The MCA is a partner program for leading technology vendors offering products and services that are complementary to L3Harris’ core network and radio platforms.

TRX Systems, developer of NEON® Location Solutions, announced today its membership in the L3Harris Technologies Mission Critical Alliance (MCA). 

TRX’s NEON Location Service is a mission-critical location technology that enhances situational awareness and safety for personnel operating in areas where GPS is unavailable or unreliable. NEON® enables seamless 3D location and tracking for personnel operating indoors, underground, in dense urban areas, and in areas where GPS may be intentionally denied. The NEON Location Service fuses data from device sensors with available map and RF data to calculate each user’s 3D location in real time. With the NEON® API, mission-critical location data can be shared across the MCA ecosystem for visualization of first responder locations indoors and out, including elevation (z-axis), which is vital for real-time operational effectiveness.

In addittion to the entrance of TRX Systems, Drakontas (Devoloper of Dragonforce, a mobile team collaboration platform that delivers critical communications command and control and incident managment capabilities as well as mission-critical communications recording specialist Exacom joined the MCA.

James Sim, President, and CEO of Drakontas, LLC. “Drakontas is excited to bring its suite of team collaboration tools to the L3Harris Technologies Mission Critical Alliance. Our team is looking forward to working with the L3Harris MCA in “advancing the capabilities, compatibility, and security of mission-critical solutions.”

President & CEO Al Brisard of Exacom: "Exacom is proud to be the preferred logging recorder of L3Harris and now part of the mission critical alliance. This consortium does not just create deeper integrations with L3Harris products. Alliance members collaborate to achieve interoperability and higher level of value when applicable. We are excited for what the future of this group holds as we all strive to bring the absolute best and most trusted solutions to the mission-critical market.”

 

The MCA is a partner program for leading technology vendors offering products and services that are complementary to L3Harris’ core network and radio platforms. Alliance members explore technology synergies, furthering the development of interoperable communications in a connected, Internet of Things (IoT) environment.
