INNOVATION IN ACTION

THE STORY BEHIND THE TAIT 9900 SERIES

 For decades, emergency services worldwide have faced a critical issue: when multiple agencies respond to a crisis, they often can’t communicate with each other, putting lives and communities at risk.

Fires, natural disasters, and major incidents expose gaps between police, fire, ambulance, and utility crews. In those moments, every second counts – but lives can be lost when communication systems don’t connect.

The Tait 9900 series was built to bridge that gap. Inspired by the urgent need for true interoperability highlighted by frontline responders and industry experts, our engineers designed a radio that overcomes barriers between networks and bands.

By uniting P25, DMR, analog, and multiband operation in one device, the 9900 series ensures responders can coordinate seamlessly, no matter the agency or frequency.
