Brevard County Public Safety Radio System

The Brevard County 800 MHz Public Safety Radio System was built in 1990 as a four multisite EDACS trunked system. As technology evolved and the urban surface boundary expanded, enhancement of the radio system was imperative. In 2013, Emergency Management received funding to expand and improve the radio system to a three-cell simulcast system configuration. The two primary simulcast cells were completed in May 2016. The third simulcast cell, dedicated to the beach area, will be completed by the end of 2018.

The current system includes eight sites, two Integrated Multisite Console Controllers (IMC) sustaining wide-area communication, as well as IP gateways and VIDA Switch for future migration to Project 25 standards. It utilizes Harris Corporation technology, supports 70 county and local agencies, and provides interoperability with the State of Florida Law Enforcement Radio System (SLERS) and Florida Region 5.
