  • Adds intelligent capabilities to new and existing TM9300 and TM9400 mobiles
  • Increases user productivity through flexible application support
  • Creates a network of networks through LMR, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Broadband (LTE) connectivity
  • Enhances worker safety by expanding vehicular communications     

Harris Unified Vehicle, powered by Tait, adds computing and network capabilities to new and existing TM9300 DMR and TM9400 P25 mobiles. This intelligent module creates a vehicle-area-network, providing connectivity through Land Mobile Radios (LMR), Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, 3G and Broadband (LTE).    

Harris Unified Vehicle delivers intelligent mobile hotspot capabilities that allow you to stay connected through an LMR or LTE network. Public Safety and utility workers can effectively communicate business-critical information through the device of their choice—radio, smartphone or tablet.

This Network Computing Platform runs on a Linux® operating system, and will include application support through Application Programming  Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs). Users can quickly integrate Push-To-Talk Android™ and IOS® apps into their mobile, or create new ones to meet specific needs. Harris Unified Vehicle enhances worker safety and security by storing timestamped records of all communications for playback and review. The module also works with Harris EnableFleet and Wi-Fi connections to more efficiently update radio configurations and firmware through Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP).

Features and Benefits

UNIFYING CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS Harris Unified Vehicle brings a whole new level of networking power to both new and existing Harris radios, including the TM9300 and TM9400. As technologies converge user capabilities grow, increasing complexities and demands on critical systems. Harris Unified Vehicle simplifies connectivity, supporting communication for users on the move where and when they need it most.

GREATER EFFICIENCIES AND EXPANDED COVERAGE Harris Unified Vehicle connects voice and data networks, increasing efficiencies by getting the right information to the right people via the fastest and most reliable methods available. This powerful application also expands existing mobile communication coverage areas and capabilities through access to long-range 3G and 4G LTE and shorter-range high-bandwidth Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

VoIP READY Harris Unified Vehicle’s platform allows a number of audio paths to be accessed and converted into VoIP. These streams can be used to deliver services over broadband and Ethernet ports.

POWERFUL APPLICATION SUPPORT This network computing platform features a Linux operating system with sufficient memory and operating speed to run several applications at the same time. Designed for ease of use, Harris Unified Vehicle has direct local connectivity with LMR processing platforms allowing many features to be accessed and tailored for specific communication needs.

ENHANCED FLEET AND ASSET AUDITING Security and safety of workers and vehicles are enhanced with abilities to log, record and play back time-stamped voice communications.

APPBUILDER This application provides a more user-friendly way of creating customized communications solutions. Behavior-based and graphical programming formats can be used.

HARRIS ENABLE-READY When combined with Harris Enable Suite, the TM9300 and TM9400 can be updated through multiple communications paths, including over Wi-Fi, for improved connectivity and speed for programming updates.
