Redmond, WA, December 3, 2009 –  The Jackson Parish 9-1-1 communication center, in Jonesboro, Louisiana, recently went live with its new installation of Zetron’s Series 4000 Communication Control System. The new dispatch system not only employs an EF Johnson radio to enhance interoperability among different radio types, but also ties into Louisiana’s Project 25 (P25) system. Zetron reseller, Mid-State Communication Services, helped obtain and implement the system.

"The new Series 4000 system has far exceeded our expectations," says Detective Cody Cheatwood of Jackson Parish. "We love the way it connects to the state’s P25 system and patches the P25 700 MHz digital radio to the high-band analog radio system through the console."

"With the new system, they can turn on their encryption and change channels from the console," said Mid-State Communications Services President, Frank Coe. "And because they can use the EF Johnson radio to cross-patch the VHF to the digital 700 MHz system, the deputies can communicate seamlessly with each other, no matter which radio system they’re using."
