IRVING, TEXAS – March 19, 2015 – EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. introduced its next generation Viking® VM900 multi-band TDMA mobile at the International Wireless Communications Exhibition, March 18-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Karthik Rangarajan, vice president of marketing stated, “Designed with all of the critical, open-standards based public safety features, the Viking VM900 multi-band mobile is an affordable solution for all agencies. Public safety organizations will have the flexibility to operate in multiple frequency bands while also utilizing the ability to software-upgrade from P25 Phase 1 to Phase 2 and meet their needs or regulatory requirements. The VM900 multi-band mobile radio complements the award-winning Viking VP900 multi-band portable and is available in VHF, 700 and 800 MHz frequency band operation. EFJohnson will continue to expand its multi-band portfolio throughout the year.”

“Public safety communications is our core business. Fully-compatible with SMARTNET®/SmartZone® trunking, P25 Phase 1/Phase 2 trunked, simulcast and conventional modes, Viking radios provide our customers unparalleled flexibility to operate not only in multiple bands but on multiple system types as well,” said Mr. Rangarajan.

“Furthermore, EFJohnson customers with ES mobiles can migrate easily to Viking VM900 mobiles by re-using their existing installed base including control heads and vehicle connections.”

The new mobile offers advanced feature options including Over-The-Air-Rekeying (OTAR) and Over-The-Air-Programming (OTAP). Mr. Rangarajan adds, “We’re proud to announce another industry-first innovation to our P25 portfolio, Over-The-Intranet-Programming (OTIP). This LTE-friendly application enables secure, wireless programming for mobile fleets. Fleet managers can now program their radios from a Wi-Fi access point via their intranet, anywhere, at any time.”

EFJohnson will be demonstrating its ATLAS P25 Phase 1 and 2 system solutions and Viking P25 multi-band radio portfolio in booth 1031.
