RSSMassachusetts Selects Consulting Firm for Final P25 Design
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Interoperable Radio System (CoMIRS) serves as the statewide communications backbone and is used by municipal, regional and state public-safety entities for operable and interoperable communications and to dispatch emergency services in response to 9-1-1 calls.
CoMIRS provides operable and interoperable communications for 245 public-safety, transportation and environmental agencies throughout the Commonwealth. Of the nearly 30,000 radios active on the network, about 60 percent are used for daily mission-critical communications.
The project will build on CoMIRS’ initial P25 network design plans completed in 2017 by the commonwealth’s Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS). MCP will be responsible for confirming and revising the initial design plans, initiating site acquisition activities and developing a procurement plan for the network, which is intended to improve coverage, expand capacity, enhance 9-1-1 coordination and provide a sustainable funding model.
