Harris Corporation's (NYSE: HRS) Unity XG-100 Full-Spectrum Multiband Radio has received the SDR Forum Technology of the Year Award. The radio provides federal, state and local agencies with a portable "one-for-all" solution - delivering true interoperability to first responders and public safety professionals.

The Unity XG-100 supports digital APCO P25 secure and analog FM communications across VHF, UHF, 700 MHz and 800 MHz public safety bands in a single portable radio. Its capabilities enable first responders to use a single radio to communicate with multiple jurisdictions and agencies operating on different frequencies and systems. The Unity XG-100 is built to military standards for ruggedness and immersibility. It is designed to be intrinsically safe and features a true software-defined radio architecture that allows flexibility for future growth.

The SDR Forum Technology of the Year Award is presented to an individual or organization for a breakthrough product or technology in the field of software-defined or cognitive radio, as selected by the Forum's membership. The award was presented to Harris at the SDR'09 Technical Conference and Product Exposition this month in Washington, D.C.
