The FCC has ordered that ALL local and sate public safety licensees operating a wideband (25 kHz) system in the VHF or UHF land mobile band convert (reprogram or replace) equipment to operate on narrowband channels (12.5 kHz) on or before December 31, 2012. This includes all users in the 150-512 MHz radio bands. After this date, public safety radios that are not using narrowband channels can no longer operate. Agencies that fail to comply risk losing their FCC License and fines up to $10,000 per day.
As we are addressing this issue with companies we are finding that many have not renewed their existing licenses nor have they developed a plan to make this mandated conversion. South Sales has solutions and the ability to assist with license renewal and cost effective systems and equipment to comply. Call us today for a free evaluation.
