Multi-Band Radios Loaned to Inauguration

Thales Communications, Inc. announced that its new Liberty-brand multi-band radios were “provided” for last week’s Presidential inauguration. In a press release, the company didn’t even say if the radios were given to an agency, department or bureau, and certainly didn’t mention any specifics. The Liberty radios are software-defined, and operate on 136-174 MHz, 380-520 MHz and 763-869 MHz. Thales said, “This national security event…provided a unique opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of the Liberty radio and to benefit from user feedback in a planned, but real-time, real-life situation.” The company claims that, “Users were excited about the way the Liberty radio changed how they communicate and provided positive feedback regarding the radio’s “convenience, functionality, fit, finish, size, weight, and ergonomics.” Find information about the radios here, including a demo loaner kit.
