Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has received a contract to supply a multi-state, integrated, critical communication solution to one of the largest electric utilities in the US — the contract was received during the fourth quarter of Harris' fiscal 2017.

Harris will transition the customer from its legacy analog radio communication system to a Harris P25 Phase 2 digital network solution, providing increased functionality, reliability and security for its 10,000-plus users. The new integrated system will include Harris’ Symphony™ command center dispatch consoles, XL-200P advanced digital handheld radios, and the BeOn® Push-to-Talk application for integration of narrowband and broadband solutions.

“The ability to remain connected during the migration is a priority for our customer,” related Nino DiCosmo, president, Harris Public Safety and Professional Communications, who added that the company's solution will migrate more than 350 RF sites, over a five-year period, while maintaining communications between the new technology and the old.
