System Overview After carefully reviewing your requirements for improved radio communications, Motorola Solutions, Inc. (Motorola Solutions) has prepared this proposal to provide Canandaigua VA with a new K Core system.

The proposed ASTRO 25 system builds upon Motorola Solution’s ASTRO 25 architecture by combining the open standards of P25 with distributed architecture and IP-based addressing. The system will provide Canandaigua VA with a secure voice communications platform, and provide a standardized and secure communications system.

Equipment Power Chart

MCC 7500E Dispatch Sites

Motorola Solutions included the MCC 7500E dispatch console to provide VA Canandaigua with the confidence of state-of-the-art secure communications, seamless IP-based connectivity, flexible system architecture with scalable components, and centralized console management.

MCC 7500E

System Architecture - Unified Event Manager (UEM)

The UEM provides system administrators a single interface to view the health of their system infrastructure. Drill down from a high-level dashboard to identify the finest component-level alarm, view metering data and access environmental status and controls.

Unified Event Manager

Verint Recording for Public Safety solutions is a channel-based logging recorder solution that helps critical infrastructure public safety answering points (PSAP) record various forms of media, such as emergency calls, radio communications, and more, which are critical to incident management and after action reviews.
