Repeater systems and tower sites, designed and built to cover your ground.

Why a repeater changes everything

Radio-to-radio communication is limited by terrain, buildings, and the modest power of a handheld. A repeater receives a signal and retransmits it at higher power from a better location, usually a rooftop, a hilltop, or a tower. The result is a dramatic increase in range and far more consistent coverage inside buildings and across uneven ground.

Design that begins with coverage

Every system we build starts with the same question: where do your people need to talk? We study the terrain and the structures involved, select frequencies and antenna locations, and design the system to cover the areas that matter. The design accounts for capacity as well as coverage, so the system can carry the number of users and conversations you expect.

Tower sites built to last

A tower site is more than a tower. It includes antennas and feedline, combiners and duplexers, equipment shelters and racks, grounding and lightning protection, and backup power to keep the site on the air when the commercial power fails. FirstCom Radio designs and builds complete sites and can also install your equipment on an existing tower or rooftop.

From one site to a wide-area network

A single repeater may be all a hotel or school needs. A utility, a transit agency, or a public safety department may need many sites linked together so that users can roam across a county or a state. We build conventional and trunked systems in analog, DMR, NXDN, and P25, and link sites over IP, microwave, or fiber.
