Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and
information technology company, has received a $10 million order to
supply the Government of Canada with Falcon III® multiband manpack
radios and satellite terminals.
The Harris Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G radios and RF-7800B
Broadband Global Area Networking (BGAN) terminals will provide Canadian
military forces with an integrated solution for Type-1 secure voice and
data communications in both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight
applications. Integrated together, the radios and satellite terminals
support network-enabled applications such as streaming video and
collaborative chat.
“Harris Falcon III products and systems are meeting the growing demands
for wideband data and tactical networking in countries around the
world," said Brendan O’Connell, president, international business unit,
Harris RF Communications. “The system we’re delivering will provide
Canadian forces with greater situational awareness and command and
control in the full range of mission environments."
The field-proven AN/PRC-117G provides unprecedented situational
awareness through wideband networking of the battlefield.
Software-defined and upgradeable, the AN/PRC-117G enables applications
such as streaming video, simultaneous voice and data feeds,
collaborative chat, and connectivity to secure networks.
The Harris RF-7800B Broadband Global Area Network product line is a
high-performance satellite solution that provides reliable voice and
wideband data connectivity for beyond line-of-sight SATCOM-on-the-move
and SATCOM-at-the-quick-halt applications. Canada is acquiring both the
vehicular-based and mobile RF-7800B BGAN terminals.
With a fully integrated RF-7800B and Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G,
users are able to extend their data networking capabilities through
simultaneous operation with Harris’ Adaptive Networking Wideband
