Motorola Saber Software Plus User Nodes

I called Motorola and they are no longer available or supported.

Motorola is VERY protective of its intellectual property - software, equipment manuals, etc.

The RSS licensing agreement prohibits the transfer of RSS to anyone for any reason by a licensee.

So no, there is no legitimate way to get Motorola software except through Ma M.

The radio is in production and has been fielded with USSOCOM.

While the PRC-148 includes US Type 1 capabilities in all versions, the PRC-6809 uses Level III Data Encryption Standard, making it available to police, firefighters, and militaries unable to obtain International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) approval.

The fully compatible system is the JTRS HMS, (Handheld, Manpack and Small form-fit) being developed by General Dynamics, and expected to be introduced in 2010.

Thales Communications, BAE Systems, and Rockwell Collins are all prime subcontractors.

The HMS is expected to be an integral part in the US Armys Future Combat Systems program.

Data connection by USB or RS-232.

Motorola Saber Software Plus User Nodes

Typical Blue Force Tracking (BFT) configuration of a MELANIE network consists of at least a Headquarter station plus user nodes.

MELANIE Handheld is able to send its own position over the VHF or SAT network while exchanging data (Chat, File transfer, Video, TRCER, etc.).

In transparent mode it has a throughput of 13.5 kbits with FEC.

The device is built by Thales Italia Chieti Site, 14 a subsidiary of the Thales Group.

Easily mounted in air, land, or sea vehicles, they provide power amplification for range extension while recharging the installed ANPRC-148 radios.
