Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading supplier of military tactical radios for worldwide defense forces, has introduced the RF-5800V-NM VHF networking module to provide secure, wireless Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity for tactical applications such as remote sensors or "smart" munitions.
The Falcon(TM) II RF-5800V-NM uses the Harris Tactical Networking solution, which utilizes an advanced channel access mechanism to provide high network throughput, automatic data rate detection, and prioritized traffic.
Based on the Falcon II RF-5800V-HH VHF handheld radio, the Networking Module can be easily embedded due to its small size and efficient power use. Integration is simple: users need only connect to the RS-232 PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) port and configure the module, which acts like a router.
The Networking Module is interoperable with the Harris RF-5800V-HH VHF handheld and RF-5800V-MP manpack, providing solutions for man-portable, vehicle and base station control sites.
Harris' Citadel(TM) chip provides digital encryption for the IP traffic, ensuring that sensitive data is protected by military-grade security. Harris Quicklook 1A ECCM frequency hopping can be used for detection and jam avoidance.
The RF-5800V-NM is built for the tactical environment. It can withstand ground-mobile shock and vibration, and it covers the military VHF band for ease of use around the world. As with all members of the Falcon(TM) II radio family, the Networking Module is software based to allow future upgrades. Currently, ad-hoc networking is being added to the module to allow for self-forming networks and dynamic routing.
