BAD THINGS HAPPEN.
When it was time for Puerto Rico to upgrade to a P25 emergency communication system in 2011, they were faced with many challenges due to the complexity of an island deployment with a diverse landscape - high elevations, flat coastal areas, a lush tropical forest; and their vulnerability to hurricanes and other natural disasters.
Puerto Rico wanted the peace of mind that came with the most modern and reliable system available. They knew they needed a system that could withstand the most extreme conditions, so they selected an ATLAS P25 system from EFJohnson, the P25 communication specialist for JVCKENWOOD, and Codecom, their local communication service provider.
What they didn't know was that their system would be put to the most severe test imaginable just five years after its deployment.

Puerto Rico's ATLAS P25 system survives Irma & Maria
For an emergency communication system, there is no greater test of performance than a massive natural disaster. The unique patented technology called Latitude, is what makes ATLAS different than any other mission critical LMR system and makes safe simple.
