last i heard, it was about a year from now before St. Louis County migrates and i cant forsee duluth migrating without STL county since that is their PSAP.
Purchasing the radios is just the tip of the iceberg as far as migration to ARMER is concerned.
There are still many steps to be taken and here are just a few...
- PSAP consolidation (North PSAP will move into South PSAP
- PSAP upgrades
- completion of towers in Crane Lake, Meander Lake, Vermillion Dam, Soudan, Argo, Lake, Erie Hill, Palo, Brimson, Molde, Line Lake, Sax, Elmer, Fond du Lac and Mirror Lake LO.
- Dispatcher and End User training
- Mobile Radio installs
STL county will have at least 3000 radios to program which will make them (i think) the 4th largest user in the state.
