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. <br />.1 <br />
