In March 2008, Thales Communications announced its Liberty™ Multiband Land Mobile Radio (LMR), the first multiband, software-defined LMR for government agencies and first responders. With coverage across all of the public safety bands (136-174 MHz, 380-520 MHz, 700 MHz, and 800 MHz), Federal, State, Local, and U.S. Department of Defense agencies can now communicate using a single portable radio that operates in direct mode or uses existing infrastructure in any of the bands.

The first multiband LMR to be put in the hands of users, the Liberty radio is currently undergoing operational evaluation and is in use by multiple public service agencies in large major metropolitan areas, by statewide public service agencies, and at federal labs. It has also been in service at the Presidential Inauguration, Academy Awards, and several live burns.

In parallel, we are now implementing our Demo Program and are starting demo kit delivery. If you have signed up for the Program, you will be contacted by a member of our team to make delivery arrangements. The contact information of your area representative is shown on our Territories Map. (When emailing, please be sure to type “Demo Kit” in the subject line.)
