The brand name Motorola is required to ensure the radios are compatible. The HDI Federal Center utilizes 800 MHz Motorola radios and to ensure that these work properly with the new radios, Motorola will be required. In addition, the local law enforcement, fire departments and emergency services also utilize this brand of radio. This will allow HDIFC EOC/ERT personnel continued access to the MPSCS that is necessary to ensure effective facility-wide communications with local, county, state and federal resources during an emergency. Per DOD Instruction 6055.17, the HDI Federal Center must stay uniform with the equipment local support uses. This is to ensure interconnectivity between the parties. Finally, the radios will receive programing from the State of Michigan. All of the templates have been created for programing this particular radio and to change the programming would incur an additional cost.
