Available in a variety of enclosures and capable of supporting Analog or P25 digital applications the transportable repeaters are available in all the frequency bands offered by Daniels to solve many of the interoperability problems faced by Public Safety agencies. Daniels also offers a full complement of accessories to create a total radio solution for emergency deployment.

President's Desk

Last month it was a pleasure to talk with many of you at APCO. The show was very busy and productive and as you can see above we still have a number of shows remaining this year and hope to see you at one of them.

Our new MT-4E radios with their firmware flashing capability create a new way of providing new services and features to our customers and to facilitate this we have added a software download section to our webpage. This is one of many recent developments that I am pleased to share with you in this newsletter.

I would also like to welcome our new sales channel partners and our 100th dealer on board as we expand our sales efforts and provide you our customers with improved local representation for our products.

Robert Small, President & COO
