Our extensive evaluation process determined that the
Harris P25IP solution was the radio system best suited to support our
public safety personnel in communicating during standard and mutual-aid
emergency response situations,” said Jim Davis, emergency manager, Pittsylvania
County.
The contract was awarded to Harris in the second quarter
of its fiscal year 2012. This new system is one of the nation’s first P25 Phase
2 radio systems in deployment.
The eight-tower site system will enable enhanced
interoperable communication for Pittsylvania County first responders with
surrounding agencies.
Harris demonstrated that it had the best understanding
of Pittsylvania County’s critical applications, infrastructure and
requirements, and that we designed a specific system that completely meets the
county’s needs,” said Steve Marschilok, president, Harris Public Safety and
Professional Communications.
The county also will deploy Harris’ trunked vehicular
repeaters, powerful system tools capable of extending system coverage in both
the 700 and 800 MHz frequencies.
Based on Harris VIDA network platform, the Harris
P25IP system will be supported by 1,200 Harris mobile and portable radios,
including the P7300 portable and the award-winning Unity XG-100P multi-band
portable radio.
