2027 Agenda

Buy a bunch of radios, send them out the door, right? Nope! You need to consider interoperability, integration, programming, enhancements, upgrades, expansion, politics, tracking, training, maintaining, replacing.... You get the idea!

Communications systems have become infinitely more complex as new technologies have changed, and equipment is deployed to the users in your organization. Each independent user agency adds project complexity and required proactive management. And you can't just shut down everything for a few hours. Lives depend on it! In this panel, hear about the challenges of managing a radio deployment project, upgrades, and integration. Hear the field deployment perspective, sharing the tracking and communication efforts needed to support the deployment as the interface between agencies, vendor, installer, and the project team. In addition, get step-by-step instructions and a resources list from the consultant who organized the deployments, as well as a case study overview of a successful coordination of tagging, programming, installation, and transition of 1800+ end user radios.
