York County, Pa., has chosen to install a microwave radio solution for an advanced public safety communications network, which Alcatel will provide. This enhanced system will give additional capacity and reliability to York County's public safety first responders.
Alcatel has been the sole supplier to Pennsylvania as part of a statewide microwave backbone network build-out. For York County, the microwave digital backhaul network will include Alcatel's MDR 8000 product family. Alcatel's MDR-8000 radio, when integrated in the network with land mobile radio units, will improve data transmission and quality of service throughout York County by way of interoperability among public safety first responders, enabling faster emergency response.
"Today's public safety networks require reliable communications between the various city, county, and state agencies to provide a safe living environment for their citizens," said Chuck Hnot, L. Robert Kimball & Associates, Public Safety Communications Consultant to York County on this project.
