Harris: Company announces enhancements to DMR portfolio

Mark Ketchum, communications systems engineer for the city of Broken Arrow, Okla., discusses the work done to provide a regional P25 system and integration efforts with LTE. Ketchum contributed to the design of the Harris XL-200P, a portable radio that which supports communications across multiple LMR bands, LTE and Wi-Fi.

Land-mobile-radio (LMR) equipment provider Hytera Communications recently confirmed that it is considering a bid for Sepura, which last year purchased Teltronic—a company that does business in the United States as PowerTrunk, the leading TETRA solution provider in the U.S.

John Serio, Unity product-line manager for Harris, details new capabilities of the company's line of portable LMR radios during the Association of Public-Safety Communications (APCO) show.

The SL Series of sleek DMR handsets is designed to serve the communications needs primarily of customer-facing users.
