Case study: MACC 9-1-1 Explains why they are now in a position to win

MACC-9-1-1 Case Study Video and StoryMACC 9-1-1 is the sole Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) in Grant County, WA. In 2013, MACC 9-1-1 received 63,831 emergency and non-emergency calls.

Dean Hane manages the MACC 9-1-1 radio communications infrastructure and system, dispatch console system and first responder subscriber equipment, and he recently shared about his experience working with Tait.

Tait, together with MACC 9-1-1, installed an 11-site TaitNet P25 Trunked Simulcast Network (800 MHz). Mr Hane says, we got the ‘full P25 meal deal’ with:

  • Linear Simulcast Modulation (LSM),
  • P25 Phase 1 Operation with the option to upgrade to P25 Phase 2,
  • 1,300 Tait P25 TP9100 and TM9100 AES encrypted Radios,
  • Nine Avtec Consoles for Dispatch Integration,
  • Services including Project Management, Design, Installation, Commissioning and Training.

The strong partnership between MACC 9-1-1 and Tait Communications has greatly benefited public safety for first responders and the citizens in Grant County. Mr. Hane says, “Tait is the best partner I’ve ever worked with on a project of this nature; I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years and have dealt with many multi-million dollar, contractual projects like this one. It’s certainly not a vendor-customer relationship, we have a true partnership.”

Staying at the status quo is easy, but we wanted to look ahead and be ready for the future. Now we’re in a position to win, to beat the bad guys and be ready for a natural disaster. We were never in this position before, but we are now.”
