The RF-7800V-HH radio's unique use of MELP vocoder technology delivers an extended communication range beyond other VHF tactical radios. In addition, MELP ensures maximum voice communication quality and clarity. Dual Net Push to Talk (PTT) capability unifies upper and lower echelon communication by giving operators instant access to two discrete communication networks with the push of a key. To ensure easy and intuitive use, a split-screen display shows key details for both networks in use. Through the combination of an embedded GPS receiver and a new TDMA waveform, the RF-7800V-HH enables communication of situational awareness information to Battlefield Management Systems (BMS) such as C2PC or other off-the-shelf solutions. With support for both mounted and dismounted use, the RF-7800V-HH provides greater flexibility for BMS situational awareness, and commanders can monitor individual radios on a BMS interface with no interruption of voice or situational awareness data. The radio can also be updated with new features — such as future waveforms — through software upgrades. This architecture gives forces the ability to easily expand the functionality of their existing solution even after it has been installed.

Warfighter Comms Expanded With Harris Debut Of Falcon III VHF Tactical Radio
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has released their Falcon III nexgen VHF handheld, the new RF-7800V-HH VHF handheld tactical radio.
Designed to expand the communication capabilities of warfighters on today's networked battlefield, Harris' RF-7800V-HH provides features and performance superior to any other VHF radio available - handheld or manpack. The RF-7800V-HH is equipped with direct plug-n-play USB and Ethernet inputs, eliminating the need for a PC to bridge the radio to peripherals such as webcams or digital cameras, and optimizing it for ease of use in the field. In addition, the ability to connect directly to a USB mass storage device enables easy transfer of mission information or other stored data. With an IP data rate of up to 192kbps, the RF-7800V-HH enables fast transmission of bandwidth intensive information such as streaming video and high resolution image files. In addition, the radio supports simultaneous voice and data transfer to allow users to talk while they are sending videos, images or situational awareness data.
