County's radio system costs $4.9M
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Hamilton County took its first step into the digital communication age Wednesday when commissioners approved spending $4.9 million for a limited 800-megahertz emergency communication system.
Commissioners budgeted $6 million to buy radios for about 40 of Hamilton County's fire and ambulance services. The contract went to Motorola because of its low bid.
Communities not included in the limited system include Cincinnati, Norwood and the so-called Valley Group of Silverton, St. Bernard, Golf Manor, Amberley Village, Deer Park, Indian Hill, Elmwood Place, Reading and Wyoming.
All other fire and ambulance service in the county will have at least one of the digital radios. Police agencies are not be part of the new system.
The radios should be installed by the end of the summer.
