Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems Awarded Contract to Upgrade Arizona’s Salt River Project Communication System to 900 MHz OpenSky Network
LOWELL, Mass. – Sept. 22, 2008
Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems, a worldwide leader of critical radio communication systems, today announced it has been awarded a contract by
the Salt River Project (SRP), located in Phoenix, Arizona, to upgrade the utility’s existing 900 MHz EDACS communication system to an Internet
Protocol-based (IP) 900 MHz OpenSky communication system. The OpenSky system will expand the coverage area for the day-to-day voice communications
needs of water, electrical, service and emergency personnel. SRP’s radio system will also allow for future expansion to accommodate data
communications for the more than 1,400 radio users on the network.
As one of Arizona’s largest electricity providers, it is critical for our service staff to have dependable communications,
not only to better serve our customers, but also to ensure the safety of all of our field personnel,” said Ron Taylor, senior principal
engineer, SRP. “Our EDACS system has served us well, and we are ready to transition to the future of critical communications with the OpenSky system.
We’re confident this upgrade will enhance our communications capabilities and provide us with the coverage, the capacity, the features and the reliability
we require to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our work.” |
