Failure of the Centre County 911 Emergency Communications System
Chronic and Ongoing Problems with Motorola’s Trunked 800 MHZ Network
For almost a year now, fire departments in Centre County have endured an intermittent interference or system malfunction that causes transmissions to sound distorted or audio to “drop out”. The problem generally appears as a garbled radio transmission, usually from a field unit, and sometimes appears as dropped audio into the 911 Communications Center and to other field units. The problems began in the fall of 2006. Motorola engineers have been unable to determine the source of the interference or system malfunction. Click here for an actual recording of the interference. Failure of the emergency communications radio system endangers firefighters and places the general public that we serve in jeopardy.
