EID signs €7.5 radio systems contract with Portuguese MoD

Cohort company EID has finalised and signed a €7.5 million contract with the Portuguese Ministry of Defence (Portuguese MoD) to provide software-defined digital multiband, multirole and multimode tactical PRC-525 radio systems for the Portuguese Army.



Above: EID is to supply a further batch of PRC-525 radios to the Portuguese Army.

The PRC-525, which is widely recognised for its HF/VHF/UHF multiband and full IP capabilities, is already in service in Portuguese Army and Navy.

The initial contract, amounting to around 40 million Euros, was completed in 2015 and the new contract confirms the excellent performance and reliability of the EID radios, which have been extensively used in operational scenarios, exercises and peace keeping missions.
