Harris Supplying RF-7800W Radios for RAMS

High-Capacity Line-of-Sight Radios Will Establish Wireless Links Between Airplanes and Ground Stations, Providing Imagery for Improved Decision-Making

(Rochester, NY., April 23, 2008) -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, is providing its new RF-7800W high-capacity line-of-sight radios to a U.S. government project for maximizing the use of high-quality digital images in emergency management.

"The RF-7800W will provide the infrastructure needed to transfer important information in real time, allowing emergency crews to create more effective response plans," said Kevin Kane, director of U.S. Business Development and Federal Agency Sales, Harris RF Communications. "The radio system offers a solution that has applications throughout the federal government for providing instant communications, particularly for emergency response and homeland security."

Harris is supplying the RF-7800W to the Real Time Airborne Management System (RAMS) for emergency scenarios. The RAMS system will enable public safety teams to receive up-to-date digital images to direct their response to natural disasters such as hurricanes, which can damage the landscape and hinder the ability of emergency crews to respond to victims in need.
