Harris RF Communications International Business president Brendan O’Connell said that the Falcon III RF-7800W radio would provide commanders and front-line personnel with a robust common operational picture, based on improved intelligence and communications connectivity.
"This radio, acting as the IP backbone, expands networking services on the battlefield that broaden the use of applications such as video and situational awareness through tactical edge devices," he said.
Featuring advanced technologies, such as dual-band capability and increased data output, the radio establishes wide-area battlefield networks that connect brigade and battalion headquarters to forward-deployed units at company level and below.
Operating over the 4.4-5.875GHz frequency range, the new RF-7800W features multiple input/output antenna technology to set up and maintain robust data links, as well as dramatically extending ranges for wireless IP connectivity.
