The Harris RF-7800B-DU024 Land Portable Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) SATCOM Terminal provides tactical radio network capability that enhances the FALCON III multiband radio family. The RF-7800B-DU024 is a Class 2 BGAN Land Portable Terminal that provides data rates of up to 432 kbps. The RF-7800B-DU024 BGAN Terminal is designed for operation in harsh environmental conditions. The RF-7800B-DU024 terminal is a manually pointed antenna system capable of rapid deployment for sending and receiving data once pointed at the satellite. When used with the AN/PRC-117G(V)1(C) or the RF-7800M-MP manpack radios, the terminal provides a multimode system that utilizes ad-hoc networking to automatically route between mobile wideband networked line-of-sight (LOS) nodes, adding global beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) satellite connectivity. The Falcon III integrated system manages Inmarsat subscriber costs through the automated routing between ANW2 LOS and BLOS nodes. The system is designed to ensure a seamless tactical network-centric BLOS connectivity to the existing FALCON III tactical networks, providing secure IP data transfer capability and increased communications reliability. When used with the Falcon III manpack radios, the Harris BGAN terminals can provide an increased effective throughput of up to 2 Mbps over the Inmarsat network due to TCP/IP acceleration and compression algorithms within the ANW2 waveform, further reducing Inmarsat subscriber costs. The Harris BGAN Terminal IP data is encrypted by the Sierra IITM Type-1 algorithms in the AN/PRC-117G or the AcropolisTM II AES encryption algorithms in the RF-7800M-MP. The embedded software of the manpack radio provides the ability to fully configure, remotely control and provide status and fault monitoring of the RF-7800B-DU024 BGAN Terminal using the radio's front panel, making it the easiest BGAN Terminal to set up and operate. The RF-7800B-DU024 can be considered for global network connectivity solutions when used as a standalone terminal with a computer for applications such as law enforcement, homeland security, or humanitarian and disaster relief efforts.
