Staff described efforts to reduce single-carrier outage risk and move Elko County toward a virtual selective router that would allow call-originating carriers to direct traffic to county endpoints. Lee said NGA has provided a form letter and contact list for carriers and that the work is carrier-dependent; he referenced FCC-related timelines and said, “I believe it's 6 months, to get the switch done and get us the data and the format that we can receive it in.”
