The CMX7011 is a flexible, half-duplex, digital voice encryption processor that provides the digital advantage to conventional analogue two-way radios.
Digital voice scrambling is a key feature of the device, transmitting and receiving secure encrypted voice via an embedded robust data modem.
The device allows simple implementation and configuration within existing designs and is intended to be added to a radio via an accessory module or “feature socket”. The device is simple to control via a small, low-power microcontroller.
The CMX7011 offers good quality speech which is better than that of traditional analogue radios at the fringes of reception and, using the internal digital encryption algorithm, significantly higher levels of security are achieved.
The CMX7011 uses CML’s proprietary FirmASIC component technology, providing maximum flexibility with upgrade capability and a roadmap of future function enhancements.

CMX7011 FAQ
A. Yes, that is the intended use of the CMX7011, however there are a number of considerations that need to be taken into account. To achieve optimum performance, radio specific interface circuitry may be required.
When the radio is in digital voice scrambler mode the radio’s audio path: ‘pre/de-emphasis’, ‘companding’, ‘VOX’ and any audio band filtering, should be turned off or compensated for with suitable filtering.
Group delay is another potential problem area that is radio dependant and may require compensation.
Q. How much memory do I need to reserve in my host Flash memory to store the CMX7011 Function Image™.
A. Realistically we do not expect the CMX7011 Function Image™ to exceed 48kbytes however, the absolute maximum size is 64kbytes.
