The Glocom GR-8600M multiband handheld radio provides secure voice and high speed networked data in a highly portable form factor. The narrow band LOS, frequency hopping and the optional SATCOM capabilities ensure highly reliable communications for the severe conditions of tactical operations.

Providing situational awareness and data on demand, the GR-8600M seamlessly links dismounted and upper-echelon networks. Even in challenging urban and tactical environments, is can easily transmit mission-critical voice, data, imagery and video—and provide dismounted operators with access to real-time intelligence for increased situation awareness and faster decision-making.

Covering 30 to 512MHz frequency range—with 5W transmit power—support next-generation networking waveforms as well as UHF SATCOM and frequency hopping waveform with protected narrowband voice and data from hostile interference.

Built-in AES provides high-grade security for all transmission using a 256-bit key. The encryption algorithm can be customized by customer’s requirement.

With compact handheld form factor, the GR-8600M continues to support currently fielded accessories, and also supports interoperability with Glocom GR-310 VHF/UHF manpack radio—enabling seamless, enhanced connectivity in the hands for modern warfighters.
