If the upgrades are not funded, the system will not be able to alleviate the current service /coverage issues. Channels and additional equipment will be added to the following locations based on the most current information from the state. 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 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 channel; Mebane Site: 2 channels. 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 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. Note: This Viper Radio System project was reviewed as part of the charge to the Emergency Services Work Group.
