In December, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved the contract with DELTAWRX, LLC to provide Project Management and associated services for the design and implementation of the Monterey County Next Generation (NGEN) Public Safety Radio System. Since that Agreement, DELTAWRX has proven to be a valuable partner in the development of functional requirements, telecommunication radio site development, radio frequency acquisition, and coordination between the prime NGEN contractor, Harris Corporation, and multiple departments within the County of Monterey.
