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.
