A Joint Agreement to determine the <br />operations, maintenance and financial management of the CCCS was executed in November <br />2001, and subsequently the County of Orange (County) completed the 800 MHz CCCS <br />implementation on behalf of these Orange County agencies. <br />The 800 MHz communications system allows all police, fire, public works, and marine safety <br />agencies in Orange County to share a common radio system, yet provides agencies with their <br />own dispatch and tactical channels. The unique capability of 800 MHz interoperable <br />communications system provides communications amongst the various County and municipal <br />disciplines during major mutual aid incidents. The 14 year -old backbone infrastructure today, <br />along with agency owned equipment and dispatch consoles has reached its end of life, and a <br />systematic replacement of obsolete equipment is scheduled over the next four fiscal years. <br />55A -1 <br />
