Tait Communications has unveiled the TM9900 Multiband Multiprotocol Mobile Radio, a groundbreaking solution engineered specifically for the demanding needs of public safety agencies.
Complemented by the portable TP9900 radio, the Tait 9900 series stands out as the premier choice for P25 communications, seamlessly supporting DMR and analogue channels across a broad spectrum of frequencies including VHF, UHF, 7/800MHz, and 900MHz. This innovative series is designed to elevate community safety by enabling superior interoperability among first responders, educational institutions, utilities, and other public sector organizations.
The Tait 9900 series delivers seamless multiband performance, offering configurable operation on any combination of VHF, UHF, 700/800MHz, and 900MHz bands. Customers benefit from flexible ordering options and can deploy single, dual, or multiband configurations both at purchase and later. Notably, the bands are not locked, allowing for reconfiguration at any time to meet evolving operational requirements.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the TM9900 offers the widest array of control head options within its class, enabling users to select the interface that best suits their operational needs. This versatility accelerates installation times and reduces fleet upgrade costs.

The TP9900 portable radio exemplifies mobility and durability, recognized as the lightest multiband portable available. It features a high-capacity battery and a compact, ergonomic design built to withstand demanding environments. Its enhanced grip and intuitive control layout ensure ease of use, even while wearing gloves, empowering first responders with reliable, portable communication in critical situations.
A key feature of the Tait 9900 series is its advanced multiprotocol capability, bridging the interoperability gap between P25 and DMR standards. During emergencies, effective communication among diverse organizations — such as police, fire services, utilities, schools, coastguards, and transportation agencies — is vital. The 9900 series facilitates seamless communication across these standards, ensuring rapid coordination and improved community safety. Supporting a comprehensive range of operations — including Analog Conventional, P25 Conventional, P25 Trunking (Phase 1 and 2), DMR Tier 2 Conventional, and DMR Tier 3 Trunking — the series allows users to transition effortlessly between modes by simply changing channels.
