Tait Communications TM9900 Multiband Multiprotocol Mobile Radio

Tait Communications has announced the TM9900 Multiband Multiprotocol Mobile Radio for public safety communications, following on from its TP9900 portable radio.

The Tait 9900 series radios are suitable for P25 communications, with the ability to add DMR and analog channels. By supporting both P25 and DMR standards, the series enables communication between police and fire agencies with other mission-critical organisations, including schools, utilities, local government, surf lifesaving, coastguard and transportation.

The radios are configurable to operate on any combination of VHF, UHF and 700/800 MHz and 900 MHz bands. Bands are not locked and can be reconfigured at any time. The TM9900 North American release is capable of 50 W VHF, 40 W UHF, 35 W 700/800 MHz and 900 MHz; for other regions, a 25 W VHF/UHF release will follow.

The TM9900 has a large range of control head options, enabling customers to choose the user interface best suited for the role and featuring options that make vehicle installation quick and easy, reducing the cost of a fleet upgrade. Control head options include local dash mount and remote kits, a built-in 4 W speaker or built-in keypad, with optional keypad microphone and 15 W rugged external speaker compatible with any Tait control head.

Tait 9900 series radios can operate in Analog Conventional, P25 Conventional, P25 Trunking Phase 1 and Phase 2, DMR Tier 2 Conventional and DMR Tier 3 Trunking modes; changing between modes is as easy as changing channels. They are useful as single-band P25 radios, as well as software upgradeable to add multiband and multiprotocol DMR capability when needed. Designed for a changing world, the series’ futureproof flexibility enables users to move forward with fleet upgrades today and evolve over time.
