If you've called 911 in Coweta County since last Friday, your call has been
processed by the latest technology. The Centralink
911 System by Motorola was installed last week after it was approved by the county
commission last year.
The installation of the $142,000 system was completed in early August and
Motorola trained employees in its use last week.
The transition took only minutes and was described by 911 Director Eddie Ball as
flawless.
"We have not experienced any significant problems other than minor
programming changes in the software," Ball said.
The new system brings Coweta County 911 up to date in technology and insures that
the county will be able to keep up with the new technology as it becomes available, he added.
Installation was accomplished by Metropolitan Communications of Carrollton
with system programming and optimization by representatives of Motorola. Change over of
telephone circuits was done by representatives of BellSouth.
"It was a team effort and it went
extremely well," Ball said.
