Harris unveils MBC-100 mobile subscriber device

 

Harris Corporation introduced the Harris MBC-100 mobile
subscriber device for high-bandwidth applications over 700 MHz LTE networks.

The MBC-100 provides first responders with the capability
for simultaneous use of high-bandwidth mobile applications, including secure
streaming live video feeds, access to public safety databases, mobile
productivity applications and geo-location information.

 

“The MBC-100 is a truly unique device for 700 MHz
LTE networks that enables a number of mission-critical applications for first
responders,” said George Helm, vice president, Harris Public Safety and
Professional Communications.

 

The MBC-100 sets a new industry standard for enhanced
throughput and mobile vehicle connectivity over LTE networks so that first
responders can maximize the potential of LTE network communications to their
fullest.

 

The Harris MBC-100 delivers up to 18 Mbps of service to
LTE network subscribers for high-bandwidth applications.  It also delivers
128 bit encryption for secure voice and data communication while utilizing
industry-standard 3GPP Release 8 telecommunications requirements for 700 MHz
LTE networks.

 

These requirements mean that the MBC-100 is capable of
advanced LTE modulations including 2×2 Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO)
that allows the device to boost network performance by utilizing two antennas
for the transmitter and receiver.

 

To support location-based services and situational
awareness functionality — both high-demand applications for law enforcement
the MBC-100 includes an internal GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver with
a customized user interface that provides access to the subscriber’s position.
The client is also built to rugged public safety
requirements and features a mechanically hardened case that is both
water-resistant and safe from electrical interference.

 

The MBC-100 connects easily to existing vehicle-mounted
computers through a single USB 2.0 connector for both power and data; an
optional external power connector can be used if needed.

 

The MBC-100 includes Windows and Linux drivers, which
allow existing data applications to establish network connectivity through the
device.
