was going away which basically we had to replace massive amounts of equipment. Let’s just say that. All the
servers were replaced. All the dispatch consoles were replaced at police and fire. Software was basically
upgraded and every piece of equipment that we had — switchers were replaced: routers were replaced. They
flew in two gentlemen for two weeks to do this. They also had three other gentlemen from Motorola coming in
and doing all the hardware transition as well. Tne whole process took approximately 2 7% weeks to go through.
Right now we were at 715. Now we’re at 717.
Mayor Donchess
You were at 715?
Bill Mansfield, Radio Systems Manager
715 is a version of the radio system. Now we're at 717. The next step would be 719. So this payment would
be the first payment of two payments to get that upgrade in two years from now to the most current software
and possibly hardware again features that are out there. That’s the main piece of the contract.
The other parts of the contract are what we have been doing for years. Our security upgrade services — every
week Motorola delves into our system and upgrades every Windows product that that is in our system with the
latest and greatest of security updates in the system. Again it’s just to keep the system safe and secure.
Astro technical support — that support is basically so when I’m doing troubleshooting on the system itself if |
need their technical assistance, | call them and they can dial into the system and help me determine what the
issue is and point me in a direction that | need to go in to have that item fixed.
Then we have preventive maintenance. Basically what they do is they go to all the sites here within the city —
all the radio sites — tune all the equipment and make sure that everything is running to specification. So they
do that once a year.
Mayor Donchess
You mentioned | think that the Windows 7 version was discarded. What came in in its stead?
Bill Mansfield, Radio Systems Manager
So they have Windows 10 on all the Windows projects right now.
