Whitesville, WV
Helping counties / agencies transition form their aging analog systems to digital is our specialty. We started this project several months ago by hanging a Commander Omni at the top of Whitesville Fire Department’s preexisting tower on a leg adjacent to their VHF antenna. Supplying the antenna with a single run of Eupen 7/8 hardline from the antenna to the building. We then installed and linked a second repeater at our Drawdy location giving them seamless portable coverage into the Boone county side of their coverage area. With P25 Conventional coverage throughout their area we were ready to move forward to the next phase. With the help of our friends at Discount Communications and Electronics we were able to supply 15 Unication G3 pagers which left us with one item remaining, in station alerting. With our custom built system they have visual signals in the offices / living area, and audio through out the entire building. With a different alert tone for Fire / EMS, a call will never be misunderstood and aid in speeding response time.
This was the final step in going live with their new P25 system. Beginning Monday July 24th all paging and communications will make the transition off of analog VHF.
