Thales Communications, Inc., a global leader in the development, manufacture, and support of innovative communications systems for warfighters, has introduced the MBITR2, at the recent Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict Symposium and Exhibition (SO/LIC) in Washington, DC.
The MBITR2, the next generation Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio, builds on the legacy of the smallest, lightest, most power-efficient multiband, tactical, handheld radio in use today.
By leveraging technologies based on the leading narrowband AN/PRC-148 tactical handheld radio and the leading wideband AN/PRC-154 tactical handheld radio, the MBITR2 provides the dismounted warfighter with the ability to integrate into the wideband tactical IP and voice network via the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) wideband channel while simultaneously maintaining legacy reach-back via the narrowband channel.
The MBITR2 retains interoperability with existing fielded radios and addresses tomorrow’s requirements for a next generation, wideband, networking handheld radio.
