Looks like Lanark county will have a new fire dispatch system for the county,
from the dispatch Center in Smiths Falls.
The entire contract carries a price tag of about $1 million, and that includes Christie Walther (sp) doing the technology aspect as well as Smiths Falls being responsible for the dispatch. Both Smiths Falls and Perth in turn have contracts with GlenTel, making their dispatch centres work from the technological point of view.
“We have to order equipment, install it and go live, but there are a series of other spinoff intricacies that also have to be dealt with,” said Wagland.
He gave the example, of the frequencies on all of the fire chiefs’ systems being new, so all of their radios and equipment will have to be reprogrammed. “It’s things like that, that we’re in the process of figuring out,” he said.
The article doesn't indicate what type of radio system, but the assumption is digitial
So keep on eye on TAFL for any pending frequencies.
