Booth # 923) Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international
communications and information technology company, has introduced
the RF-7800M-MP, a multiband, high-capacity tactical radio that

is the newest addition to a family of Harris tactical radio
products designed to broaden access to battlefield networking.

RF-7800M-MP provides secure voice and high-speed networked data
services with up to 20 watts of output power over an extended
frequency range of 30 MHz to 2 GHz -- a significant increase over
competing products. Designed for flexibility, the single-channel
radio runs both narrowband and wideband waveforms off a single
military battery, lightening the soldier's load on the battlefield.
A vehicular amplifier adapter, the RF-7800M-VA, is available to
boost power to 50 watts. "The RF-7800M-MP is a breakthrough radio
with advanced capabilities designed to empower warfighters with
information where and when they need it," said Steve Marschilok,
vice president and general manager, International Government
Systems, Harris RF Communications. "The radio offers a significant
leap in networking reliability, data throughput rates, and
miniaturization for our customers, and brings future capabilities
to the market now. In addition, the RF-7800M-MP is designed to
quickly accept new waveforms and capabilities that our customers
need." The initial release of the RF-7800M-MP will include the
Harris Advanced Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2) for mobile
ad-hoc networking. The ANW2 networking waveform provides secure IP
data to the tactical Internet at on-air rates up to 10 Mbps. The
radio's Software Communications Architecture (version 2.2) enables
the loading of future waveforms and ensures software
upgradeability. With 10 times the processing power of currently
fielded tactical radios, the RF-7800M-MP utilizes embedded 256-bit
AES encryption and provides simultaneous IP data, situational
awareness, and CNR voice. The RF-7800M-MP is part of a new family
of products in the Falcon(R) line of radios designed for
network-centric warfare, including the previously announced
RF-7800W Broadband Ethernet Radio and the RF-7800S Secure Personal
Radio. About Harris Corporation Harris is an international
