Request for Proposal

By Charlette Angeron posted 08-29-2013 17:07

  
Our communications center is requesting proposals for a new fire radio system. We will also be acquiring a new phone
system and possibly a CAD system.  I would appreciate anyone who has recently purchased new equipment to give me
some feedback on their system--good points and bad.   We have four (4) positions in our center at this time.
Thanks.

We recently purchased via Cassidian a Vesta SL-100 2.3 with Orion MapStar 5.3. The entire process went very smoothly from the Cassidian & Motorola end. The training and instructures were excellent. There are several CAD systems out there that will work, however, we cannot afford one at the time.

Charlotte - There are several P25 system providers out there such as Motorola, Harris, EF Johnson, Tait and Cassidian just to get you started. The E9-1-1 space is equally diverse with competitors namely Cassidian, Intrado & Zetron for starters and CAD suppliers measure in around 100+ manufacturers. One stop shops like Moto can bring the P25 and CAD systems to bear as well as the E9-1-1 system with their relationship with Intrado. Other integrator type companies that represent multiple manufacturers can also bring together a total system offering that would meet your needs at perhaps a more attractive price point. It really comes down to what you need today, how do you want/need to grown with your technology into the future and of course your capital budget that you have to work with. Would enjoy the opportunity to talk with you more should you desire.
With Respect!
