5.37 BEON OPERATION
5.37.1 Overview
The BeOn solution is a Voice over IP (VoIP) based, Push-to-Talk (PTT) communications system
operating over public or private wireless networks. The solution extends traditional Land Mobile
Radio (LMR) services onto the broadband capable third generation (3G) and 4G/LTE cellular
networks. This includes the ability to provide highly integrated interoperability services between
BeOn users on the cellular network and users of traditional LMR networks. L3Harris’ VIDA
®
IP
core network switching technology is the foundation for the BeOn application infrastructure. Thus,
the application and product suite provide many advanced features not found in competing
technologies and provide internetworking of those services between public and private
communications networks.
The XL Extreme Series Portable Radio supports BeOn operation over Wi-Fi or
LTE.
