This P25 CAI Trunking Interoperability Event was conducted by the manufacturers in advance of formal U.S. Department of Homeland Security lab recognition as part of the P25 Compliance Assessment Program (CAP) to meet customers' immediate need for documented proof of Interoperability between P25 products from various manufacturers.

"Last year was an incredible year of unprecedented commitment and cooperation between P25 manufacturers toward interoperable communications," added Schassler.
