Ohio MARCS-IP / Local Partnership Program

Ohio MARCS has implemented a Local Partnership program which allows counties around the state to enter into partnership agreements with the State of Ohio for the use of the system. There are five partnership Tiers, each offering different levels of sharing and use. The Tier levels are:

Tier 1 - Basic Subscriber

  • County uses MARCS towers and pays MARCS subscriber fees (currently $10/month per radio).

Tier 2 - Enhanced Local Infrastructure

  • County which builds their own tower sites and asks MARCS to handle tower maintenance and subscriber management.

Tier 3 - Connecting P25 Systems

  • County with separate standalone system connected to MARCS. County can determine which talkgroups and agencies may roam to their system.

Tier 4 - Sharing Core Resources

  • County which builds, maintains and manages their own tower sites and subscribers but shares the appropriate MARCS zone controller. County can determine which talkgroups and agencies may roam to their tower sites.

Tier 5 - Shared Zone Controllers
