BOSTON, MA, — Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has been selected as the radio system and service provider for the Oregon Wireless Interoperability Network (OWIN) program. The state of Oregon awarded Harris a 10-year Price Agreement Requirements Contract. The contract vehicle will be used by Oregon state and local agencies to purchase public safety communication systems, radios and other equipment, and is expected to have a total value of more than $100 million. OWIN follows a mandate from the Oregon State Legislature to consolidate the radio networks currently operated independently by the Oregon Department of Transportation, State Police, Forestry Department and Oregon Department of Corrections. A statewide “network of systems” will be created for mission-critical, interoperable, public safety communications. Local firefighters, police officers and emergency medical responders will be able to use the enhanced system in addition to their own radio systems. “Harris was awarded the OWIN project following a thorough and detailed evaluation by the State of Oregon. We are honored to be under contract for this mission-critical statewide system,” said Steve Marschilok, president, Harris Public Safety and Professional Communications. “We look forward to working with Oregon to successfully deploy OWIN, a next-generation system that will serve the state’s first responders for decades to come.” Read More. |
