"Harris leveraged its traditional defense communications and public safety and professional communications expertise to create this unique solution," said Andy Start, president, international business unit, Harris RF Communications. "This system will promote interoperable communications both within and across individual jurisdictions, such as first responder agencies and federal forces, allowing for improved operational planning, command and control and mission success."

Harris said the solution provided under the $10 million contract includes an integrated assured communication Internet Protocol-based system that enables military and law enforcement personnel to communicate over a multilevel network. The system consists of the Harris VIDA network, its P25IP mission-critical public safety radio system and tactical and law-enforcement radios.

Seamless communications interoperability between armed forces and law enforcement is delivered through NetworkFirst, the Harris interoperability gateway solution.

Included in the order are radios from the Harris RF Harris Falcon III and Falcon II families, including the Falcon III RF-7800S Secure Personal Radio, which provides communication in the 350 Mhz to 450 Mhz frequency range.
