Series 4000 Expansion Boosts Interoperability and Saves Money
In 2006, the Clark County, Indiana, Emergency Communications Center completed a successful expansion of their existing Zetron Series 4000 Communication Control System. The new equipment allowed the center to join the statewide SAFE-T program, which enables interoperable radio communications among all local, state, and federal public-safety agencies throughout Indiana. “We more than doubled our communications capabilities with the upgrade,” says Clark County 9-1-1 Administrator, Brad Meixell. “We have been very happy with the system."
The new equipment “…allowed them to get the expansion they needed at minimal expense,” says Roger Love, Systems Engineer at J & K Communications, the Zetron reseller that helped with the installation. “They have estimated that, compared to the other vendors’ proposals, this solution saved them several hundred thousand dollars.”

Equipped with Zetron’s Series 4000 Communication Control System, the EOC is providing the city with the centralized system they need to respond quickly and effectively to disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and floods, which are common in the region. The system was installed by King Stone Taiwan.
The EOC is designed to receive disaster and emergency reports through the 119/ 110 emergency telephone system. It is also used to mobilize rescue and disaster-response efforts and handle communications for the city’s fire departments, EMS, helicopter air-aid services, traffic control, water-command system, subway operations, and police.
As a result of the EOC’s success, other cities and counties throughout Taiwan are currently implementing or considering similar installations based on the Series 4000.
