TH5320 (2M), TH5325 (20M)

The Thales TH5320/TH5325 2-channel tactical radio significantly enhances the capabilities of the widely fielded PRC6809 radio. The TH5320/TH5325 offers all the existing functionally of the current PRC6809 radio with the addition of the TrellisWare® TSM™ wideband networking waveform capability. Within a compact, lightweight, rugged package, the radio provides simultaneous narrowband and wideband communications
capabilities necessary to support tactical command and control communications in a variety of challenging radio-operating environments.

The robust TSM waveform provides superior voice and data communications across harsh multipath and highly dynamic environments, such as shipboard, caves and urban operational settings.
