Cochise County Sheriff's Office Border Alliance Group installs new radio system
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office contracted Tait Communications along with Durham Communications of Mesa to install a TaitNet P25 Simulcast Network solution for the Cochise County Border Alliance Group narcotics task force to work along the Arizona/Mexico border. This simulcast radio system will be implemented throughout a three-site county area and according to Pablo Duarte, Communications Engineer for the Cochise County Information Technology Department, "The install went smoothly and the outstanding coverage specifically along the border has far exceeded our expectations."
The simulcast system is a digital communication standard that has been developed to ensure that radio systems from different manufacturers are able to communicate with each other and it has a strong encryption protocol that makes communications more secure. The Sheriff's Office was in the market to upgrade the task force radio system in order to provide better and more secure radio coverage when Tait Communications offered the opportunity to be one of the first law enforcement agencies in the nation to implement and test their system.
The offer was made at a substantial savings compared to other system manufactures and Cochise County had prior knowledge of the products and effectiveness of the Tait product after having previously procured a VHF analog simulcast system that his being utilized by many public safety agencies county wide. The Cochise County Sheriff's Office Border Alliance Group now has a 21st century communications system that provides additional safety and security while enforcing the law and completing their missions.
Dever said, "This was a great opportunity and we seized upon it immediately. Safe and secure radio communication in the border environment is a must and has long been a unique challenge. This system greatly enhances the ability of agents to do their jobs more effectively in this sometimes hostile environment."
