Read moreCase Study: Hamilton County, Indiana
Hamilton County, Indiana has an area of approximately 400 square miles with a population of 300,000 that grows to almost 500,000 during various entertainment and sporting events. The county shares the Motorola ASTRO 7.16 trunked system with the City of Indianapolis (Marion County) and Madison County. Upon implementing GenWatch3 software, being able to troubleshoot system events was impressive. For example, Hamilton County had been experiencing difficulties with their fire station alerting. An exorbitant amount of time was spent reviewing thousands of lines of log files to determine if a call alert had been properly sent and received. With the GenWatch3 reporting suite, this data was available in minutes; saving personnel many hours of lost productivity.
