Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has received an $18 million order from a nation in Central Asia for Falcon III® wideband tactical radios. The radios will provide advanced voice and data capabilities for the country’s armed forces on the frontline. The order was received during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

The nation is acquiring the RF-7800H high-frequency manpack and the RF-7850M multiband handheld radios. The RF-7800H is the first HF manpack radio with high-speed wideband data capabilities, allowing users to efficiently transmit large data files over beyond line-of-sight links. The RF-7850M multiband radio supports the latest wideband and narrowband networking waveforms and provides forward-deployed teams with capabilities to communicate with greater speed and detail.
