The Hybrid Public Safety Microphone (Turtle Command™) Fact Sheet

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have partnered to conduct research addressing first responder needs for mission-critical voice over broad-band, remote management (e.g., over-the-air programming [OTAP]), video and data transfer to tactical users, and net-work integration (i.e., ability to roam across LMR and fourth generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution LTE). Addressing these needs, in part, was the impetus for the Turtle Command™ Hybrid Public Safety Microphone project.
