P25 Repeater Project-Emergency and Dispatch System
- Bids opened 1/23 See LINK (PDF)
- Must provide FULL county coverage, handheld at 95%, including ER/nurses stations at AL Hospital, courtrooms at LC Courthouse, interior of the EOC, the Sheriff's Office, and County Jail.
- The system will have 7 complete dispatch radio consoles. 2 at county PSAP, 2 at EOC, and 3 at LCSO.
- TDMA with 8 voice channel simulcast, with fall-back to FDMA phase 1 affiliates; support for roaming with adjacent p25 counties and Athens
- Support for 57 agencies/groups with 600 users. Support for 512 talkgroups, although less will be used. AES encryption available to Law enforcement, over-the-air rekeying of encryption keys
- Athens-Limestone joining P25 communication system 2/23
- The City of Athens recently bid out their infrastructure which includes the towers, all equipment on the towers, and the equipment that goes to dispatches – everything that makes the radio system work. The city approved the purchase of a P25 communication system from Motorola Solutions Inc. at the cost of $1,839,252.46.
- The County did the same and accepted the bid for the infrastructure but will rebid the radios for the system. They awarded the bid for infrastructure and repeaters to Motorola Solutions Inc. in the amount of $2,509,991.95 to come from AARPA funding.
- The systems are required to be built to provide 95 percent coverage, but McLaughlin anticipates 100 percent coverage in Limestone County. The county will have a tower location in West Limestone, and the city will have one on Commercial Drive.
