2027 Agenda

A Case Study in Interoperability - 20 Disparate Agencies and Four Radio Manufacturers

George Balasko  (Facility Manager, Radio System Administrator & Auxiliary Police Commander, Parma (OH) Police Department)
Track: Interoperability & Convergence
Format: Power Session
Vault Recording: TBD

As public safety entities are mostly independent across America, the interoperability of disparate systems has been key. Hear a case study of one Ohio region that had 20 different public safety agencies and four radio manufacturers. Learn how they managed to get all of the systems - and people - to work together to create both technology and budgetary efficiencies.

Takeaway

Understand getting several different systems to interoperate for voice.
Explore how public safety can retain individual systems yet have them work within a greater technology system.
Examine policies and procedures to provide governance over the combined systems.
