1.8 COMPATIBILITY
Successful communications depends on using compatible radios and terminal equipment (computer with web
interface).
1.8.1 BGAN Compatible Radios
The following radios with embedded BGAN terminal remote control capability are compatible with the BGAN
terminal:
 AN/PRC-117G(V)1(C)
 RF-7800M-MP
The BGAN terminal IP data is encrypted by the Sierra II™ Type-1 algorithms in the AN/PRC-117G or the
Acropolis™ II Advanced Encryption Service (AES) encryption algorithms in the RF-7800M-MP. The embedded
software of the manpack radio provides the ability to fully configure, remotely control and provide status and fault
monitoring of the BGAN terminal using the radio’s front panel.
When linked to Harris Falcon III manpack radios or SecNet 54 encryption modules, RF-7800B BGAN terminals
provide end-to-end Type-1 High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptors (HAIPE)-certified security (AN/PRC-
117G) or AES256 (RF-7800M-MP) for data transmissions over long-range commercial networks.
