New radio system could end dangerous dead zones in Greeneville | WJHL

Smith says the new $1.7 million system, called the Tennessee Advanced Communications Network, will fix the problem.

This will require a new tower to be built at Greeneville’s Fire Station No. 4 on Mt. Bethel Road.

Construction on the new system is scheduled to begin next year. It should take about 9 months to complete.

In the meantime, Motorola is providing new radio devices to the police and fire departments.

If they use the same type Motorola radios like loudon county uses they also will not get out in big heavy commercial buildings. I hope they test radios before they buy.
