Commissioners approve amendment to 911 contract with AT&T to move telephony from copper to SIP/fiber
Summary
Hamilton County approved three signature pages amending the county's 911 contract with AT&T to transition telephony from copper lines to SIP/fiber as part of a long‑planned upgrade included in the budget.
Hamilton County's Public Safety Communications director, Mike Huggs, asked the board April 28 to approve an amendment to the county's existing 911 contract with AT&T to transition telephony from copper (PSTN) to SIP/fiber.
Mike Huggs said the upgrade was long needed, is included in the budget, and would move the county away from copper lines to SIP/fiber telephony. Items one through three before the board were the same amendment and the signature pages needed to execute the change; commissioners approved the signature pages by voice vote.
Item four referencing an existing vendor deployment was tabled at the presenter’s request to allow final vendor coordination.
Commissioners did not discuss dollar amounts publicly during the agenda item; staff said the work is budgeted.
