King Radios: Why Go Digital for Public Safety?

Is your organization considering an upgrade to digital King Radios? Over the course of the last several years, digital wireless technology has come of age. Today’s line of BK digital radios, including the flagship DMH5992X model, integrate with your current analog systems, and since they’re P25 compliant, they’ll also work with P25 compliant radios from other manufacturers. Need a little more ammo to convince your management that Bendix King digital radios are the way to go? Add these facts to your presentation to make the case. After all, when you’re working in public safety, lives depend on the quality of communication.

Why King Radios?

Designed and manufactured in the U.S., BK radios are the top choice for many government applications, including U.S. Forest Service Wildland Fire contracts. They’re on the ground in Afghanistan and anywhere else the U.S. military puts boots on the ground. When communications are mission-critical, the organizations that keep us safe choose King radios.

Why Digital?

When @TWW_Magazine (Today’s Wireless World Magazine) recently ran a five-part series about the benefits of going digital, the articles highlighted five major advantages offered by digital portable radios. These benefits are not only important in public safety – they’re essential.

Better Audio Quality

You’ll seldom be using King mobiles or BK radio handhelds in quiet settings. In fact, it’s almost a given that your safety officers will be out in the field, where the voice coming over the handset will be competing with, at the very least, traffic noises. The technology used in BK digital radios ensures better audio quality two ways. First, because the voice is digitally reproduced rather than transmitted over the airwaves as is, there’s no degradation over distance. So, even though analog signals technically carry further than digital signals, the digital signal is more reliable and understandable at greater distances. Second, King digital radios are better at filtering out background noises than typical analog radios. You get a clearer voice because it’s not muddled by background noises.

Higher Efficiency

BK digital radios let you do more with less. The DPH series integrates with analog, digital and hybrid systems. It can be used with accessories you have for other BK radios, and will operate with any P25 compliant system. Higher efficiency and flexibility let you stretch your budget without compromising quality.

Ease of Use

Windows-based programming makes it easy to clone information from BK radio portables to BK mobiles. It also allows you to make future upgrades through software rather than hardware changes, resulting in less cost and less down time.
