Statewide Communication Systems

Statewide Communication Systems

More and more states are making the move to statewide networks as they come to realize their existing networks are not only antiquated, but also less than effective in serving the needs of their officers and the public.

With a statewide network, it is possible for users to talk to each other from virtually anywhere within the state. By sharing a common backbone or infrastructure, government agencies, school districts and — if desired — the private sector can all operate securely, effectively and affordably on the same network. This interoperability enables many agencies and organizations to do much more than if they operated independently.



Benefits
Resources

  • Safety officials can complete their missions with increased efficiency due to faster and more accurate access to vital information.
  • Interoperability between different state, local and federal agencies becomes a reality — a vital capability during disaster situations.
  • Shared infrastructure cuts down on costs of required facilities and equipment.
  • The public can receive more public safety services in record time as shared infrastructure allows direct interoperability between agencies.
  • Rapid user access on trunked networks is even more reliable due to the efficient use of spectrum.
