Cobb to spend $13.4 million on radios

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 Tuesday to spend $13.4 million for the new countywide 800 MHz data radio communication system.

This replacement network will be tied to new 800 MHz radios being purchased by each of the six Cobb cities for 911 Center communications.

Funding will come from the 2016 Special Purpose Local Options Sales Tax funds.
