Greater Austin-Travis County Regional Radio System

Greater Austin-Travis County Regional Radio System GATRRS Overview GATRRS is the Greater Austin-Travis County Regional Radio System. The system went live in 2003 as a trunked, simulcast, 800 MHz, P-25 two-way voice radio system serving Austin, Travis County, Austin Independent School District, and UT-Austin. Since 2003, many systems have been connected to the GATRRS master site for improved interoperability.

GATRRS Overview: Terms Defined Greater Austin-Travis County Regional Radio System GATRRS Overview: Terms Defined Trunked: A way to share a limited number of frequencies with a large number of users. Term comes from railroad, telegraphy, and telephone worlds: “Trunk lines” connected major cities together and telephone switching offices to each other.

GATRRS Overview: Terms Defined Greater Austin-Travis County Regional Radio System GATRRS Overview: Terms Defined 800 MHz: “Eight-hundred megahertz” is a frequency band commonly used by local government public safety. Austin-Travis, Bastrop, Lee, and WilCo use 800 MHz channels. 700 MHz: Also available to local public safety. The DPS Capitol site (part of GATRRS) uses 700 MHz; the Caldwell system uses 700 and 800 MHz. VHF: “Very High Frequency” band in the 150 MHz range for public safety. Blanco, Burnet, Llano, MRGDC, and STDC use VHF channels on their trunked GATRRS systems.

What is Interoperability? Greater Austin-Travis County Regional Radio System What is Interoperability? Ability of first responders to communicate, via voice or data, with other first responders from other agencies in real time. Cross-jurisdiction, cross-discipline, on demand, as authorized during multi-agency response. Can be accomplished in several ways.

Who can interoperate on GATRRS? Greater Austin-Travis County Regional Radio System Who can interoperate on GATRRS?
