Procurement Decision
Start with the network and duty requirements. A multi-agency requirement and a fireground requirement need separate checks; a model name or environmental rating does not establish the required fire certification.
To confirm before quote
- Confirm the exact model certification and approved accessory combination.
- Confirm network approval, bands, enabled features and key management.
- Request the manufacturer documentation for the actual offered configuration.
