SETCOM Introduces Liberator Wireless System
The Most Recent Advance in Police Motorcycle Communications, Setcom’s Liberator Wireless System Eliminates the Cable Between Motor Officer and Motorcycle.
Mountain View, CA - Setcom Corporation, an industry leader in communications systems and accessories for police motorcycle officers, recently introduced its Liberator Wireless System. By eliminating the cable between motor officer and motorcycle, the Liberator System provides maximum flexibility, freedom of movement and reliable communications.
In addition to its primary benefits – increased freedom and ease of movement – the Liberator System includes several other features. By operating in the 900 MHz ISM frequency range, the system avoids the interference challenges associated with higher frequencies. Also, the system is backward compatible with most of Setcom’s current equipment, saving departments money and upgrade hassles. Finally, the system draws the minimal power it requires from the portable radio, eliminating the need to recharge batteries.
With over 25 years of experience designing wireless products, Senior Engineer David Fettig led Setcom’s development effort. He says, "Police motorcycles are very challenging environments for wireless equipment. There are numerous elements which can interfere with a wireless communications system, including ignition noise, mobile and portable radio radiation, light and siren electrical emissions, intense vibrations, engine heat, and exposure to varying types of weather. It's not a trivial development task.”
After a year of intense work and rigorous product testing in the laboratory and the field, Setcom's Liberator System is being well received by motor officers across the country.
Police Officer Bob Valdez, who patrols the San Francisco Airport, says unequivocally, "I've been riding motors 16 years and this is a great product. Not hooking up and hooking off is a huge benefit. To be honest, it took me a couple of weeks to get used to the increased freedom. I kept looking for the cables to unhook when I got off the bike.”
Officer Stephen Mello of the Mountain View Police Department in California says, "I've been using Setcom equipment for a long time. Their products and service have always been the best in the business. The Liberator continues in this tradition. With the Liberator I never have to take my eyes off of a vehicle that I’m pulling over. From what I’ve seen in the marketplace over my 18 years of riding motors, it’s the best tool for motor officer safety in the 21st Century.”
Setcom’s Liberator Wireless System is currently available in “Portable Radio Only” configurations for most popular Motorola and M/A-COM portable radios. Setcom expects to introduce “Mobile & Portable Radio” configurations shortly.
