Harris Corporation… Tablet To The Rescue (Comms)

August 22, 2012

[SatNews] First responders needing mission-critical information while in the field or traveling to the scene of an incident now have a…

…ruggedized tablet for transmitting and receiving data, video, voice, location and text-based information over public safety broadband networks. The BTC-100 ruggedized tablet from Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) leverages 700 MHz Long-Term Evolution (LTE) to meet the current and future needs of public safety agencies.

The Harris BTC-100 tablet delivers mission-critical information to first responders in real-time for instantaneous communication and coordination during day-to-day activities and emergency situations. The easy-to-use tablet provides an intuitive user interface based on the Android™ operating system. It features a compact, lightweight and ergonomic design for single right- or left-handed operation and is adaptable for multi-touch and gloved-hand use. With the Harris BeOn® application, users have push-to-talk voice capability for communication with traditional Land Mobile Radio and LTE networks, as well as location, presence and text services.

The Harris BTC-100 tablet features front- and rear-facing cameras and noise-cancellation technology to improve the quality of voice communications. The hardened rugged enclosure with sunlight readable display provides reliable operation in heat, cold and other extreme environments. The tablet also offers integrated Bluetooth(r) and Wi-Fi for added connectivity, GPS and internal sensors for location and movement tracking. The tablet includes an interchangeable, high-capacity battery for extended use. The Harris BTC-100 tablet is designed for operation on LTE networks, as well as with the Harris VIDA® network, a unified IP-based voice and data communication platform. VIDA is interoperable with other P25 (Project 25) systems, including Harris LTE solutions, P25, P25 simulcast sites, P25 ISSI and P35 Voice and Data on Control. VIDA delivers full IP management features, including interoperability without intervention of console operators, IP consoles and other benefits inherent in open IP architecture systems.


Harris will provide live demonstrations of this and other technology in its booth (#713) at the APCO International 78th Annual Conference & Expo, August 19-22, 2012, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Additionally, public safety and mission-critical radio users now have a feature-rich, reliable and economical mobile radio solution for…

…narrowband and Project 25 (P25) communications. The XG-25M mobile radio from Harris Corporation uses advanced technology to deliver critical interoperable communications and unique wireless applications to mission-critical users. The Harris XG-25M mobile radio supports both wideband and narrowband channels. Its software-defined architecture enables field upgrading to future operating modes, including P25 Phase 2. The durable construction of the radio allows easy operation in demanding environments as well as during day-to-day activities.

The Harris XG-25M includes a complete complement of features suited for a wide variety of mission-critical users’ requirements. These features include an over-sized speaker and the AMBE+2 vocoder for enhanced audio, Bluetooth functionality and a rugged design that meets MIL-STD0810G for shock and vibration, dust, salt fog, humidity, rain, solar radiation, low pressure and temperature extremes. The XG-25M also has an Ingress Protection rating of IP54 for dust intrusion and sloshing water.

Harris will be conducting live demonstrations of this and other technology in its booth (#713) at the APCO International 78th Annual Conference & Expo, August 19-22, 2012 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
