The Tait system will provide the saturation coverage to ensure all staff throughout Jackson County will be instantly available on the same channel and will stay connected in the most challenging working environments. The QS2 system also overcomes the biggest drawback of traditional simulcast systems - costly regular maintenance.

The new second generation QS2 system is now even more cost-effective through a simpler system architecture, which overcomes the need for several of the hardware modules required in the original system. “The simpler and more flexible architecture means the system is easier to understand and operate,” adds Bill.
