Challenge

A mid-sized metro fire department was operating an aging analog system with significant coverage gaps in newer high-rise construction and underground parking structures. The department needed a path to digital P25 Phase II without disrupting active operations.

Solution

Conducted a full coverage analysis and system audit, developed a phased migration plan, coordinated frequency licensing, and provided technical oversight through infrastructure installation and acceptance testing. Included in-building coverage assessments for 14 high-priority structures.

Challenge

A county sheriff's office and four municipal police departments were operating on incompatible radio systems with no reliable mutual aid communications path. Incidents requiring multi-agency response were relying on cell phones as a backup.

Solution

Performed an interoperability gap analysis across all five agencies, evaluated gateway and patching options, and developed a phased interoperability plan aligned with the county's existing infrastructure investments. Facilitated coordination with the state interoperability coordinator.

Challenge

A regional EMS authority serving a mix of urban and rural terrain was experiencing repeated radio failures in specific geographic areas. Field crews had identified dead zones but the agency lacked the technical data to justify infrastructure investment to county leadership.

Solution

Conducted drive testing and propagation modeling across the entire service area. Produced a detailed coverage report with mapped dead zones, root cause analysis, and a prioritized remediation plan with cost estimates for each recommended improvement.

Challenge

A municipal police department had no formal maintenance program for its radio infrastructure. Equipment was serviced reactively, spare parts inventory was unmanaged, and the department had no visibility into system health or end-of-life timelines.

Solution

Audited all infrastructure and subscriber equipment, developed a preventive maintenance schedule, established a spare parts inventory baseline, and created a 5-year lifecycle plan with replacement cost projections.
