Smartronix to provide Radio Data Adapters (RDAs) in support of USSOCOM
Smartronix, Inc. has been awarded a contract to provide Radio Data Adapter (RDA) cables to the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The multi-functional RDA cable provides simplified radio operations for the deployed war fighter, by allowing a single computer to perform up to five different radio interface tasks using a single USB connection port. One RDA cable replaces up to five separate cables reducing weight, power consumption, operator complexity and cost. The RDA cable currently supports the most frequently used military radios including: PRC-117G and PRC-117F, PRC-150, PRC-152, ARC-210, ARC-231, PSC-5, PRC-148, and SINCGARS and is DISA PDA-184 compatible.
"We are proud to continue serving the unique requirements of SOCOM by developing innovative, supportable and affordable solutions for our war fighters", says Steve Bishop, Director of Engineering Solutions at Smartronix.
