In a densely vegetated jungle, soldiers are faced with harsh conditions - visibility is minimal on the ground, and tall trees with abundant foliage form canopies that force out the light of day. On their backs, they carry manpack radios, allowing them to communicate with one another through the trees and underbrush. By selecting an alternative mode, they can relay mission-critical information back to command through mobile units or request support from nearby aircraft. While this may sound like a simple scenario, tactical radio technology did not always allow for communication in multiple frequency bands and in several modes. The development of multiband radios has increased effectiveness in communications for militaries around the world by providing this capability to warfighters. Not only can multiband radios utilize VHF, UHF, and upper frequency bands, they also deliver greater power and range - enabling robust voice and data connectivity. Appropriate at the brigade level and below, multiband radios are a standalone solution with capabilities that make them valuable in a variety of applications, including line-of-sight and ground-to-air communications, as well as SATCOM and beyond-line-of-sight scenarios.
