| A utility may only select a new mobile voice/data system every 10 to 20 years. The utility can benefit by following a proven procurement process in selecting a new radio system. Mobile radio systems can be voice only, data only, or a combination of voice and data. Understanding the capabilities of the leading vendors and the cost trade-offs between the different types of radio systems is key for a successful project.
PSE has established key repeatable business processes in helping electrical utilities determine what type of technology is best, selecting the most appropriate vendor, and completing the contract and financial steps while migrating to implementation. These proven processes and experiences will deliver value, while keeping the costs as low as possible.
When the decision is made to move forward on evaluation of a new radio system, PSE will support the utility in the following: |
|
|
|
- Create business, functional, and technical requirements.
- Complete feasibility and business case.
- Complete spectrum and FCC licensee planning and administration.
