Harris provides radios to Africa
06 July 2010
The company has received a $6 million order to supply an African nation with communications equipment.
The Falcon III RF-7800M is a wideband tactical radio that provides warfighters with unprecedented situational awareness of the battlefield through wireless, high-bandwidth networked communications. The radio enables applications such as streaming video, simultaneous voice and data feeds, collaborative chat and connectivity to secure networks, delivering critical real-time information to the battlefield in a small, lightweight portable radio.
In addition, Harris is also providing the African nation with the Falcon II RF-5800H radio. This provides secure beyond-line-of-sight radio communications in demanding battlefield environments. The radio features Third Generation-Automatic Link Establishment (3G-ALE), integrated data link protocols and embedded GPS receivers. Furthermore, the RF-5800H offers secure interoperability with the Harris AN/PRC-150 radio, which is widely deployed with US and NATO forces operating in Afghanistan.
The company's Falcon family of software-defined tactical radio systems encompasses manpack, handheld and vehicular applications. Falcon III is the next generation of radios supporting the US military's Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) requirements, as well as network-centric operations worldwide.
