The Aiken, S.C. E-911 Communication Center moved into a new location in late December 1999. The old center consisted of two (2) Motorola Centracom II consoles with multi external encoders for paging. 

The new center uses four (4) Orbacom TDM-150 NT version consoles that are interfaced with a CML telco switch, Comcad CAD, mapping, SLED (NCIC or DCI) and ANI ALI enhanced 911. The Orbacom system has transmit modules to control remote transceivers, paging encoder, plus auxiliary controls for handling gates, etc…. Each console is totally PC driven and uses one keyboard and one mouse. There are three (3) 21” monitors per position that make up one virtual screen which displays all of the information. 

There has also been a new TAIT Quasi Sync System installed for the Sheriff’s department. This system has four (4) Tait ultra high stability transmitters that are positioned throughout the county. When the dispatcher transmits, or when one unit talks to another, all four transmitters are keyed and the transmit audio goes out on all of them simultaneously. When a radio in the field is keyed, the four (4) receiver audios are fed back to a Doug Hall voter and the best audio is selected and passed to the consoles.

This allows approximately 95% coverage throughout the county for all portable radio equipment.
