National Interop helping the Seattle Police
Department,
Washington County Sheriff’s Office, and Multnomah County
Emergency Management with Communications Interoperability
The
company announces three interoperability projects in
the Pacific Northwest and a new Oregon facility
PORTLAND,
Ore., Sept 21, 2007–
National Interop, Inc. announced today that the
Seattle Police Department’s Homeland Security
Section (Seattle, Wash.) has
selected National Interop to provide consulting
on choosing interoperability
frequencies for their communications equipment,
including their MCV (Mobile
Communications Vehicle).
The company also announced that the Washington
County Sheriff’s Office
(Hillsboro, Ore.) has selected National Interop
for a consulting project on using the
local, state, and national interoperability
frequencies. Earlier this year the sheriff’s
office acquired more than 100 VHF and UHF radios
for use in responding to
disasters and other emergencies, including
Project25-compliant digital radios.
National Interop’s Oregon office is moving into
new, larger facilities near the
Portland International Airport and the Oregon
National Guard’s Portland Airbase.
The new facility can support multiple MCCV
(Mobile Command / Communication
Vehicle) projects at the same time.
The first vehicle project in the new facility is
the addition of broadband internet
satellite capabilities to the Multnomah County
Emergency Management (Portland,
Ore.) mobile command / communications vehicle.
The satellite unit will provide up
to 2 Mbps broadband internet capability for
Multnomah County virtually anywhere
in the county or region, enhancing the
capabilities of the incident command staff.
This can provide telephone, radio, and email
connectivity during disasters and
emergency events, regardless of the condition of
the local telephone and Internet
infrastructure.
