BACKGROUND
background
In early 2010, the City of Greensboro ("City") and Guilford County began the process of moving the public safety 800 MHz trunked radio system to the P25 platform. This migration required 7 years of capital investment by both parties on a 50/50 basis. Phase 1 was to replace the "core" of the radio system or the controller. This controller has the capacity to link various radio systems in the triad together without the other municipalities re-investing in the technology. A fee model was developed between City and County to offset our initial investment, while offering value to the adjacent systems.
