System design and coverage

Needs assessment

We talk with the people who use the radios and the people who dispatch them, look at the system you have now, and write down what the new one has to do: how many users and groups, where radios need to work inside buildings, and how much growth to plan for.

Choosing the technology

Not every organization needs P25. We lay out analog, DMR and P25 options side by side with cost, coverage and features, and recommend the simplest one that meets your needs.

Coverage

We produce predicted coverage maps from terrain and building data, for handheld radios outdoors and indoors and for mobiles in vehicles. If a design misses an area that matters to you, we show what it would take to cover it.

Sites and frequencies

We look at existing towers and rooftops first, then new candidates, checking coverage, access, power and lease cost. We draw up a channel plan and handle FCC license applications through your frequency coordinator.

Design and budget

The final design covers the system type, site list, consoles and backup power requirements. It comes with an itemized estimate and, if needed, a phased plan that fits your capital budget or grant schedule.
