Florida Gov. Jeb Bush announced today a contract to provide Florida’s law enforcement and first responders with an interoperable radio network. Through this contract, the Florida State Technology Office (STO) will establish a radio network that will enable first responders and law enforcement using different radio systems and frequencies, throughout the state, to communicate with each other. “Thanks to the partnerships between STO and innovative companies like Motorola and M/A-COM, Florida is the first state to give all law enforcement, first responders, and government agencies the power to communicate with each other regardless of what kind of radio systems or frequencies they use locally,” Gov. Bush said. “As a result, first responders and law enforcement officers will be able to talk with each other and share critical information regardless of hurricanes or other disasters in our state — even if their local radio systems aren’t compatible with each other.” Full Story
