Temporary Roaming Plan In Effect

Effective Saturday 09/18, talk-group roaming between systems will be limited to EMS talk-groups only. This change is to help reduce the loading on the Delaware side of the system during the Delaware County Fair. These restrictions will be in effect until Monday 09/27.

If you have any questions or emergency roaming needs, please contact Patrick Brandt to arrange for changes.

System Update

At 5:25 am today, the system was restored to full service using the alternate fiber route to bypass the damaged cable. Delaware County's fiber vendor will be working today to repair the primary cable. Once that work is complete, the system will be moved back over to the primary fiber. This move back may case a brief return to site trunking, lasting no more than 5 minutes. Users will be informed prior to the move.

More details about this system event will be gathered and an after action report completed. That report will be shared with all user agencies.

Dublin/Worthington in Site Trunking

At approximately 23:55 on Tuesday 09/14, the Dublin/Worthington side of the system went into site trunking. A check of the system revealed a fiber optic cable cut in front of the Delaware 9-1-1 center that has disrupted the connectivity to the Dub/Wor side of the system.

At this time, the Delaware County side of the radio system is NOT effected, although Delaware County mobile data users have lost connectivity as that traffic is carried on this same fiber run.

Crews are responding to make repairs to the cable. No ETA is yet available. Radio users on the Dub/Wor side of the system have the option of using the system in site trunking mode or going to their back up plans using alternate trunked radio systems such as MARCS or the Columbus 800MHz system. Consoles at the Dublin & Worthington dispatch centers will remain disconnected from the COIRS system until the cable is repaired. Updates will be posted as they become available.

The next COIRS Technical Committee meeting has been set for Monday September 27th at 1pm at Worthington PD Headquarters. Agenda items should be submitted to Jay Somerville by no later than Friday 09/17.
