full spectrum of C2 comms and easy-to-use radio interoperability and crossbanding, leveraging existing radio assets and enabling these organizations to instantly connect to each other, regardless of the radio network, endpoint, or frequency used. Furthermore, the XRI-M4K module allows radio users to communicate directly with users on any SIP endpoint and can be controlled and patched together on-the-fly via the REDCOM C2 Console app.

“REDCOM and Klas are aligned to solve joint C2 challenges in current and future operational environments in a single multi-mission, multi-domain platform. Voyager and REDCOM Sigma are already C2 platforms of choice for multiple programs across the DoD,” said REDCOM Strategic Lead John Kelliher. “Communications are a mission-critical component of Command and Control. REDCOM Sigma is purpose-built to enhance interop and mobility, creating an adaptable solution to ensure critical lines of communication stay up in a DDIL environment. Integrating complementary platforms that are familiar to the warfighters will keep training and lifecycle costs low and reduce overall complexity, infrastructure, and support requirements.”

“The Voyager platform from Klas was designed to enable a diverse mission set of capabilities. The REDCOM Sigma addition adds even more capability to our ecosystem and demonstrates how central communications are to enabling success at the tactical edge. We’re excited to have REDCOM as a partner and have the XRI-M4K be part of the Voyager ecosystem,” said Chris Ericksen, Chief Revenue Officer, Klas.

Voyager is a modular and scalable range of network, compute, and radio systems designed to meet the requirements of government and public safety communicators in any operational environment. As a module for the Voyager platform, REDCOM Sigma XRI-M4K provides a full spectrum of C2 comms and radio interoperability, managed and controlled by REDCOM’s proven and easy-to-use Sigma C2 software. Up to two Sigma M4K modules can be installed in the same Voyager system, each providing four analog ports for donor radios.

Victor, NY — REDCOM Laboratories, Inc., the leading supplier of advanced communications solutions for the tactical edge, is proud to announce the successful interoperability test between REDCOM Sigma and Exacom HindSight. This interoperability test demonstrates a proven and secure call recording solution ideally suited for sensitive government and military networks.

As part of the interoperability testing, REDCOM connected a REDCOM Sigma XRI-400 to Exacom’s HindSight Multimedia Logging Recorder software. REDCOM Sigma is a robust C2 Communications platform with voice, video, chat, and conferencing. Exacom’s HindSight multimedia logger records audio, video, text/SMS, IoT, metadata, events, and more for mission-critical communications. Both REDCOM Sigma and Exacom HindSight have completed rigorous testing and certification with JITC and are listed on the DoDIN Approved Products List.

The two systems were able to seamlessly interoperate, allowing for encrypted voice, video, chat, and radio communications from REDCOM to be securely recorded on the HindSight platform.

“The United States is taking steps at the Federal and Department of Defense levels to strengthen our national cybersecurity defenses,” said Exacom Director Business Development Robert (Bob) Mohr. “However, it is the vendors’ job to ensure their technologies conform to cybersecurity guidelines and standards. To protect sensitive and confidential communications, Exacom and REDCOM are the first in line to make sure our communication solutions are independently secure and securely work together. This successful testing means that our mutual customers can have confidence in the security and functionality of their communication and recording platforms.”

“REDCOM and Exacom share a similar mission: we both design reliable, standards-based products built to meet the exacting security requirements for the government and defense industry,” said REDCOM Solutions Architect Steve Lawless. “Configuring our products into a secure call recording solution was a straightforward exercise.”

About the DoDIN Approved Products List

The Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL) is the single consolidated list of products that affect communication and collaboration across the DoDIN. The DoDIN APL is an acquisition decision support tool for DoD organizations interested in procuring equipment to add to the DISN to support their mission. The DoDIN APL is managed by the Approved Products Certification Office (APCO).

REDCOM Laboratories is proud to announce a major new release of Sigma, version 3.1. In addition to UX improvements and conference enhancements Sigma 3.1 includes two major new features: The REDCOM C2 Console app and TSM talk group support.

REDCOM Sigma is a complete software-based Command & Control solution with voice, video, chat, and conferencing. REDCOM Sigma® increases the warfighter’s operational flexibility while reducing size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements at the tactical edge. In 2020 the U.S. Army chose REDCOM Sigma® as the C2 platform for its modernization programs because it is standards-based, transport-agnostic, and interoperable with existing systems. REDCOM Sigma enables warfighters to configure, manage, and control their C2 communication capabilities — including VoIP, video, chat, and radio interoperability — directly through an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Sigma is already deployed in multiple programs within the US Army and US Air Force.

New in Sigma 3.1 is the REDCOM C2 Console, which provides a single pane of glass for monitoring and controlling all comms, including IP and RF endpoints. The REDCOM C2 Console can work with any Sigma® reachable endpoint, such as a SIP device, an analog phone via a SIP trunk, or radio voice net.

The C2 console’s intuitive UI requires very little training, enabling new users to get up-to-speed in minutes. The operator can listen to any conversation across multiple devices and talk groups, and can also build patches on-the-fly simply by dragging and dropping these connections together.

TSM™ talk group support enables Sigma to interoperate with all talk groups on a TSM Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET). TSM radio talk groups can be bridged to other TSM talk groups, radio nets, or IP endpoints.

Alongside the release of Sigma 3.1, REDCOM is introducing a new version of the Secure Client for Windows with major chat enhancements for the tactical domain. The updated Secure Client supports unified chat with both XMPP and IRC protocols, so users no longer must switch between chat clients. Chat panels can also be resized and rearranged to fit the needs of each individual user; this will increase operational tempo while reducing cognitive overload. The need for email is reduced as attachments can be sent through chat and urgent chats can be flagged for attention.

For a full list of new features in Sigma 3.1, click here to download the release notes.

REDCOM will be conducting a live webinar on June 9, 2022 at 1 pm Eastern to demonstrate the new features in Sigma 3.1. You can click here to register.

REDCOM Sigma 3.1 and the REDCOM Secure Client 5.2.12 for Windows are available immediately. Please contact a REDCOM solution advisor for further details.
