MissionCritical Communications, Radio Resource International, and Public Safety Report - wireless voice and data communications for mobile, remote and public safety operations
This bit is my favorite though:
Motorola Solutions won a combined Project 25 (P25) Phase 2 and Long Term Evolution (LTE) contract in Irving, Texas, for more than $22 million. Under the contract, Motorola Solutions will also provide fiber, CAD integration, fire station alerting, microwave, dispatch consoles and data devices for public-safety vehicles in addition to the P25 and LTE equipment.
This infrastructure will provide P25 voice communications to replace the city’s existing two-way radio system. In addition, the communications system will allow broadband data access to enterprise applications, operation, monitoring and control of remote facilities and systems owned by the city in real time and a fiber-optic ring network for site connectivity. The broadband wireless network will also connect devices throughout the city’s territory for data communications, said Shane Burton, assistant IT director – infrastructure for the city of Irving.
This bit is my favorite though:
That is a big departure from years past when Motorola would say "we won't warranty your system if you use anyone else's radios on it." Kudos to the Irving contract negotiating team for showing some cojones.Fuerst said the city’s current 700 Harris radios will be upgraded to P25 and used on the network as well.
