Harris Recognized as 1st Radio Manufacturer to Meet DHS's P25 CAP Standards

(Boston, MA., January 28, 2010) -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, announced its P5400 800MHz Project 25 (P25) portable radio is the first to meet the demanding standards required by the Department of Homeland Security's P25 Compliance Assessment Program (CAP) compliance process. Compliance with P25 standards is key to achieving much-needed interoperability among the nation's emergency response community.

The P25 CAP is a voluntary program managed in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Office of Law Enforcement Standards and a coalition of emergency responders and communications equipment manufacturers.


"In addition to meeting the standards, Harris has constructed a P25 compliance assessment lab in Lynchburg, Virginia, which is certified by the Department of Homeland Security and is actively testing equipment to P25 CAP standards," said George Helm, vice president and general manager, Harris Public Safety and Professional Communications.
