Project 25 Technology has evolved over the last 36 years with new standards and capabilities enabling interoperability that assures operational efficiency and safety for First Responders and citizens alike. Today P25 technology remains critically important to government agencies, and critical infrastructure users with over 3600 systems on the air, 42 state-wide networks in the USA, and systems operating in over 80 nations worldwide.

Learn what the future holds for this user driven technology in an increasingly complex world. See the roadmap for Standards based P25 LMR interworking with LTE. Get the latest 2026 update for P25 standards recently published and new standards in development.

Improved First Responder safety is possible through a variety of new capabilities including P25 emergency alarms (man-down, vehicle sensed, accessory sensed, and new silent alarm and remotely activated alarm), "GPS location on PTT"-enabling situational awareness and tracking for every call, and a new multi-vendor "User ID alias" sharing plain English user-names across multiple systems and talk groups.

Robust security and Encryption is essential in today's threat environment. Learn about P25 "Defense in Depth" through 256 bit AES voice and data encryption, new P25 Link Layer Security Standards (Cyber Security for P25 Control Channels and Unit IDs), and an improved multi-mode Key-fill Device interface and "over the air" rekeying capabilities. In addition, new Technical Service Bulletins offer recommended radio specs to mitigate broad-band interference and offer accurate coverage predictions including "In-Building" applications.
