Communication Solutions for . . .
	Government Agencies & Partners Information Radio Systems allow federal, state, local and tribal agencies, with their private-sector partners, to speak to the public via car radio and portable devices 24/7. This unique noncommercial service can be a lifesaver when public safety is an issue. Choose among fixed, portable and wide-area versions with special signage options. Licensing, installation, training, emergency rentals and simulcast streaming services are available.

These systems operate in association with a local government agency or educational institution.

These solutions are ready-to-ship for the most common AM frequencies. Options include short-term rentals, preowned components and discounted engineering services.
