COTHEN State-of-the-art Technologygy
Transportation has evolved from the horse and buggy to the automobile HF has evolved from singleto the automobile. HF has evolved from single
frequency to COTHEN CELLULAR

Original COTHEN architecture in 1985 introduced a signaling waveform for Automatic Link Establishment
(ALE)(ALE)
ALE couples a computer(radio processor) to the HF radio for automatic best frequency selection andradio for automatic best frequency selection and
makes HF more like using a telephone i.e. enter a three digit address (telephone number) and the radio
establishes the link

Traditional Independent Radio Sites
Mobile user only has 1 Transmitter Station for communications. If unable to link with that Transmitter Station communications are lostTransmitter Station, communications are lost.

Previous COTHEN Remote Communication Consoles (RCC) network architecture connected groups of land ( ) g pusers to a single transmitter site most suitable for their
mission.

Recently the COTHEN team conceptualized, developed and upgraded COTHEN to what we call a
“CELLULAR” Network architectureCELLULAR Network architecture
Every Mobile call is received by up to 21 transmitter stations and the best one is then automaticallystations and the best one is then automatically connected to the location being called e.g. Marine Office, Air Branch, Air Marine Operation Center, etc.. ALE technology selects the best frequency and CELLULAR selects the best Network entry station
