Tait Communications is extending its portfolio of critical communications solutions, partnering with UK company Handsfree Group to globally market the Tait R5 Broadband Command and Control solution, including exclusive sales in the US and Canada.

Ideal for public safety and utilities, the Tait R5 is a powerful broadband-based edge computing platform which can integrate with P25 and DMR radio networks and Tait mobile terminals. The Tait R5 delivers a single in-vehicle interface to access a broadband hotspot, push-to-talk over cellular (PTToC), 4G/5G cellular networks, and mapping, as well as manage multiple video streams and control vehicle lights, sirens, external PA speakers and matrix signage. This can reduce the amount of equipment needed in the limited space available and drive down the cost of a fully integrated vehicle solution.

Tait Communications provides a range of LMR and broadband solutions for critical communications, with a core focus on open standards, flexibility and integration to tailor solutions to meet customers’ needs. The Tait R5 is a significant addition to the portfolio.
