Southern Linc integrates Blount County public safety radio systems with CriticalLinc LTE network

Southern Linc, a subsidiary of Southern Company, partnered with the Blount County, Alabama Communications District to integrate the county’s existing VHF and P25 networks with the CriticalLinc LTE network. Southern Linc installed a Catalyst Communications Technologies gateway and dispatch console to connect LMR and LTE communications for public safety users. Blount County 911 Director Derrick Walker said the system is designed with three layers of redundancy, using LTE as the primary layer with P25 and satellite as additional layers. The deployment included Sonim XP5plus devices to support mission-critical push-to-talk communications across the county and with state agencies using Southern Linc.
