NIFC Fire Certification Qualifies RELM's New Digital Radio
Thursday May 6, 11:15 am ET

Rugged DPH digital portable radio fully compliant with APCO
Project 25 standard

WEST MELBOURNE, Fla., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) has officially certified the new flagship DPH digital portable radio from RELM Wireless (OTC Bulletin Board: RELM - News) for use in wildfire suppression activities. Passing the ultimate test for durability under extreme conditions, earning the NIFC fire certification opens the door for additional federal agencies to purchase new BK Radio-brand DPH radios. The DPH is compliant with the APCO Project 25 standard for digital public safety radio equipment.

RELM President and CEO, Dave
Storey stated, "Years ago, our BK
Radio brand E-Series product
distinguished itself with NIFC, setting
the standard for fire certification.
Providing rugged and reliable
communications tools for critical fire
and emergency situations has been
the hallmark of the BK Radio brand,
trusted by firefighting professionals
in federal agencies throughout the
country, including the U.S. Forest
Service and agencies within the U.S.
Department of the Interior, such as
the National Park Service.

"NIFC fire certification is yet another key advantage that distinguishes RELM's new flagship DPH digital portable radio from competitive P 25-compliant products," Dave Storey maintained. "Other key advantages include lower power drain, which lengthens the battery usage cycle, exceptional audio clarity, attractive pricing and ease of use and programming."
Federal and state agencies can procure the DPH through several federal contracts, including the U.S. Department of the Interior radio contract #NBC 030003, the U.S.
Forest Service contract #54-3187-3-0328 and GSA Schedule #GS-35F-0133L.

For more than 55 years, RELM Wireless Corp. has manufactured and marketed high-specification two-way communications equipment for use by public safety professionals and government agencies, as well as business-band radios for use in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Revolutionary advances include new low-cost digital portable two-way radios compliant with APCO Project 25 technical specifications. Products are manufactured and distributed worldwide under BK Radio, RELM and Uniden PRC brand names. The company maintains its headquarters in West Melbourne, Florida and can be contacted through its web site at www.relm.com or directly at 1-800-821-2900.
