Harris Corporation HRS, an international communications and information
technology company, has received an $11 million order from a nation in Latin
America for Falcon III^® Very High Frequency (VHF) Combat Net Radios. The
order was received by Harris in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The radios
will enable the nation's Army soldiers to communicate via voice, video and
data as they conduct their missions.
Combat net radios are a primary tool for military communications around the
world. The RF-7800V delivers range, data speeds and throughput unmatched by
any VHF combat net radio on the market. The RF-7800V handheld supports
simultaneous networked voice and data communications to multiple users with
data rates up to 192 Kbps, allowing for time-critical GPS reports. The radio
offers new Harris technology that makes it easier to talk in high-noise or
jammed communication environments.
"This order will accelerate tactical radio modernization for this nation's
Army by providing soldiers with highly portable voice and high-speed VHF data
capabilities,'' said Brendan O'Connell, president, International Business,
Harris RF Communications. “The RF-7800V delivers continuous coverage in the 30
to 108 MHz frequency band, offering unique performance and flexibility for a
combat net radio.''
