Seamless communication across systems
CNHF Evolve is a turn-key solution that enhances the performance of existing HF and VHF radios and enables interoperability between legacy radios from different vendors. Evolve allows legacy systems to be upgraded into a secure and digital communications environment – extending system lifecycle without replacing functional equipment. The compact, low-power device brings secure voice, data, end-user services, and modern interfaces into legacy platforms. For legacy digital radios, Evolve also improves performance and easier integration with other systems.
A complete solution
Evolve features a complete built-in protocol stack and communication services — including a webmail client — eliminating the need for separate software or external protocol services. With everything integrated into a single device, Evolve ensures reliable, seamless communication and a simplified, more secure system architecture.
Reliability in every environment
Robust waveform ensures reliable communication in denied environments — no need for GNSS or SATCOM. Operate beyond line of sight with full national control and sovereignty over your communication capabilities
Future-proof technology
CNHF Evolve is more than just a modem – it’s a platform with modern hardware and software architecture with regular updates and feature scalability.
Ease of use
Compact and portable, with no need for additional software. Features an intuitive web-based user interface—just like all our CNHF products—alongside Evolve’s local UI. Supports versatile power input options: from the connected radio, via USB-C, or using internal batteries.
Built for security
Designed and manufactured in a NATO country, ensuring secure production, availability, and maintenance along with strict security standards. Users maintain complete control over their encryption keys, management, and operation capabilities, eliminating dependence on external security providers.
