The New Generation of Communication Devices

The old MK-77

Both the MK-710 and MK-714 are significantly lighter and more reliable than the old transceiver. While the working time (time between check-ups and repairs) for the old device was around 100 hours, the two new transceivers can go unattended for over 3,000 hours. They add a wider range of operational frequencies and one is even being completely encrypted.

The new transceiver MK-710 -- lightweight and reliable

“The devices greatly improve our operational capability. Within 4 years, we won’t be seeing any of the old transceivers,” said the head of the Ground Forces Teleprocessing Corps, Colonel Ronen. Goodbye to the dinosaurs, hello to a IDF's new communications age.
