Hah! . . . You Probably Thought Radios Are Obsolete?

Harris Receives $29 M to Provide Tactical Radios to European Nation
 ASDNews: April 28, 2016
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has received two orders totaling $29 million to provide its Falcon® family of tactical radios to a customer in Europe as part of an ongoing standardization program designed to ensure interoperability during coalition operations. The orders were received during the third quarter of Harris’ fiscal 2016.
Harris will supply AN/PRC-152A Wideband Networking Handheld Radios, which provide simultaneous, secure voice and high-speed networked data; AN/PRC-117G Multiband Networking Manpack Radios, which support multiple missions by combining wideband networking, SATCOM and legacy narrowband interoperability in a single, lightweight package; and AN/PRC-150C HF/VHF Tactical Radios, which provide secure, long-range voice and data communications.
  • Provides Falcon Radio portfolio to meet coalition interoperability and long-range mission needs
  • Enables wideband networking, legacy narrowband interoperability and secure HF communications
  • Expands the current inventory of Harris tactical radios already in use by the customer
It's A Brave New World for Harris and their stock is booming. Let's bring this down to the local and Arizona - for "public safety" and surveillance that uses some of their products, like something called Stingray used by police departments [they can't disclose they use it, but they do] as you can see in the infographic to the right. It intercepts calls from your cellphone




Could that happen here?


Yes it does and it's not reported.

State of Illinois may have spied on citizen cellphone calls since 2008
They can hear you now and they probably could hear you eight years ago.
Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act appear to show that the Illinois State Police may have had access to cellphone eavesdropping equipment since 2008. 
That year, the documents published online appear to show, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich authorized the Illinois State Police to quietly purchase cell phone surveillance equipment for over $250,000.


. . . here's the purchase contract shown in the image to the right that was included in the report from The Illinois Review Crossroads of Thad Conservative Community

The reporter had to make a Freedom Of Information Act request to get it.
Fortunately, although we are conservative too here in Mesa where the City of Mesa, thanks to Open Government, Transparency and Accountability initiatives does publish both contract solicitations and contract awards
