Based on recent City Council meeting agendas/notes SWRCC will be joining NTIRN once this system is fully stood up.

The City and County of Dallas have been working together, along with Motorola, to stand up a new P25 radio infrastructure. The City of Lancaster along with our regional partners (Cedar Hill, Desoto, and Duncanville) have been in close discussion with City and County of Dallas officials over the last few years regarding the progress of the building of their P25 radio system. We have been advised they expect to bring their P25 system on-line during the second quarter of 2022. The Dallas system will be comprised of twenty-nine radio towers strategically located throughout the county and will also have robust redundancy built-in for the protection of the system and its users. The system will have ample room to accommodate southwest Dallas County public safety entities previously mentioned, including Lancaster, and many others. When stood up and implemented, it is anticipated both the Dallas system and the Tarrant County system will be connected to further increase an overall system footprint throughout the entire DFW region. The City of Dallas has prepared a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for cities, interested in subscribing to the Dallas P25 radio system. We recently received the proposed Interlocal Agreement (ILA) from the City of Dallas.
