"An Arizona company says it has a means of linking incompatible radios used by police and fire agencies responding to major emergencies and disasters. Aegis Assessments said it would unveil its SafetyNet RadioBridge solution next month at the Fire Rescue Expo in Las Vegas. The inability of various emergency agencies to communicate at large disaster scenes has vexed commanders since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and is considered a major homeland-security issue. Aegis said in a news release that its enhanced RadioBridge allows for the bridging of both trunked and non-trunked radios, improves sound quality and adds storage space for headphones and other accessory gear."
