Company Communications & Dispatch Systems "J-Com"

One of the MOST important systems we have in place!

Communication is one of the most important things we count on in our profession.  A good communication system is a vital support force to make sure our paramedics are safe in the field as well as to insure that the patient or patients are given the best care and resources available.  Because of the emphasis we place on this aspect of our service, we use a digital high frequency wide area radio system in larger urbanized areas and have built a 400 MHz UHF radio system covering each of the more "rural" service areas with 100% radio coverage!  Most radio systems have a large problem with seamless radio communications, especially when on a portable (hand held) radio.  With this in mind, we have strategically placed "repeater" towers which enables us to contact our central dispatch center on portable nearly every place we go! 

We also now use the NEXTEL network, which gives us seamless radio coverage on long distance transports.   To go one step further, as a back up to this system, each unit is outfitted with a specially tuned cellular phone and each crew member is outfitted with a pager.  

When you call our emergency phone number, or when 911 transfers your call to us,  our computer aided dispatch center is able to enter your address directly into our system and pinpoint your location in seconds.  With you still on the line, we are able to instantly dispatch one of our paramedic units to your location as well as give the driver computer aided "landmarks" to direct our ambulance to your driveway by the best possible route!

From the outside, our dispatch center looks like a farmhouse built in 1876, which it is, but on the inside, it is a "state of the art" professional 911 communications center. 

When Seconds count....  count on Emergency Medical Transport!
