This was taken from the MIEMSS Exec Director's February 2020 report:
"Statewide EMS Communication System Upgrade. MIEMSS is upgrading the Maryland statewide communications systems to meet current and future needs. MIEMSS’ goal is to have a highly reliable, next generation communications system which is built on a uniform platform, is IP-based, utilizes proven and scalable technology, and integrates with the State’s Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). 4 Having completed the DDR (Detailed Design Review), the upgrade project has moved on to the Implementation Stage. Implementation is divided into five phases, primarily based on EMS region, with each phase comprised of a mini-DDR and 3 sub-phases: delivery, implementation and acceptance. Implementation - Phase 1 has started and is focused on Southern Maryland (EMS Region V). Phase 1 is targeted to be complete by midyear 2020. Each phase must be successfully completed before the next phase begins. MIEMSS and OCI continue to have weekly project meetings. "
