As a key partner of Motorola, Rz Communications was contracted to execute the sale of selected microwave technology from Harris Communications to the coalition. Rz Comm was also contracted to accept delivery, inventory, warehouse, transport, install, integrate and test communication equipment required for all 18 microwave tower sites along with the digital radio communication systems and all associated components. Rz Comm participated in the phased testing and will provide 1st level support for all sites during the warranty phase of the system. Rz will ultimately provide technical support for the system throughout its time in operation.
