The Cordis Array II (CRE2) product family meets the demands for tactical operations where digital high capacity reliable communication and data transfer are crucial for efficient and safe missions. The system operates in C-band and is field proven with high data rate communication over long distances. Phased array technology with electronic beam steering of highly focused antenna beams makes it very suitable for high mobility communication.

Robust with encryptionWith this phased array design, the CRE2 enables high speed, high capacity and extremely robust data, voice and video trans-fer between multiple nodes in an ad hoc network. The CRE2 portable units provide stable performance, which handles signal obstructions, close-by operations as well as distances in excess of 20 kilometers1 simultaneously.AES-256 link encryption embedded in hardware.

Connecting remote nodesThe CRE2 connects squads and their resources with a high capacity digital communication channel. QoS handles low latency data streams and high priority sensor streaming. The system may transfer encrypted data from a diverse selection of operational sources. Utilizing live video, location data and other sensors, remotely situated teams can work together seamlessly. Coordination of activities for optimal performance and safety ensures operational success.

IP connectivityCRE2 technology supports complex operations that may involve a large number of information nodes and diverse information streams between all nodes in a network. End-to-end IP con-netivity provides cost efficient integration and an interoperable solution for seamless data exchange.

Easy to installThe unit is easy to install, comprising only the unit itself and Ethernet/Power connection through a single connector.

Easy to operateCRE2 is an ad hoc tactical network that requires no extra infra-structure or equipment. This makes it a simple solution to use and maintain , enhancing efficiency in coordinated operations. The electronic phase array system operating at microwave frequencies with narrow antenna beams has a jamming robust-ness unmatched by conventional tactical data links.
