Harris Corporation Adds Broadband Satellite Data Mode to JTRS-Approved Falcon
III(R) AN/PRC-117G Multiband Manpack Radio

Software Upgrade Extends Range to Beyond-Line-of-Sight Communications Through
Integration with Harris RF-7800B Broadband Global Area Networking (BGAN)
Terminals

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (AUSA Booth #1439) -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and information
technology company, today announced the addition of broadband satellite data
capability to its JTRS-approved Falcon III(® )AN/PRC-117G wideband networking
radio. The software upgrade adds significant new features that will
facilitate global, high-data-rate communications between senior military
commanders and personnel at the tactical edge.

Integration of the AN/PRC-117G radio with the Harris RF-7800B family of
ruggedized Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) satellite terminals provides
warfighters with unique end-to-end, Type-1 secure beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS)
network communications connectivity. The Falcon III AN/PRC-117G is the first
JTRS-approved tactical radio to offer Type-1 secure access to high-bandwidth
applications such as streaming video, reconnaissance information and
biometrics--in addition to narrowband legacy waveforms.

"The integration of the AN/PRC-117G with our BGAN terminals provides customers
with a powerful solution for distributing information to the connected
battlefield," said Steve Marschilok, president of Department of Defense
Business, Harris RF Communications. "Our integrated system delivers BLOS data
and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance communication links from the
first tactical mile to strategic infrastructure, providing users at all levels
with a more thorough, common operational picture."

Customer-Focused Technology: Falcon III AN/PRC-117G
The AN/PRC-117G now delivers advanced wideband line-of-sight voice and data
networking capabilities through the Harris-developed Advanced Networking
Wideband Waveform (ANW2). The ANW2 waveform provides warfighters with secure
streaming video, biometrics, classified Internet access and other data
intensive intelligence applications.

The new software upgrade will allow users to extend the range of ANW2 data to
beyond-line-of-sight by linking the AN/PRC-117G to the BGAN network through
the RF-7800B. The combined system offers throughput rates of up to 2 Mbps
over the BGAN network when using embedded TCP/IP acceleration and compression,
thus reducing INMARSAT costs. It is the only integrated, military-rugged,
wideband SATCOM-on-the-move system capable of seamlessly maintaining
high-speed, end-to-end Type-1 encrypted IP data across an extended battle
space.

The addition of BGAN data mode to the AN/PRC-117G also will provide global
over-the-horizon "reach-back" capability, connecting operators with senior
commanders. This capability allows for faster and more informed
decision-making, improved mission efficiency and troop safety. Harris has
developed both a Class 2 Land Portable BGAN terminal for dismounted
applications and a Class 10 Land Mobile BGAN terminal for vehicles on the
move. Both terminals use the Inmarsat-4 BGAN satellite constellation. They
are available to domestic and international customers.

The Falcon III AN/PRC-117G radio is certified by the Joint Interoperability
Test Command (JITC) as compliant with Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA)
military standards and upgradeable to access the Mobile User Objective System
(MUOS), both for transmitting high-bandwidth voice and data over tactical
military satellites. The radio also has received certification for Type-1
information security from the National Security Agency.
