Shop P25 two-way radios

P25, or Project 25, is a digital radio standard widely used by public safety and government organizations across the United States. P25 radios are built for professional communication where reliability, interoperability, and system compatibility matter.

Our selection includes P25 portable radios, P25 mobile radios, multi-band radios, and other professional radio equipment. You'll find options for users who need a handheld radio in the field as well as vehicle-mounted radios for mobile operations.

When choosing a P25 radio, it's important to look beyond the model name. The radio needs to work with your existing system and frequency plan. Programming, encryption, accessories, and coverage requirements can also affect which model makes sense for your organization.

P25 portable radios

A portable P25 radio gives users the freedom to stay connected while moving around a job site, responding to an incident, or working in the field. These radios are commonly used by police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, government employees, and other professionals who need communication while away from a vehicle or fixed location.

New London Technology carries portable P25 radios in different configurations, including single-band and multi-band models.

Popular options include L3Harris XL Series radios, BK Technologies P25 radios, and Tait portable radios.

If you're replacing an existing radio fleet, check the frequency, system requirements, programming, and accessories before choosing a replacement model.

P25 mobile radios

P25 mobile radios are designed for vehicles and other applications where a fixed radio installation makes more sense than a handheld unit.

They can be used in police vehicles, fire apparatus, ambulances, government vehicles, utility fleets, and other professional applications.

A mobile radio can also be a good choice when users need higher power, an external antenna, or a permanent installation inside a vehicle.

New London Technology offers P25 mobile radios from manufacturers including L3Harris, BK Technologies, and Tait.

Multi-band P25 radios

Some agencies need to communicate across more than one frequency band. That's where a multi-band P25 radio can be useful.

Depending on the model, a multi-band radio may support combinations of VHF, UHF, and 700/800 MHz frequencies. This can be especially helpful for agencies that operate across different radio systems or need greater interoperability between departments.

New London Technology offers multi-band options for organizations with more complex communication requirements.

P25 radios for public safety

P25 radios are widely used by public safety organizations throughout the United States.

Police departments may use P25 radios for day-to-day operations, special events, tactical teams, and emergency response. Fire departments and EMS teams rely on radios to communicate between personnel, vehicles, dispatch, and command staff.

For agencies with specific security and interoperability requirements, supported P25 radios may also provide features such as encryption and P25 Phase 1 or Phase 2 operation, depending on the radio and system configuration.

P25 radios for government agencies

Federal, state, county, and local government organizations often have communication requirements that are different from those of a typical commercial user.

A government agency may need a specific frequency band, encryption capability, interoperability with another agency, or compatibility with an existing P25 network.

Before purchasing, it's worth confirming the radio's exact configuration and whether it can be programmed for your system. This is especially important when adding new radios to an existing fleet.

P25 radios for fire and EMS

Firefighters and EMS crews don't have the luxury of dealing with unreliable communication during an emergency. A professional radio needs to be practical to operate while personnel are focused on the situation in front of them.

For these applications, factors such as durability, battery life, audio performance, frequency compatibility, and emergency features can all be important.

The right choice will depend on the department's existing radio system and how the radios will be used.

How to choose a P25 radio

There isn't one P25 radio that's right for every department or organization. Start with your existing radio system and work from there.

First, determine which frequency band you need. Your system may use VHF, UHF, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, or more than one band.

Next, determine whether you need a portable radio, mobile radio, or both. A firefighter working outside an apparatus has different requirements from a radio installed in a patrol vehicle.

You'll also want to consider P25 Phase 1 or Phase 2 compatibility, encryption requirements, battery options, accessories, programming, and the number of users in your fleet.

If you're unsure where to start, you can use our Radio Finder to narrow down your options.
