The Nevada Shared Radio System (NSRS) has awarded Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) a $108 million contract to provide a critical communications network that increases coverage, reliability, interoperability and functionality for more than 16,000 users across 90 agencies.

Harris will provide an end-to-end 126-site multicast/simulcast system, including a Voice, Interoperability, Data and Access (VIDA ) converged and integrated service platform; SymphonyTM command center dispatch consoles; XL-200P full-spectrum, LTE-capable, multiband P25 radios; and the BeOn mobile Push-to-Talk application for integration of narrowband and broadband solutions.

This extends a 20-plus-year partnership with Nevada Shared Radio System providing mission-critical communications capabilities for its users across the state, said Nino DiCosmo, president, Harris Public Safety and Professional Communications. This is truly a public-private partnership, and we look forward to providing the essential connectivity that will enable Nevada's first responders to serve their communities.
