The RF-7800I systems have been designed to provide crew with an ability to communicate with each other within the vehicle, simultaneously generating a network backbone capable of efficiently integrating with other vehicular and handheld tactical radio systems.

Manufactured by Harris under license from WB Electronics, the RF-7800I is a rugged vehicular intercom system for providing in-vehicle voice and data communication, tactical network connectivity, as well as battle management system interoperability to users even in the noisiest environments.

Systems are equipped with easy-to-install and lightweight components with minimal power requirements for operation, and can be easily configured according to user specific requirements with a simple and intuitive configuration tool due to its modular architecture.

Developed to MIL-STD-810F specifications, the system also enables the vehicle crew to communicate with dismounted soldiers, other vehicles or command centres through high-frequency (HF), very high-frequency (VHF), ultra-high-frequency (UHF), SPR and broadband global area network (BGAN) satellite communications technology.
