Barrett Communications launches the advanced 4075 High Power HF transmitter.
Perth, Western Australia, August 11, 2017 – Barrett Communications have announced the release of their latest product, the advanced Barrett 4075 High Power High-Frequency transmitter.
E-mail and messaging have become the common and preferred methods in modern communications. Barrett’s innovative liquid cooled amplifier, when married with the Barrett 4050 SDR Transceiver to produce the Barrett 4075 HF High power transmitter, will run continuously at high power for extended data transmission and at optimum temperatures resulting in greater reliability.
The radio is intended as a static base station for use in areas where HF radio may be the only viable communications infrastructure. It provides a compact, high power HF transceiver which is easy to use for the inexperienced operator and ideal for use in austere environments.
Managing Director of Barrett Communications, Mr Greg O’Neill explained “It is designed for users who require robust and reliable long-range data communications equipment with low logistical demands. This product is aimed at a broad cross-section of the market, including peacekeeping and humanitarian organisations, non-government organisations (NGO), security organisations and police; and commercial businesses such as oil exploration.
The advanced liquid cooled solid state design of the 4075 amplifier is believed to be the first of its kind. The cooling system, which uses a water propylene glycol mixture, allows the transmitter to run continuously at optimum temperatures and reduces the requirement for forced air cooling. This is a more efficient design, consumes less power, offers greater reliability, extended service life and provides a much quieter working environment.
The Barrett 4075 High Power HF transmitter will be on display at the following exhibitions:
APCO Denver, USA from the 13th-16th August 2017 stand 1249
DSEI London from 12th-15th September 2017 stand N7-160

PACE comms strategy: Why HF radio is vital for emergency response
Choosing the right Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) comms strategy is critical for improving the response to critical incidents.
Cognitive Radio: Smart Solutions for Spectrum Congestion
The surge in demand for wireless communication has led to significant spectrum congestion. Cognitive radio technology offers a smart solution to this problem by intelligently identifying and switching to available channels, enhancing spectrum efficiency and mitigating congestion.
Eliminating empty zones: Why HF radio remains critical in remote desert areas
Securing reliable communications across vast desert areas that lack the necessary infrastructure can be complicated. In these so-called ‘empty zones’, which can extend for thousands of kilometres, alternative comms systems must be put in place to ensure vital personnel can remain in contact.
