Emergency Staff Radios

1. GENERAL James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH) requires forty (40) portable radios and fifteen (15) speaker microphones with emergency buttons for use on the hospital campus for support operations.

2. BACKGROUND: This requirement is for the purchase of forty (40) VHF P25 Phase II radios. Having these assets gives the Government the ability to communicate on the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital grounds.

The ability of the user to seamlessly switch from P25 communications to Wi-Fi ensures users can overcome difficulties in operating a communications system in a hospital environment.

The equipment feature is essential to the technical requirements to meet the needs of the government.
