SAFE-T System Advantages
SAFE-T will help agencies save lives and save money. The SAFE-T network provides public safety agencies with a cost-efficient alternative to upgrade communications. Agencies can eliminate system infrastructure costs because the IPSC funds the backbone and maintenance costs of the SAFE-T network.
Currently, taxpayers may be paying for as many as 3-5 separate radio networks in a jurisdiction that may not allow first responders to communicate with each other. SAFE-T will allow local jurisdictions to operate under a single unified network that saves taxpayer dollars.
Other network advantages include:
- User equipment prices won't change for 7 years, with discounts of 20-25 percent available when purchased through IPSC;
- Volume discount on maintenance;
- Advanced state-of-the-art technology to replace outmoded, disparate communication systems that may be up to 40 years old; and
- Support from the IPSC and project vendor Motorola.
