Success Stories Public Sector - City of Dothan

“The public service agencies in Dothan work hand in hand, so it’s important that everyone can connect quickly with one another – especially in the event of an emergency,” said Powell. “SouthernLINC Wireless provides the police and fire teams with a redundant system – which doesn’t tie up the Motorola radio system.” - John Powell, Dothan Chief of Police

Overview

The city of Dothan has benefited immensely from a combination of interoperable cellular phones and more reliable radios. Now, city personnel have the ability to connect immediately at the push of a button, whether they’re using a city radio or a SouthernLINC Wireless phone. Read the full story.

Benefits:

SouthernLINC Wireless and the Motorola ASTRO 25 improved communications for the City of Dothan in the following ways:

• Interoperability: Motorola and SouthernLINC Wireless worked together to help ensure that the ASTRO 25 radios operated seamlessly with the SouthernLINC Wireless phones, enabling communications across multiple agencies. “One of the greatest benefits of working with SouthernLINC Wireless is interoperability – the ability to reliably communicate with other local and state agencies,” stated Powell.
• Network Reliability: Since its inception, the SouthernLINC Wireless network has a proven track record of providing reliable communications during and after several major hurricanes, including Erin, Opal, Ivan and Katrina. Powell said that the wireless phones proved reliable in past emergency scenarios, including when a tornado hit Enterprise, Ala., in 2007.
• Critical Coverage: Since SouthernLINC Wireless functions across the state throughout metro and rural areas, Dothan city officials knew that the carrier’s service would be reliable even in remote locales where they had experienced spotty coverage from the city’s private radio system.
