News: Central Virginia municipalities sign agreement with Ericsson

Aug 1, 1996 12:00 PM

The Central Virginia Regional Radio System committee signed a contract with Ericsson, Lynchburg, VA, for a $11.7 million radio system that will bring seamless communications coverage to the four participating municipalities' public safety agencies.

According to community officials, users will have access to more advanced services, and taxpayers will save about $23 million by sharing tower sites, maintenance fees and other infrastructure costs.

Ericsson will provide its trunked technology to the cities of Lynchburg and Bedford and the counties of Bedford and Amherst, all of which are co-owners of the system. The system will consist of six sites, support about 1,700 users and cover an area with a population of about 150,000.
