Police Nationale Congolaise, DRC

Tait's authorized dealer Emcom Africa responded to the tender, offering Tait portable and mobile radios within a tight timeframe.

Impressed by the high audio quality and ruggedness of the terminals, the PNC sought consultation from the South Africa Police (SAPS), a long standing Tait customer. After positive feedback from SAPS and extensive field trials in the Congo, the PNC chose Tait products to be used on their existing radio network.

Although tight timeframes for the rollout of these 10,000 radios proved to be a challenge for both Tait and Emcom, the terminals were manufactured, airlifted across the DRC to remote locations and set up in time for the election process.
