Barrett in new US partnership and US government contract

Australia’s Barrett Communications has announced a partnership with US company Royal Communications International, as well as the award of a follow-on FMS contract with the US Mission in Central Asia.

Royal Communications has provided sales and support for HF radiocommunications solutions for more than 30 years.

The company will team with Barrett within the US to deliver sales, training, installation, technical and warranty support for the full range of Barrett HF solutions.

“Our US investment strategy is two-fold, our partnership with Royal Communications and our US manufacturing facility provides us a truly ‘Made in USA’ product, bringing us closer to our US customer base and enhancing our ability to deliver the next level in product and customer service in the USA,” said Barrett Communications USA Corp. General Manager, John Eschenfelder.

The Barrett PRC-2090 HF manpack and vehicle systems are being used by the US-funded Counter Narcotics Global Threats program for strategic communications and force tracking capabilities.

“We live in unprecedented times and conditions are changing rapidly,” said Andrew Burt, Barrett Communications CEO.

“Barrett Communications are committed to ensuring the supply of our products and solutions, and as a global company we are investing in our manufacturing and support capability globally to ensure our customers continue to receive the personalised service they are accustomed to.”
