DAB+ / FM / 5G-Broadcast Voice Break-In and Repeaters

Industry-leading technology and field-proven DAB+ and FM tunnel voice break-in devices for emergencies in tunnels or buildings.
World's first 5G-Broadcast (FeMBMS) repeater on the market.
We provide both digital (DAB+) and analog (FM) emergency voice break-in and repeater devices. For 5G-Broadcast we are proud to provide the world's first repeater solution.

Why should you choose PrecisionWave VBI devices?

Our VBI devices not only offer many unprecedented features such as up to 12 ensembles in a single unit (DAB+) or 32 FM channels with fully customizable RDS messages, but they are industry's lowest power consuming and smallest devices, saving substantial cost both in installation and over the total lifetime.

Plus: we are more than happy to customize and incorporate your requirements. Contact us!
