WV DOH Future Radio System Change

[BM82557]

I noticed this in the Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee Meeting Minutes from September -

The Division of Highways is looking to vacate the current low-band system. XXXXXXXXXX
is lobbying for them to migrate to SIRN. Others in the Division are considering DMR.
XXXXXXXXXX will work with SIRN to discuss talkgroup configurations and zone layouts.

Absolutely, low band 30-50 spread radios are few and far between. The WV DOH/DOT low band radio system will end up on the SIRN eventually.

Any idea of how soon this will happen?

 

[MOTOROLANUT]

DOH purchased $ Millions in new vehicles, although I have seen nothing yet about mass mobile or portable radio purchases. I would guess fairly soon in SIRN supported counties once acquired.

Thank you so much for the information. Have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
