Harris introduces tactical 3G cellular network-in-a-box for warfighters

May 01-15, 2011

Harris Corporation has introduced KnightHawk 3G — a ruggedised, highly mobile tactical base station that enables warfighters on the move to maintain 3G cellular services in locations with limited or no cellular connectivity.

Jointly developed by Harris and Battlefield Telecommunications Systems (BTS), KnightHawk 3G is a customisable cellular network-in-a-box (NIB) compatible with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment, including smartphones and tablets. Each KnightHawk 3G is installed with BTS Praefectus mission management software, which automates configuration and management of the cellular network, and enables each KnightHawk to operate autonomously or as a scalable network with hundreds of nodes for increased range. This compatibility allows users in the battlefield to leverage existing applications, thereby enabling them to track a team’s location, automatically translate foreign languages, and conduct remote training using existing advanced programmes.

KnightHawk 3G features UMTS high speed packet access, providing extremely fast connectivity of 14.4 mbps for downloads and up to 5.76 mbps for uploads.
