  • Serving Metropolis .....

Metropolis (City) City WEB

  • Located in rural Massac County in the southern portion of Illinois and home to over 15,000 residents, as well as a large uranium conversion facility less than two miles outside the city’s center. The facility specializes in processing raw uranium ore into uranium hexafluoride, used in applications including nuclear power generation and the development of nuclear weapons.

The plant operates on a UHF radio system, the city has a VHF system. As a solution, the city installed an off-site repeater which enabled their control center to interface the two communications systems through WAVE. Additionally, the city was able to extend its network through a secure wireless link to the nuclear facility, so that all relevant staff can share data and information and maintain a secure line of communications in the case of any incident.
