Contract Awarded to Design and Deploy Interoperable P25IP Radio Communications System for Multiple Public Safety and County Service Departments
LOWELL, Mass., May 2, 2007– Tyco Electronics announced today that its M/A-COM business, a worldwide leader of critical radio communications systems, has been awarded the contract to deploy an 800 MHz critical communications network utilizing multiple technologies for voice and mobile data communications for Spalding County, Georgia. The five-site P25IP (Project 25 to the power of Internet Protocol) simulcast system will be customized to meet the requirements of Spalding County public safety and county officials and will initially enable voice and data communications for more than 1,000 users in multiple public safety and county services departments.
“We selected the M/A-COM P25IP communications system specifically because the technology will be in compliance with a number of mission critical communications standards for years to come, additionally it will easily migrate from P25 Phase I standards to Phase II standards when they are complete,” said Chief Frank Strickland, City of Griffin, GA Police Department. “The City of Griffin and Spalding County’s public safety officials and municipalities deserve and will soon have the most reliable and scalable communications system available today. We will be able to build data capabilities on-top of our voice communications, so Spalding County public safety and county services users will have the complete data and voice communications package.”
Based on the M/A-COM VIDA (Voice Interoperability Data Access) network platform, Spalding County’s communications system is a hybrid network consisting of multiple M/A-COM technologies. P25IP technology will be deployed for voice communications, OpenSky for mobile data communications and NetworkFirst for interoperability with neighboring county and agency legacy systems. Additionally, Spalding County’s communications system will seamlessly connect with Georgia’s Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP) communications network.
“Our team of engineers and technicians worked diligently with Spalding County to develop a multi-faceted critical communications system to enhance communications among county public safety officials, including police, fire, sheriff, EMS, city and county administration,” said James M. Potter, southeast region area sales manager, Tyco Electronics. “We understand that our customers invest significant resources to ensure they have the most advanced communications networks now and in years to come. We have responded directly to Spalding County’s needs by designing a reliable voice and data radio communications system that is future-ready.”
