Speaker: Paul May, Systems Marketing, Harris Public Safety and Professional Communications, Lynchburg, VA.
Session Description: Now that the decision has been made on P25 Phase II technology, should you care? This decision has a huge impact on the future of critical communications and the agencies that rely on those systems. Furthermore, agencies have to decide whether they should migrate from legacy systems directly to P25 Phase II, or will Phase I suit their needs for the immediate future? Only through education about the subject will an agency make the right choice regarding the P25 Phase II technologies.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the differences between P25 Phase I and Phase II, and the operational benefits for public safety agencies
- Understand how to decide which technology is best
- Understand what will be involved in migrating to P25 Phase II technology"
