RELM intros high-power rapid deployment portable repeater

WEST MELBOURNE, USA: RELM Wireless Corp. introduced high-power models of its popular Rapid Deployment Portable Repeater (RDPR) for the VHF (136-174 MHz), UHF (400-515 MHz) and 800MHz frequency bands.

Like the original RDPR, the new high-power models are compact, light-weight and housed in a waterproof carrying case. Deployment of the RDPR enables emergency responders to establish a communications network "on the move" in only minutes. Now, with up to 50 watts of power output, the RDPR's signal strength and communications range can cover a more expansive area.

RELM President and CEO, David Storey, commented: "The RDPR is designed for emergency applications based upon practical field experiences, and the original model has proven to be quite popular with customers.

"Using the RDPR one can quickly build-out an on-site interoperable network capable P25 digital, analog or mixed-mode communication system. The RDPR is extraordinarily flexible and easy to deploy, and the higher power enables it to be effective for greater distances."

The RDPR includes a compact 40 Amp/hr. external lithium-ion power source that can be charged with an optional fold-out solar panel. The power source can also be charged through the use of adaptors for AC wall outlets or vehicle cigarette lighters. In addition, the case provides room for an internal duplexer.
