Bridging the Gap Between Bands
Connecting VHF to UHF, UHF to UHF, and VHF to VHF, the X-Band 50 provides full UHF and VHF interoperability. This crossband provides an interoperable solution that provides over-the-air programming (OTAP). The X-Band 50 is compact in size, easy to use, and operates as a control station without the need of a network. Inter-agency communications just got easier!
