- KNG P400 Company's First-Ever P25 Digital Product in UHF Band -
WEST MELBOURNE, Fla., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RELM Wireless
Corporation (Amex: RWC) today announced its entry into the market for P25
digital UHF (380-470MHz band) radios with the introduction of the KNG P400.
Like its sister VHF product, the KNG P150 introduced earlier this year, the
KNG P400 is designed with the demanding needs of professional applications in
mind, providing customers with compact, lightweight radios that are
feature-rich and offer class-A performance specifications.
In addition to its performance, the KNG P400 is the smallest
professional-grade 5-watt UHF portable digital radio in the market. Its FCC
(Federal Communication Commission) certified power rating of 5.7 watts is the
best in the industry and provides power to extend the radio's reach with
superior signal strength. More efficient power consumption gives the KNG P400
an uninterrupted duty cycle of up to 18 hours -- significantly longer than
similarly featured models from other manufacturers. The entire KNG series will
be upgradeable to P25 Trunking.
Additional features of the KNG P400 include:
-- MIL-STD 810 F
-- 512 channels and up to 32 zones
-- Ease-of-use with menu-driven programming, Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR)
and cloning
-- Software-driven upgrades (USB PC programmable)
-- NIST-certified FIPS 140-2 encryption
-- IP67 submersible rating
-- Customized keypad and multi-line display
Commented President and CEO David Storey, "Our new KNG product line is the
foundation upon which our growth and future will be built. The P400 is a
critical addition to the line. RELM has never before offered P25 digital
radios in the UHF band, a circumstance that has precluded us from
participating in that lucrative segment of the market. The P400 opens to RELM
significant opportunities in such agencies as the Departments of Defense and
Homeland Security, as well as in law enforcement, among others. Soon to follow
will be products in the 700MHz - 800MHz range, further expanding our entry
into markets never before addressed by RELM. All KNG products provide top
performance and a wide selection of features at industry-best prices. This
represents a critically important combination of advantages that we believe
prospective new customers will find attractive, especially considering the
budget challenges facing many government and public safety agencies today."
