The American Special Forces use their own type of new generation squad based radio technology known as wideband tactical communications networks. This lets soldiers call, text, or video conference from anywhere in the world.

The next generation radios are the Falcon III manpack. It will generate and transmit the signal and its radio systems tap into SOCOM's (US Special Operations Command) wideband tactical communications network which allows units in the field to exchange important information over voice, video, or data feeds.

The radio's proprietary Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2) can produce 10 times the bandwidth of the Type-1 radios currently in the field. It can distribute data signals with information assurance protection and automatic routing across complex terrain.
