Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has introduced the Harris MBC-100 mobile subscriber device for high-bandwidth applications over 700 MHz LTE networks.  The MBC-100 provides first responders with the capability for simultaneous use of high-bandwidth mobile applications, including secure streaming live video feeds, access to public safety databases, mobile productivity applications and geo-location information. The Harris MBC-100 delivers up to 18 Mbps of service to LTE network subscribers for high-bandwidth applications.  It also delivers 128–bit encryption for secure voice and data communication while utilizing industry-standard 3GPP Release 8 telecommunications requirements for 700 MHz LTE networks.  These requirements mean that the MBC-100 is capable of advanced LTE modulations including 2x2 Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) that allows the device to boost network performance by utilizing two antennas for the transmitter and receiver.

To support location-based services and situational awareness functionality — both high-demand applications for law enforcement — the MBC-100 includes an internal GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver with a customized user interface that provides access to the subscriber's position. The client is also built to rugged public safety requirements and features a mechanically hardened case that is both water-resistant and safe from electrical interference. The MBC-100 connects easily to existing vehicle-mounted computers through a single USB 2.0 connector for both power and data; an optional external power connector can be used if needed.  The MBC-100 includes Windows® and Linux drivers, which allow existing data applications to establish network connectivity through the device.
