Zebra FR55 First Responder Mobile Computer
Put the world of mission critical narrowband and broadband voice and data communications in the hands of your first responders.
Smarter responses. Safer teams. Stronger outcomes.
The FR55 First Responder Mobile Computer advantage bridges the gap between narrowband and broadband devices, providing first responders with the best of both worlds: maximum information and direct connections to the entire incident response team. This 5G-enabled device delivers new intelligence, including live video streaming, photos, precise geolocation, and 3D maps, while enabling communication with first responders using narrowband Land Mobile Radios (LMR). The result is stronger collaboration, better decisions, and increased safety.
