Tait TP9310 VHF Overview

The Tait TP9310 VHF Portable Radio is a robust and affordable two-way radio solution designed for teams who need reliable, secure, and flexible communication. Operating in the 150–162 MHz VHF band, it supports dual mode (DMR + analogue) operation, making it an ideal choice for businesses transitioning from legacy systems to digital.

Built to Tait's globally trusted standards, the TP9310 is IP68 waterproof, drop-resistant, and made to perform in harsh New Zealand field conditions. Whether you're in construction, logistics, event security, or light industrial work, this radio delivers loud, clear audio and built-in Bluetooth® and GPS for smarter team coordination.

Add optional accessories like the TAIT AXIOM Wearable to enable LTE/WiFi connectivity, remote updates, and dual-SIM broadband comms.

Key Features

• Dual mode operation (DMR + analogue) means your team can run this radio on your existing analogue network today and switch to digital later, for businesses not ready to rip and replace their whole fleet.
• Crystal-clear digital audio means everyone hears instructions the first time, for crews working around machinery, traffic, or wind.
• Built-in GPS location tracking means dispatch always knows where your team is, for fleet managers running crews across multiple sites.
• Bluetooth® wireless connectivity means hands-free comms with a headset, for anyone working with power tools or driving.
• Man Down and Lone Worker alarms means help gets triggered automatically if a worker goes still or doesn't check in, for anyone sending staff out solo on remote sites.
• IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating means it keeps working through mud, rain, and dust, for construction crews and farmers working outdoors in all weather.
• Text messaging and status alerts means your team can send quick updates without keying up, for jobs where a radio call would interrupt a conversation.
• TAIT AXIOM-ready design means you can add broadband push-to-talk over LTE or WiFi later, for operations planning to expand beyond radio-only coverage.
