Miami Beach Selects Harris Corporation to Modernize Public Safety Radio Network
Miami Beach has selected Florida-based Harris to modernize its critical communications network – transitioning it from a legacy analog system to a new digital network that provides increased reliability & functionality for 1,000-plus first responders.
Miami Beach joins other South Florida communities – including Aventura, Coral Gables, the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County – that have chosen Harris’ advanced technology to connect its first responders.
Harris will provide an end-to-end digital solution that delivers unified, interoperable communications for voice, data and applications across multiple agencies, and simplifies complex dispatch center operations. The four-site simulcast system will include a VIDA® network solution; SymphonyTM command center dispatch consoles; XL-200P multiband P25 radios; and the BeOn® mobile Push-to-Talk application.
“We are honored to partner with Harris to provide excellent public service and safety to all who live, work and play in our vibrant, tropical, historic community,” said Melissa Berthier, Miami Beach Office of Communications.
“This selection shows Miami Beach values Harris’ P25 technology and the seamless interoperability that we will provide the city,” said Nino DiCosmo, president, Harris Public Safety and Professional Communications. “Harris’ solution will provide the tools that first responders need to stay safe and save lives."
