Silynx has just added a new feature to their website designed specifically for mobile users. Now, you can now build and customize your own C4OPS headset. It works just like the full-featured website and allows you to add headsets, cables, accessories, as well as the C4Grip to your C4OPS or Micro C4OPS config and submit for a quote. Then, you can upload it for a quote.

Silynx Communications has introduced the C4OPS Skull Cap. Designed to cover the Warfighter’s ears for enhanced in ear bud retention and to serve as a wind noise protector, the new Skull Cap integrates right into the C4OPS system. It is manufactured from a light-gauge fabric with an absorbent liner and keeps your head dry and comfy even when worn under a helmet. It features the new Silynx Bad Ass logo and Silynx will contribute $10 for each of the first 1,000 Skull Caps sold to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Smart phones are being integrated into tactical communications architectures in a variety of ways. Silynx communications stays in constant contact with their customers and has reacted to this phenomenon by creating interface cables for various devices. This is the iPhone cable which is used to connect an iPhone to the Micro C4OPS System.
Look for more accessories designed to increase the utility and reach of tactical communications from Silynx.
Due to increased use of the AN/PRC-152 radio, Silynx Communications has released a new smart side PRC-152 cable adaptor. When connected to their C4OPS or Micro C4OPS, the new low profile cable adaptor enables the user to remote control the radio’s channels and volume. It also provides parasitic power from the 152 to the C4OPS or Micro C4OPS control box eliminating the requirement for yet another battery.
In addition, Silynx has also released BA5590 single and dual AN/PRC- 152 splitters. The splitters allow communicators and JTACs to carry up to two 152 radios powered from a single BA5590 battery.
Finally, don’t forget to contact Silynx and make sure you are using the latest software release.

We’ve already told you where to see Silynx at SHOT Show (booth #5100) and yes, it looks to be tucked back in a corner so be vigilant and make sure you find it because once you are there you will be able to see the new C4Grip.
Silynx kept telling us that they had something unexpected coming and this is certainly it. This thing really took us by surprise. They have not only integrated a wireless push-to-talk as well as controls for an ATPIAL and weapons light into the grip but have also made it somewhat modular, promising the ability to swap out grips for color and shape. Additionally, they are offering some pimpage in the form of laser engraving on the grip. Last but certainly not least, the grip is hollow and features a removable folding knife.
Silynx recently started offering the C4OPS headset system with MultiCam bags, Compact Control Units, and wireless Push-to-talk modules. While the new color scheme is the most obvious enhancement to the popular C4OPS headset system, it is hardly the only improvement. Silynx maintains continuous contact with their customer base to solicit feedback based on real world use. Software updates such as those below are constantly pushed out to the field.
The enhanced PC programming software makes setting system parameters a snap. The system is now GPS enabled giving the MBITR on board Blue Force Tracking. However, unlike traditional BFT systems, C4OPS does not send automatic GPS locations but rather can be set to send them along with transmissions as well as by time or distance settings. The GPS information can also be provided to the operator on demand through the headphones via a selectable synthetic voice. Additionally, the C4OPS systems can be configured to transmit pre-set text messages through the radio.
Not only have the ear buds been improved with the ability to accept a custom ear mold, but they also now come with a storage pouch. They also offer venting for MFF parachute operations.
In addition to the software and earbud enhancements, Silynx also offers a couple of radio battery cables that can be used by anyone who employs the MBITR. The variant above adapts the BA-5590 battery to the MBITR to allow the battery to be stored remotely from the radio. This is especially important for lithium batteries as they can easily combust if they take fire. Below is an adapter for the standard MBITR battery and offers additional load carriage options.
If you’ll be attending the Warrior Expo – East in Virgina Beach on 15-16 July be sure to stop by booth #111 and check out the C4OPS headset system.
Soldier Systems Daily is proud to welcome Silynx Communications, Inc. as a new sponsor. Silynx is a world leader in miniature, software defined, tactical hearing protection, communication headsets. Their headsets are used by elements of the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), US Army, USMC as well as international SOF. Silynx specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of advanced and innovative software based noise protection communication headsets. Their name really sums up who and what they are – Silynx combines SI for silent communications and LYNX, a solitary wild cat that is known for its strength, precision, and stealthiness.
The C4OPS is Silynx’s premier headset featuring 20m immersibility and an excellent man machine interface. The user receives voice prompts from the system in a clear female voice and can monitor up to 3 radios/intercoms simultaneously using the same headset. Additionally, the C4OPS provides hearing protection (ANR & INR) and hearing enhancement. The modular system is designed for ease of repair without putting the entire system down. The heart of the system is the Main Control Box and this allows each user to customize the system to their requirements, whether that means wearing an Eagle headset, Peltor ear muffs, the standard foamies that come with the system or custom molds. When the system is only connected to one radio, the user has dual hearing through both ears but if the user connects to dual comms he receives primary in the left ear and secondary in the right. If the user then connects to an intercom/3rd radio then the user monitors this third connection via both ears. The C4OPS is a PC programmable system which allows the user to customize his system and integrate upgrades as they are produced. Check out the “Build Your Own” web page.
For us, two things really stand out about Silynx. First, their system is software based so changes can be rapidly made to the system without having to purchase new components and other vendor’s components can be integrated into the system.
