This order is for both high-frequency (HF) and VHF equipment including base station, vehicle and manpack configurations. During the past 15 years, the Bangladesh Army has maintained an annual procurement program with Barrett Communications. This program includes HF and VHF radio communications equipment, in-country and Perth, Australia-based train-the-trainer training for radio operators, system enhancements and ongoing spare parts.

“The long-standing and successful relationship we have with the Bangladesh MoD must be credited to the strong relationship we have with Bahadur, managing director, and his team at Radiant,” said Mr. Greg O’Neill, managing director of Barrett Communications. The Bangladesh MoD represents a significant part of our sales in the Asian region, and we look forward to continuing this relationship well into the future.”
