| “The piece of equipment that I work with primarily is the MBITR and it is an
incredibly capable radio across the board, and one of the best pieces of
equipment that the Army has procured in recent years for
communications. I just don’t have any complaints about it. It is an
incredible system that meets all our requirements for communications…It
just provides me with a wide spectrum of communications capabilities that
some other radios systems aren’t capable of doing.” Soldier, US Army
“The radio and the accessories that we get from Thales are outstanding.
They do what we require them to do, when we require them to do it, in the
environments that we use them in. That is what determines reliability,
effectiveness, and quality for me.” Airman, US Navy
“We get really good support from the company. We just did an upgrade
and everything that Thales does makes it easier for people to use. And in
the accessories, in a war time situation, it makes it easier for our people
to use. The accessories are really good; hand mikes and ear pieces. The
ear pieces make it more convenient because if someone is contacting
them in one ear, that leaves one ear available for them to hear what’s
going on around them.” Soldier, US Army
“We are a government agency and they know what our requirements were
and were able to accommodate us. They understand government needs.” Airman, USAF.
“I like that it is tactical and that we can use it as a squad radio. I can give
it to six people and it has good range, good output and good reception.
The MBITR is also very user friendly. We can give it to new men in the
infantry and they are able to use it. It is simplified and easy for them to
operate.” Soldier, US Army
“Thales makes a really reliable product. They can take a beating and keep
on going. I also like the ease of use.” Marine, USMC
“I think they developed the best radio in the Army right now. Their
engineers sat down and thought about what the soldier needs, a small
lightweight radio, multi-band. I am highly impressed with their
engineering and product development.” Soldier, US Army
“I used the radios in Afghanistan. I had to figure them out on my own. It
was an extremely valuable asset for me for the four months I was there.
We recovered one that had a bullet hole in it and it still worked. They are
durable and strong. With the one I used, I could talk to anyone in the
world.” Airman, USAF
