The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) designed a P25-compatible, after-market technology solution—the Radio Internet-Protocol Communications Module (RIC-M)—that allows agencies to easily upgrade and reconfigure legacy systems at a low cost. RIC-M allows many older base station systems to be used for another 10 to 20 years.  ( Video by Science & Technology Directorate/Released) Date: May 26, 2016
