The Harris-Hytera DMR arrangement is “coming to what I would call a natural close at the end of the year,” Young said in na interview with Urgent Communicatons.
Together, Harris and Tait offer our customers more choices,” Young continued. “The Tait DMR and P25 products and solutions will extend Harris’ commitment to our customers to provide more options for flexible, powerful communications solutions.”
“Tait Communications is eager to bring our portfolio of P25 and DMR radios to a larger range of customers through the Harris sales organizations,” Tait CEO Garry Diack said. “We believe that providing our combined dealer network and direct sales channel with more options delivers extensive benefit to public-safety, utility and public service customers across North America.”
