It is in magazine articles and on blogs and e-mail list serves – the FCC 2013
public safety narrowbanding mandate deadline is approaching.
Action is required, but the task of figuring out your options and how much it will
cost to be compliant requires in depth knowledge of radio systems and the
mandate. Although you may possess this level of technical knowledge, the
activity probably does not fit into your regular work routine. Rather than risking
coverage and/or receiving hefty federal fines, let us help you out.
GeoComm offers a narrowbanding audit for agencies with VHF and UHF radio
systems that may be affected by the FCC mandate. GeoComm’s radio
consultants can come on-site and help you get started by conducting a
high-level analysis of existing radio systems in order to develop budgetary
pricing for radio systems and equipment required to become compliant with
current infrastructure and for alternative solutions. We can also review current
licenses and provide a summary of how they are each affected and what
actions need to be taken to modify them for compliance.
There are additional considerations for implementing narrowbanding that
depend on the age, make, model of your current radio equipment, your existing
public safety radio system, your neighboring public safety radio systems, and
how all of this is affected by the narrowbanding mandate. Start planning and
implementing today.

FCC Narrowbanding Mandate
“GeoComm's consulting team was phenomenal from the very start of our project. Our first contact
was the presentation of their proposal to evaluate the Fire Department's current dispatch and
communications system. The GeoComm team presented their proposal with professional
determination, making it easy for the Santa Monica Fire Department to choose GeoComm for the
project. In fact, GeoComm did such a great job throughout the project that the original contract
was modified to include a second contract to oversee the implementation of their
recommendations. We couldn't have been happier in making GeoComm our consulting team!”
