<br />Proiect Description /Justification
<br />Additonal Channels: Equipment and hardware on the existing towers in Orange County as well as the surrounding areas will be upgraded to allow for increased system
<br />capacity which will reduce busy signals received by field units during times of high demand. If the upgrades are not funded, the system will not be able to alleviate the
<br />current service /coverage issues. Channels and additional equipment will be added to the following locations based on the most current information from the state.
<br />Chatham Site: 3 channels /1 combiner; Hillsborough Site: 2 channels/1 combiner /1 antenna package. The tower is currently full and may require additonal work to allow
<br />channels to be added; Laws Site: 3 channels; UNC Site: 2 channels. Site is maintained by UNC and may require additonal work to add channels; Altamahaw Site: 1
<br />channel; Mebane Site: 2 channels.
<br />Towers: The addition of two towers over the next five years (costs for each tower are spread over a two year period) will expand coverage which in turn will increase
<br />capacity allowing better access for field units increasing safety and more stable interoperability. A third tower is planned in Years 6 -10. Can not be funded by 9 -1 -1 funds.
<br />Note: This Viper Radio System project was reviewed as part of the charge to the Emergency Services Work Group.
