Daniels awarded US security contract

Daniels Electronics has been awarded a five-year contract with the US Department of Homeland Security for the supply of digital public safety radio systems under the multiple award IDIQ US$3 billion tactical communications (TACCOM) contract.

This contract will provide government public safety agencies with digital public safety radios using the company’s generation of firmware-based digital radio technology.

“Daniels is very pleased to be awarded this substantial contract with the US government and to be able to provide advanced digital communications in support of public safety,” said Robert Small, president and COO of Daniels Electronics. “It demonstrates Daniels’ world-class products and shows we are developing the right public safety products to meet the needs of public safety.”

The contract will be used by a number of US government agencies over the next five years to expand and upgrade their government’s radio networks to provide digital communications for the first-line public safety responders.
