First responders have been instrumental in emergency services worldwide. They are the ones to reach first at the spot, whether it is the emergency medical personnel, firefighters, or the police personnel, and it only makes sense to have them equipped with the best devices and equipment to perform their duties. This also includes having a better first responder mobile computer that allows them to communicate, offers them more ways to collect and share information, and call in for necessary help.
Keeping that in mind, the FR55 mobile computer has been designed as a first responder mobile computer by Zebra Technologies. As mission and business-critical narrowband communication systems transition to broadband, first responders require tools that go beyond voice to deliver intelligence, collaboration, and safety. The good news is that the FR55 mobile computer allows them to click pictures, make secure calls with LTE, 5G, and MCX technology, meeting their most pressing needs during an emergency.
The Zebra FR55 Mobile Computer combines mission-critical voice and data, rugged reliability, and Zebra’s Android expertise and enables police, fire, EMS, military, and public safety agencies to operate more effectively in high-pressure environments.
