BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PCTEL®, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) announced its new Trooper™ TRP-20INT platform, featuring new models with a purpose-designed footprint to allow seamless installation on the leading 2020 police sports utility vehicles.

The Trooper™ TRP-20INT antenna platform supports the high-speed requirements of complex RF communication systems used for critical communications in FirstNet® public safety and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
