The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated that by January 1, 2013, all licensees and users of radio systems operating in the VHF 150 – 174 MHz and the UHF 450 – 512 MHz portions of the of the radio spectrum, convert their systems and radios so that they are operating on 12.5 kHz rather than the current wideband 25 kHz channels. This mandate has been put into place to bring about spectrum efficiency and as a result, to create additional channels to accommodate the demand of public safety and local government users.  The ESTeem Model 192 series of wireless modems is compatible with all narrowband requirements but does require a software update in each wireless modem.  To simplify the update process we have put together a complete narrowband update package now available.
