Harris announces Unity XG-100 multiband software-defined radio for public safety

The Harris Corp. RF Communications segment in Rochester, N.Y., is introducing the Unity family of multiband software-defined radios for federal, state, and local public-safety agencies. The first product is the Unity XG-100 multiband portable land mobile radio. The Unity XG-100 provides secure interoperable communications over public-safety frequency bands from 136 to 870 MHz, which would enable emergency personnel to communicate directly without carrying several radios or route transmissions through ad-hoc network bridges. The radio complies with the APCO Project 25 technical standard in conventional and trunking modes and is about the same size as fielded single-banded radios.
