Communications systems built on utilizing an end-user IP network, public carrier, or backhaul infrastructure are designed to maximize system reliability and minimizing vulnerability. 
Depending on geographic location, it is important to consider the environmental factors of the terrain and your unique communications requirements when choosing NXDN®, DMR, P25 technology to build out your wide-area communications network. The goal is keeping your team safe and connected under any circumstance and minimize downtime if a disaster occurs. 
Choosing a communications partner and system technology that provides a distributed IP-based system architecture eliminates the threat of a single point of failure and provide a truly redundant system with multiple layers of protection. However, there are times when a central control system is necessary due to the requirements of the system users. With proper planning and design, systems technology utilizing a central core controller can be built with georedundant controllers to reduce the single point of failure. 
What communications technology and system design are best for your agency? We’ll explore case studies including Hurricanes Irma and Maria in Puerto Rico and the flooding in South Carolina and discuss how proper planning during design and implementation kept the communications systems on the air during the disaster situations and how the sites were quickly restored during recovery.
