Rapid Deployment Portable Repeater

RELM Wireless Corporation has introduced a rugged new portable repeater in a lightweight, easily transportable, waterproof carrying case, the Rapid Deployment Portable Repeater (RDPR) "The Go Box," enabling emergency responders to extend their wireless radio communications network, or set up a new network on the move, in a matter of minutes. The stand-alone RDPR comes standard with 14 Amp/hr. internal battery capability and, with the addition of an optional solar panel, can sustain up to a 30 percent duty cycle during a 24-hour period. Other options for charging the RDPR includes adapters for AC wall outlets or for cigarette lighter outlets in vehicles and a plug-and-play link to a BK Radio GMH analog mobile or DMH digital mobile radio can increase RF power output to 50 watts or 100 watts. The rugged weatherproof case for The Go Box also provides room for an optional internal duplexer. The RDPR is available with or without new portable radios to complete the package, though any portable radios from RELM Wireless can be plugged in quickly.
