Maryland County Awards Dark Fiber Contract to AiNET for LMR System

Wednesday, July 26, 2017

AiNET was awarded a contract by Prince George's County, Maryland, to run dark fiber to the county public-safety communications radio system, including improved connections to critical transit locations.

Prince George's County operates a digital radio network comprised of many above-ground tower sites, as well as three Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) sites that service Prince George's County portions of the underground sections of the Metrorail system at Largo Town Center, Suitland and College Park stations in Maryland.

AiNET will provide redundancy to the existing microwave radio connections to these sites, allowing Prince George's County public-safety communications to build a fault-tolerant solution to the WMATA sites, as part of a larger initiative to implement a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) solution across the county's entire LMR system.
