EF Johnson Technologies, Inc has reportedly received a new state-wide multi-year contract and an order valued at $6.1 million from a large state police force.
As part of the contract, the company would provide ES Series of Project 25 compliant mobile radios and accessories.
"Police officers in jurisdictions throughout the state will be using our mobile radios," said Michael Jalbert, president and CEO of EF Johnson Technologies, Inc, in a statement.
Jalbert said that the company’s ES Series of mobile radios are well suited for police due to the second-generation Enhanced Project 25 Vocoder for superior voice quality and reduction of background noise, solid construction, and compliance with military specifications for extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock. He said that the police force will be using these radios to access city and county systems throughout the state.
“We are continuing to see good traction in our state and local business, and we are looking forward to helping this customer keep their citizens safe," said Jalbert.
Headquartered in Irving, Texas, EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. focuses on developing and marketing the quality secure communications solutions to organizations whose mission is to protect and save lives. The company's customers include first responders in public safety and public service, the federal government, and industrial organizations.
Recently, the company announced that it has been awarded a contract valued at $3.3 million. It will provide its Hybrid IP25 system, the first Project 25 compliant infrastructure system that will enable first responder two-way radio calls to roam between trunked and conventional systems.
EF Johnson Technologies also announced that its 3e Technologies (News - Alert) International subsidiary has received a multi-year contract for $4.8 million, with four options valued up to $21 million, from the U.S. Department of Defense to deliver a wireless sensor network solution.
The cost plus fixed fee contract calls for the company to deliver a FIPS 140-2 Validated secure wireless solution that integrates diverse sensors into a large system while reducing infrastructure costs.
