The RF-6010 Tactical Network Access Hub provides FALCON II^® radio
users with easy-to-use access to other voice and data communication
systems. The RF-6010 works by converting commercial standard voice
and data formats into the industry-leading RF waveforms integrated
into Harris FALCON II radios. The RF-6010 enhances radio networks
consisting of the following FALCON II radios: the RF-5800H-MP HF
Manpack, the RF-5800V-MP VHF Manpack, the RF-5800V-HH VHF
Handheld Radio, the RF-5800M-HH Multiband Handheld radio, the
AN/PRC-117F(C) multiband radio and the AN/PRC-150(C) HF radio.
Depending on operational needs, the RF-6010 can work as a
standalone four-subscriber switch or in conjunction with commercial
or tactical phone switches. There are direct connections for four local
(FXS) phones in addition to connections for eight outside (FXO) phone
lines. The RF-6010 provides switching capability between FALCON II
radio networks and the four local phones. Usage of the outside
phone lines requires a switch to provide linking services between
external phone users and the RF-6010’s tactical radio nets.
The RF-6010 supports up to four FALCON II HF, VHF or multiband
radio nets. A single-channel model is also available. Radio users can
enter a phone number directly into the keypad of their radio and
reach any phone connected to the RF-6010, as well as phones
connected to the phone switch, if it is present. Calls can be made
from an outstation radio in one network to an outstation radio in a
different network through the RF-6010 and its connected base radios.
The system allows phone users unfamiliar with tactical radio operation
to gain access to mobile or fixed tactical radio networks. Private radio-
to-radio dialing is also possible within a radio network by using the
selective calling feature embedded inside the FALCON II radios.
The RF-6010 features both 10Base2 and 10BaseT Ethernet
interfaces with internal routing capability to direct IP traffic.
While not required for normal IP operation by the
FALCON II radio family, the RF-6010 serves as a
central access point for mobile tactical IP radio
networks. Integration of IP data transfer,
phone calls, and normal digital voice
operation is handled automatically and
seamlessly by the RF-6010 and the
FALCON II radios.
