Redmond, WA-October 30, 2009 - The National Park Service (NPS) recently installed Zetron’s P25 VoIP Radio Dispatch System at two new NPS dispatch centers—one at  the Midwest Regional Ozark Communication Center (MROCC) in Harrison, Arkansas, and the other at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Dispatch Center, near Keystone, South Dakota. The new systems are P25 capable, support narrow banding, and improve coverage without requiring additional microwave and hard-wired connections. Tribalco of Bethesda, Maryland, served as the primary contractor for both projects.

"We can communicate even with our remote areas, and we’re better able to respond to emergencies," says Louie Stoops, lead dispatcher at the MROCC. "I also like the system’s simplicity and user friendliness. If we get busy and need to add dispatchers, they can learn the console very quickly."

"Both systems are working flawlessly," says Joe Snyder, radio program manager for NPS, Midwest Region. "VoIP RDS not only meets our requirements for P25 and narrow banding, but it’s so flexible that it  allows us to eventually offer 24/7 dispatching to parks that don’t have their own centers."
