15 Nov 06. Raytheon Company’s JPS Communications has partnered with Etherstack to market a Project 25 (P25) channel controller in North America. The device controls digital communication signals in two-way public safety radios. The P25 channel controller converts analog radio channels to P25 digital channels, allowing the user to economically replace conventional analog communication systems with the modernized P25 digital system. The controller will be marketed by Raytheon’s JPS Communications, while Etherstack will maintain responsibility for continued development of the device.
