Up to 10 users per channel can be connected without using a tactical radio, which is especially ideal for special operations like hazardous materials response teams. In a normal building with walls, the signal works ideally with others less than 90 feet (27.4 meters) from one another or almost 300 feet (91.4 meters) line of sight. Digital noise-reduction such as breathing and ambient noise is automatically suppressed and only transmits the wearer’s voice.

This increases battery life, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures that your equipmentis ready for use when it’s needed. Once again, Dräger leads the fire service industry with cutting-edge technology which will change fire ground communication for the future.
