911 advisory: microwave link upgrades add redundancy to Seneca paging system
Summary
The county's emergency communications advisory reported a microwave link reconfiguration that creates redundant paths for the Seneca paging system, reducing the risk of loss of paging should one link fail.
Members of the county's emergency communications advisory reported an operational change that adds redundancy to the Seneca fire paging connection.
According to the committee’s summary of a written update from Kevin Bogart, the Seneca site had been effectively an "island" for paging traffic on the microwave network. The network was reconfigured so Seneca can now triangulate between at least two other sites — including a Morris site and the county 911 site — meaning if one link goes down, paging to Seneca should continue via the alternate path.
Committee members encouraged anyone interested to visit the 911 center, where a diagram showing the new connection and network flow was displayed. The presentation was described as showing how the added link (displayed in red in the diagram) connects the sites and enhances overall system resiliency.
No votes were required; the update was informational. Committee members described the change as an improvement to paging reliability for the Seneca area and encouraged continued coordination for budgeting and planning.
