REDCOM Laboratories, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of advanced tactical communications systems for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), has announced the release of Sigma® version 4.1. This software release includes new capabilities and features designed to further support modernization efforts to increase interoperability and operational flexibility while reducing maintenance, lifecycle, and training costs.

REDCOM Sigma software is the heart of the Sigma ecosystem, delivering core Command and Control communications, including voice, video, chat, conferencing, RoIP, and a console in a single software instance. This update adds support for Channels, alongside new C2 Console features, UI refinements, and infrastructure improvements.

Sigma 4.1 will significantly improve tactical voice communications capabilities by enabling Channels, which sees its first implementation in the recently announced Sigma Client for ATAK. REDCOM’s implementation of Channels improves the flow of communication up and down echelons and across domains by intuitively and functionally grouping endpoints together. Users can seamlessly communicate with Operational Centers and other units without carrying additional radios or worrying about disparate/proprietary systems. Reducing the number of communication avenues through interoperability and channel creation is an invaluable asset for connecting Joint and Coalition forces on disparate networks.

New features in Sigma 4.1 include:

• Channels
• • Client users as members of named channels
  • Traditional endpoints as members of named channels
  • Traditional endpoints as dial-in members of named channels
