ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) received today National Fire Protection Association certification for its emergency responder radio solution, the XL Extreme™ 400P radio and XL Extreme Speaker Microphone, validating they meet the most rigorous emergency responder requirements.

The flagship solution of the next-generation XL series of devices, the XL Extreme radio is purpose-built to meet the demands of professional communications users.

“NFPA certification of our Extreme solution proves it is, by far, the most rugged and survivable radio we have ever produced and a true communications solution for the rigors of firefighting,” said Nino DiCosmo, President, Public Safety and Professional Communications, L3Harris. “We make concerted efforts to enhance the safety of those who protect our communities, and the XL Series is the culmination of years of customer engagements and investments to ensure first responders return home safe every day.”
