Replacement is <br /> necessary to ensure reliability for emergency responders. Only the Emergency Services and Sheriffs departments are included in the CIP.It will be up to each <br /> individual municipal or rural department to fund their repalacment radios.It is Important to establish standard features and specifications for 800 MHz radios(portables <br /> and mobiles)to ensure system reliability,optimal integration with new platforms(P25)which will be placed in service by NCSHPNIPER starting in 2013. Regardless of <br /> funding source or user,it is critical that units purchased be standardized to ensure Integration,reliability and reduce potential for field failure. Year 1 funding includes <br /> Emergency Services radios and two mobile digital repeaters to assist field units with reception and reliable communications throughout the county. Years 6-10 includes <br /> funding of$920,000 for replacement of Sheriff radios. <br /> NextGen Phone System:Replacement of the main 9-1-1 switch,which is necessary to gain access to Internet(Next Generation)based services.The current switch <br /> will have reached the end of Its useful life and will no longer be supported by the vendor.If the switch is not replaced,the cost of repairs/maintenance/parts will become <br /> very expensive.There is a risk that parts for this equipment will not be available In the coming years. Based on the most current vendor consultation, the request is <br /> being made in year 2-FY 2013-2014. <br />
