FORT WORTH - Uniden America Corporation, Inc. (NYSE: UNID) has released a press statement that a new, P25 simulcast-capable scanner is scheduled for public release in 4Q 2017. The company's media relations staff posted the following product announcement:
"At Uniden America, we strive to keep up with the latest in two-way radio communications technology. It all started back in 1997 when we released the first-ever trunking-capable scanner, the BC235XLT. Since then, public safety radio technology has grown, and our company is committed to delivering high-quality monitoring solutions at an affordable price. The latest Project-25 communications systems utilizing simulcast technology have been a challenge for the scanning industry. That is why we have undertaken an extensive research & development project during the last year to develop a trunking scanner that will properly monitor and decode P25 trunking systems that use simulcasting from multiple antenna sites."
The first release model, the BCD496S, will offer simulcast support for both P25 and DMR trunking and conventional systems. Company officials estimate the MSRP at $899 with the first units shipping in November, 2017. Further announcements and product photos will be issued in 3Q 2017 after gaining FCC type-acceptance. Pre-orders will be available from participating Uniden dealers at that time.
