Firehouse's Peter Matthews talks with Jason Burt, senior manager of sales engineering with L3 Harris, about innovations in portable radios, including changes to NFPA 1802, mission-critical push-to-talk, and other advances found integrated into the L3Harris XL Extreme 400P radio.
The two discuss how the revisions to NFPA 1802 focused on innovations to radios and the speaker microphone, and how broadband and mission-critical push-to-talk will play a role in the future landscape of fire and rescue communications.
Burt details current data streaming capabilities, including GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LTE, and how that impacts situational awareness and incident command's decision-making abilities.
Burt will demonstrate the public address system has improved communications among firefighters operating at emergency scenes, and how L3Harris is collaborating with other alliance members to further enhance the capabilities of firefighting technology.
