As you may have heard, the FCC has mandated that all non-Federal public safety licensees using 25kHz radio systems migrate to narrowband 12.5kHz channels by January 1, 2013.
Swissphone RE729 Fire Pagers are narrowband-ready, meaning that if you invest in Swissphone pagers before your department switches to narrowband, you'll be narrowband
compliant and you won't need to buy new equipment after the switch.
