Schuylkill OKs $64K more toward 911 center

The Schuylkill County Commissioners voted to spend more money for the 911 center Wednesday.

The most recent purchase is for $64,817 to Nokia of America for “transmission and product engineering costs associated with broadband connectivity.”

COVID-19 funds will pay for the purchase, the third such purchase of items for the center with those funds.

County Administrator Gary Bender said previously the broadband will be used with the six mobile Nomad Remote Consoles the county purchased from Motorola Solutions costing $2.197 million.

Commissioners also voted in August to buy Nomad remote computer assisted direction positions for $60,516 from Logisys of Missoula, Montana. The devices provide longitude and latitude coordinates for responders, making it more accurate.
