From October through December of 2007, Kimball & Associates conducted a thorough review of the County’s existing voice and data systems, including the 800 MHz trunked radio system owned jointly by the Pennsylvania State University and the Borough of State College. A strategic radio plan was submitted to the Centre County Commissioners and presented to the public on April 18, 2008. The 141-page report includes the major findings and recommendations of the future communications system for Centre County. The report includes details on existing coverage inadequacies, lack of interoperability with surrounding counties and other agencies, additions of desired features such as digital quality audio, location tracking and mapping, mobile data, over-the-air encryption re-keying, over-the-air subscriber reprogramming, and effective voice encryption.
