Lockard & White Selected by Lee County Electric Cooperative for Land Mobile Radio Project
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – 3/16/2022
Lockard & White (L&W), a leading provider of network and telecommunications engineering services to critical infrastructure providers, has been selected by Lee County Electric Cooperative (LCEC) to provide consulting engineering services and develop a formal business case for replacement of its land mobile radio (LMR) system. The report will detail LCEC’s needs, solutions available in the market today, and how a new solution can support its users. LCEC currently employs a multi-site conventional VHF system with vehicle telemetry monitoring (AVL), providing two-way communication coverage for field operations crews that require real time communication to complete their work tasks safely and efficiently.
“The current VHF conventional system has fulfilled a critical need for the company for decades, but the current equipment, technology, and its limitations have reached end of life. Faced with the need to explore solutions, LCEC selected L&W based on its depth of experience and successful track record in the industry,” says Aaron Egler, Supervisor II of Communications Services, LCEC.
“It is a privilege to be selected by LCEC and to work with their team to modernize its LMR system to benefit all company users.”
-Jeremy Brandt, Director of Engineering Services for Lockard & White
In addition to an evaluation of the existing LMR system and alternatives, the business case will include a budgetary cost estimate to implement the replacement solution, as well as a roadmap and timeline for the recommendations to be implemented.
