Buncombe County sought to purchase the best radios for its 19 area fire departments based on an extensive list of user conditions. With the need for heavy use in severe environments, the County required all subscriber equipment to be of the highest quality and reliability. KENWOOD Viking radios were chosen for their durability, ease of use, and focus on firefighter requirements.

“The single biggest highlight of the new ATLAS radio system has been the reliability of the system. It's proving once again that a solid system has been delivered by JVCKENWOOD. We’re very impressed with it.”
