PR Newswire (US)
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (Harris
Booth #513) -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international
communications and information technology company, and BAE Systems
today announced that their co- developed Highband Networking Radio
(HNR) is now available for purchase. The announcement was made
during the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Winter Symposium,
being held March 7 - 9 at the Broward County Convention Center in
Ft. Lauderdale. Developed to provide true ad-hoc, mobile
capabilities to network-centric military communications, the HNR is
the first to utilize directive beam technology to achieve higher
throughput over longer distances and with enhanced spectrum
efficiency. The HNR is the first product to provide fully mobile,
high-bandwidth, long-range, line-of-site connectivity between users
of widely dispersed LANs. The versatile system can be configured
for small combat unit applications, as well as for military
division/brigade/battalion network backbone applications. It
operates with equal effectiveness in fixed or on-the-move
applications. Designed for ease and speed of use, the HNR requires
only a power-up to establish a mobile, ad-hoc networking mesh,
helping to reduce manpower and simplify operations. "HNR provides
tremendous value to the user with its high throughput mesh network
and on-the-move capabilities," said Sheldon Fox, vice president and
general manager of Department of Defense Programs, Harris
Government Communications Systems Division. "We are very pleased to
announce its availability following a very successful demonstration
of its full range of capabilities this past January, including
voice-over-IP, video teleconferencing, high-definition video and
e-mail transmission at speeds of more than 30 megabits-per-second."
Potential HNR applications include the U.S. Army's Warfighter
Information Network-Tactical, Future Combat Systems, and Joint
Network Node programs; the U.S. Navy's transformational FORCEnet
program; the NATO Medium Extended Air Defense System program; and
the U.S. Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System
program. Standard components of the HNR include the Baseband
Processing Unit (BPU) and Directive Beam Antenna. The lightweight
BPU includes the processor that runs the Highband Network Waveform
and a built-in router. The Directive Beam Antenna can be mounted in
a variety of configurations, including on top of a mast or
integrated onto a vehicle roof. The radio also comes with control
software and interconnection cables. Options for mobile
applications include a precision, lightweight GPS receiver (PLRG)
unit, an inertial navigation gyroscope (ING), and a variety of
self-erecting masts. About Harris Corporation Harris is an
