MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Miami Beach has selected Florida-based Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) to modernize its critical communications network – transitioning it from a legacy analog radio system to a new digital network that provides increased reliability and functionality for 1,000-plus first responders.
Miami Beach joins other South Florida communities – including Aventura, Coral Gables, the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County – that have chosen Harris’ advanced technology to connect its first responders.
Harris will provide an end-to-end digital solution that delivers unified, interoperable communications for voice, data and applications across multiple agencies, and simplifies complex dispatch center operations.
