Better Connectivity, Security with 2G ALE Networking 

The RM 8 2G ALE Controller provides better connectivity over a greater number of frequencies and allows linking to other HF stations in a network without operator intervention. To overcome variable HF propagation conditions, a number of frequencies are available.

Performing all the basic protocol functions for individual calling, one-to-many calling, sounding and scanning up to 5 channels per second, the 2G ALE Controller provides advanced features with greater reliability than using a single frequency.

The 2G ALE Controller continually scans the pre-selected set of channels, listening for calls, and improves linking quality analysis by continuously listening to sounds and calls from other stations, when not otherwise committed.

HF network operators can rely on the RM8 2G ALE Controller to provide additional security via MIL-STD-188-141B, App. B Linking Protection protocol, utilizing a built-in GPS.
