Union County, Iowa First Responders Now Using New Mission-Critical Radio Network for Seamless Communications Across the County and State

Electronic Engineering has worked closely with the State of Iowa and Motrola Solutions to install and service much of the ISICS system in Iowa. We saw this story on the Motorola Solutions blog and want to share it with you.

Union County’s public safety agencies are using the latest Motorola Solutions radio communications technologies to help keep citizens safe.

Union County’s new mission-critical land mobile radio (LMR) network for first responders is now live. It is being used by the Union County Sheriff’s Department, Creston Police Department, Creston Fire Department and other public safety agencies for interoperable voice communications and collaborative emergency response.

The network is built using Motorola Solutions’ ASTRO 25 technology and is connected to the Iowa Statewide Interoperable Communications System (ISICS) so the county can communicate with all of the agencies that are using the system today. First responders are also using cutting-edge Motorola Solutions APX™ two-way radios that offer clear sound quality and a rugged build for the needs of public safety.

“We’re proud to celebrate the launch of our new radio system for first responders,” said Ron Riley, Chairman, Union County Board of Supervisors. “I want to thank the county’s Board of Supervisors for their foresight in planning for and building the system to help keep our residents safe. You can’t underestimate the ability to communicate clearly and seamlessly during emergencies, when every second counts.”

“Union County is part of a group of more than 35 counties who have joined the ISICS statewide radio network,” said Nicole Sherrill, territory vice president of sales, Central Region, Motorola Solutions. “They are already experiencing enhanced communications across the county. With ISICS, they will also be able to communicate with first responders across the state. This is critical, especially when responding to large scale emergencies – such as ice storms or tornadoes – that can impact citizens across multiple counties.”

This new system was built over the last three years and is now fully operational. A ceremonial “first call” of the radio system was placed by Mark Shepherd, Union County Sheriff, during the Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday, March 1.

The VT100 body-worn camera is an essential piece of equipment for staff in higher education organizations.

Its presence can help to de-escalate confrontational situations, and if a prosecution becomes necessary, its footage can provide clear evidence to protect your team against false accusations.

The camera is equipped with a range of security features to protect staff while preserving student privacy. It’s lightweight and can easily be attached to any clothing using a variety of mounting options. It’s very easy to use and requires minimal staff training.

Campus safety personnel can use the VT100 during their everyday duties to encourage responsible behavior by everyone involved. It is also useful to custodians for documenting on-site issues.

To our many customers who hold a FCC license

A private organization based on the east coast who uses a name that appears to show that it is affiliated with the FCC or its licensing division (it is NOT) is warning some licensees that a “financial penalty (fine)” may be assessed by the FCC if radio systems are not operated in accordance with the FCC’s rules.

And just in case licensees do not have a copy of the rules governing their radio system to discover whether they are operating within the rules, for a mere $119 per order no less, this organization will save the day and send you for five years straight, an “updated version of the FCC RULES AND REGULATIONS governing the PRIVATE LAND MOBILE RADIO SERVICES.”

Here's the tip of the week – the entirety of the current updated rules (see parts 20-39) governing private land mobile radio systems may be viewed by accessing the FCC’s web site at www.fcc.gov. For free no less!
