The Barrett PRC-2083+ rebroadcast system is commonly used to link dual-band VHF networks providing extended range to overcome communication difficulties due to distance or terrain. The two networks can use different security options (frequency hopping and encryption) providing an interoperable solution that can be deployed on campus. The rebroadcast system uses two PRC-2084+ 50 Watt systems and combines a nine-band co-located filter assembly and AC/DC power supply with battery backup facilities, all housed in one MIL-SPEC rugged transportable case allows for easy deployment in any field environment.
Automatic link setup (ALE) (optional):
PRC-2090 is available with full MIL-STD-188-141B 2G ALE (JITC certified) and FED-STD 1045 ALE. When selected, the Barrett PRC-2090 provides full interoperability with all other military and commercial equipment that complies with this standard along with enhanced telephone connectivity. The optional Tactical Field Data Terminal (FDT) provides the PRC-2090 with the latest 3G ALE STANAG 4538 with enhanced capabilities for billing, messaging, GPS tracking and radio status for communications. communication is simple and reliable.
Detachable screen:
Display, complete with advanced full-featured tactical handheld remote control from the transceiver. This allows the operator to wear the display device on their front band and have full operational access to the pack containing them without removing the manpack transceiver itself. For mobile and tactical base applications, an optional expansion control interface allows the transceiver to be conveniently located away from the operator. This is ideal for command or vehicle installation operations where space is limited.
Advanced DSP Noise Reduction:
The new digital signal processor (DSP) provides clear, intelligible voice communications over analog circuits through the elimination of digital noise and background noise. signal to provide easier. Barrett digital voice options provide the highest digital quality for voice clarity among similarly equipped transceivers, regardless of prevailing HF conditions.
Secure communication (optional):
The PRC-2090 can be equipped with a variety of digital scrambling and encryption options for voice and data security. Options include Barrett's unique SecureCall feature, an innovative narrowband scrambler that provides secureSelcall-initiated point-to-point or point-to-point communication over both extended pre-encrypted voice channels, regardless of encryption. Base level network encryption is used to enable secure point-to-point or multi-point communication within a secure network. Secure voice and data operations are further assured with a variety of internal and external encryption options for both voice and data communications, from 128-bit keyed FTT voice encryption to DES 56 and standard Export-controlled AES 256 digital encryption standard, all interoperable with Barrett's patented frequency hopping providing instant access. Delay entry synchronization delay. Additionally, the PRC-2090's front panel connectors provide an interface to external OEM voice encryption devices allowing operators to maintain cross-operability between security solutions. sourced from multiple suppliers.
Advanced frequency hopping (optional):
Unique, easy-to-use frequency hopping option (depending on output control) requires no central synchronization station, no entries or time delays, and no handshake required. Hopping rates of 5 or 25 codes/second, using a 10-digit hopping encryption key, and with user-selectable hopping bandwidth to accommodate a variety of antenna types. The system provides excellent protection against electronic warfare (EW) attacks and can operate for long periods in theater without synchronization.
