Communications Federal Mandated Narrow banding in 2012 resulted in lack of coverage. System evaluations conducted in 2007 and recently this year. Angel Tower in Corrales/ Fourth location. System overhaul of equipment and upgrade to Analog Simulcast System. ICIP $1,599,011 Improved communications between Fire and Police to Communications Center. Communications Slide Notes-   Federal narrow banding requirements have made radio communications challenging by the lack of coverage in the Rio Rancho. In 2007, a consultant was contracted to take a comprehensive look at our current communications network and identify improvement needs. The first component of an improved communication network is erecting a tower at the top of Angel Rd in Corrales. Field tests were conducted proving this to be a valuable public safety tower location. This project, aided by a Corrales initiative in the New Mexico legislature to fund a shortfall over and above a Homeland Security Grant, is in the process of construction and will add a fourth tower to the network. The second component is an overhaul of the existing radio equipment to an analog simulcast system at the cost of $1,599,011. This is the Police Department’s number 1 project on the ICIP. The analog simulcast system will improve the radio system for the Rio Rancho Police and Fire personnel so that their radio transmissions to the Communications Center can be received. This will be accomplished by a multi-cast microwave network linking all of the current towers and the future Angel Rd tower together. This will allow field officers on portable and mobile communications to key up multiple transmitters simultaneously, providing for clear communications back to the 911 center.
