We want to hear about how you'd like us to share information with users of the BRICS radio and 9-1-1 systems. If you are a BRICS user, please take this quick five-question survey.
Radio towers on the BRICS 800MHz voice system receive a thorough yearly preventative maintenance check. During this process, each individual tower is taken out of service for several hours so that site equipment can be checked and calibrated.
BRICS is offering several radio accessories for sale at or below Motorola pricing for members of the cooperative maintenance plan. Also, Motorola is offering a promotional discount on the XTS-1500 non-public-safety radio that has reduced the price to the lowest we've seen yet.
Update: Telephone service fully restored.
This week and next, engineering teams from Motorola and Mobilcomm will be working to upgrade the BRICS 800MHz voice system from Astro 25 release 7.7 to 7.11.
The BRICS office will be closed for the holiday on several upcoming days. BRICS will continue to have on-call technicians during this time, and you will be able to reach them in the same way you would on any weekend or evening.
