Introducing the Tait TP9900 Series: Multiband, Multiprotocol Radios

What Are Multiband Radios?

Traditional two-way radios operate on a single frequency band, typically VHF or UHF. When organisations operate across multiple bands, they often need separate radios. Multiband radios remove this limitation, a single TP9900 radio can be configured to operate across multiple frequency bands, reducing equipment complexity and improving operational flexibility.

This means fewer radios per user, simplified fleet management, greater interoperability across agencies, and improved operational coordination.

What Does Multiprotocol Mean?

Multiprotocol radios support more than one communications standard. The TP9900 Series supports P25 digital, DMR digital, and analogue conventional channels.

With simple channel switching, users can move between systems without changing devices, particularly valuable in multi-agency environments where different organisations operate on different standards.

Built for Interoperability and Safety

The Tait TP9900 Series is designed for organisations that demand performance, reliability and flexibility.

• Configurable single, dual or multiband operation
• Support for P25, DMR and analogue
• Secure voice encryption options
• Integrated location services
• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability
• Over-the-air programming (OTAP) support
• Rugged Tait Tough construction

These radios are engineered to withstand harsh operational environments while delivering clear, reliable voice communications.

Why Multiband Matters in New Zealand

In New Zealand, many organisations operate in collaborative environments. Emergency services, Coastguard units, infrastructure providers and industrial operators often work alongside agencies using different frequency bands and standards. P25 is the protocol behind New Zealand's next-generation emergency services radio network, so multiprotocol radios like the TP9900 have a genuine role to play here, bridging P25, DMR, and analogue systems as agencies transition.

Multiband, multiprotocol radios can improve cross-agency coordination, reduce equipment duplication, enhance operational safety, support long-term network migration strategies, and future-proof radio investments. The TP9900 series enables organisations to communicate seamlessly, regardless of band or protocol.

Available Through Mobile Systems Limited

Mobile Systems Limited can source the Tait TP9900 Series as part of our Tait partnership. We offer system design and consultation, network compatibility assessment, programming and configuration, licensing guidance, installation and commissioning, and ongoing support, servicing, and replacement hardware in New Zealand.

As the TP9900 supports a smooth transition path by enabling analogue and digital systems to operate side-by-side, it protects existing investment while providing a clear upgrade path, valuable for organisations planning long-term communications strategies. Whether you're upgrading an existing fleet or supporting a multi-agency interoperability solution, we can help design the right approach.
