Overview

Alameda and Contra Costa counties encompass a land area of over 1,500 square miles with a combined population of over 2.5 million people. At build out, the East Bay Regional Communications System consists of 6 cells with a total 36 sites. The system is a P25 compliant communications system that is capable of providing fully interoperable communications to all public agencies within the two counties. The system is designed and sized to offer participation to adjoining counties, as well as State and Federal agencies. The EBRCSA is part of the Bay Area UASI, and has been working closely with regional partners to ensure region wide interoperability.

A digital microwave system, linking all the sites to the master site controller, has been installed. All six simulcast sub-systems (Sites 1-6), and two stand-alone sites (Marsh Creek and Crane Ridge) have been completed. Many agencies have fully transitioned and are active on both the Alameda County sites and Contra Costa sites. Testing and subscriber installations are still underway within some participating agencies.
