According to Tony Kosiba, Motorola Solutions' senior account manager for Nebraska, the upgrades include new radios for the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Douglas County Corrections and rural law enforcement agencies in the county.

The Douglas County agencies will upgrade from Motorola Solutions' XTS series radios to mobile APX 6000 and portable APX 4500 and 6500 radios which allow for additional features and functionality.

The upgraded communications system also means enhanced data for first responders like GPS locationing to help boost safety during emergency situations and enhanced radio communication between county agencies.

Kosiba said, "The upgrades being made to Douglas Countys ASTRO 25 radio network will allow for improved communications and interoperability for all users of the system. The expanded capacity and efficiency of the communications network means law enforcement, fire and emergency medical teams can better coordinate responses during an incident."
