Colorado's Statewide Interoperable Radio System
Radio Resource has partnered with leading manufacturers to provide the best two-way radio communications equipment for public safety agencies in Colorado.
Everybody all on the same network, all able to talk to one another. That’s the dream of interoperability, and something that the state of Colorado is well on its way to achieving, thanks to its statewide Digital Trunked Radio System (DTRS). The development of the statewide system began in 1991 with the formation of a users group tasked with the development of the system and operational requirement plan. The final plan was completed in 1995 and legislation adopted in 1998 for the funding and system implementation.
Establishing partnerships with local government agencies has played a huge role in the success of the system. The partnerships have resulted in the formation of the Consolidated Communications Network of Colorado (CCNC). Today, CCNC is the user organization that works in partnership with the state in the operation, planning, funding maintenance and governance of the system.
