We are committed to delivering wideband capability with the highest standards of portability and interoperability.''

The field-proven AN/PRC-117G provides unprecedented situational awareness through wideband networking of the battlefield. The software-defined, upgradeable AN/PRC-117G enables applications such as streaming video, simultaneous voice and data feeds, collaborative chat, and connectivity to secure networks. Harris has shipped more than 20,000 AN/PRC-117G radios to all branches of the U.S. military as well as allies such as Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Australia, Poland and several other countries in NATO.
