About APCO Project 25 (P25)

APCO Project 25 (P25), which requires interoperability among compliant
equipment regardless of the manufacturer, was established by the Association
of Public-Safety Communications Officials and is approved by the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security. The shift toward interoperability gained
momentum as a result of significant communications failures during events such
as the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina. RELM was one of the first
manufacturers to develop P25-compliant technology.
