The nation in Central Asia will receive the RF-7800H high-frequency (HF) manpack and RF-7850M multiband hand-held radios. The RF-7800H is the first HF manpack radio with high-speed wideband data capabilities, allowing users to transmit large data files over beyond line-of-sight links, Harris said in a statement.

The RF-7850M supports the latest wideband and narrowband networking waveforms and provides forward-deployed teams with capabilities to communicate with greater speed and detail, the company said.

“Harris radios deliver highly reliable and secure communications for critical missions on the battlefield,” Brendan O’Connell, president of international business at Harris RF Communications, said. “Both the RF-7800H and the RF-7850M radio systems are crucial for delivering secure, up-to-the-minute situational awareness and effective command and control.”
