FIPS 140-3 Cryptography and a Redesigned Windows Client Deliver Unified Comms Control at the Edge
New grid-based layout puts all your channels, radio status information, PTT controls, video, and chat messages on a single pane of glass without switching between applications.
REDCOM Laboratories, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of advanced tactical communications systems for the U.S. Department of War, has released version 4.4 of its flagship C2 communications platform, Sigma, alongside version 6.4 of Sigma Client for Windows. These updates introduce mission-critical capabilities that further solidify Sigma as the single, unified platform for all command and control voice traffic at the tactical edge.
“In a combat environment, seconds matter. During critical phases of an operation, our users can’t afford to waste seconds due to friction created by juggling multiple applications to do their job,” said John Kelliher, Director of Strategy and R&D at REDCOM. “These major enhancements in the latest release of Sigma and Sigma Client reduce that friction by providing an intuitive layout to manage and control all your communication assets from a single application.”

- Grid-based channel view in the Windows Client:
- Drag-and-drop customization of widget location
- Enhanced integration with external PTT devices/headsets
- Visual indicator for the current talker
- Individually mute/unmute channels
- PTT to an individual channel, groups of channels, or all channels at once
