Redefining the software-defined radio
The Barrett 4050 HF SDR transceiver combines software-defined radio technology with a robust design, intuitive interface and encryption capabilities. When teamed with other Barrett HF products, this transceiver provides secure email, data transfer and text within a HF network and IP networks.
Software-defined architecture
The Barrett 4050's software-defined architecture offers complete control of RF modulation and bandwidth for ultimate flexibility and reliability. Enable custom emissions and filter bandwidths up to 24 kHz with a simple swipe of the touchscreen.
IP network connectivity
The 4050’s control head features a wireless access point, letting mobile devices and PCs connect directly via Wi-Fi. For additional IP configurations, the 4050ip variant provides reliable Ethernet connectivity through a standard RJ45 socket on the rear panel.
Advanced calling features
The Barrett 4050 is interoperable with advanced DSC systems. Options include 2G ALE (MIL-STD-188-141B) for automated point-to-point calling, text and GPS, plus 3G ALE (STANAG 4538) for faster link setup and robust data penetration on noisy channels.
Encrypted communications
Secure Digital Voice provides encrypted communications. Choose between a non-export-controlled DES-56 vocoder or an export-controlled AES-256 vocoder. Optional FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validated AES-256 encryption helps protect keys from digital and physical tampering.
Enhanced DSP noise reduction
The digital signal processor (DSP) provides clear intelligible voice communications on analogue circuits through the digital removal of background noise and radio interference.
Frequency hopping
The frequency hopping option requires no central sync station, handshaking or entry delays. With rates of 5, 15 or 25 hops per second, it supports extended field use without resynchronization. Note: This feature is subject to export controls.
