Our Public Safety experience dates back to 1951 and involves hundreds of projects from the
smallest towns and boroughs to the largest cities, counties and states. These involved a wide
variety of projects from feasibility studies, to radio and telephone system designs, to developing
technical specifications and RFPs to system implementations. The management and use of the
radio spectrum and radio interference mitigation are important considerations in the design of RF
systems. CTO’s personnel employ a wealth of expertise and experience to assist and advise our
clients:

CTO believes that the analysis done by only a single person assigned to a project is an opinion
rather than consulting. CTO utilizes a team approach to our public safety technical projects. Not
only are highly trained and qualified engineers assigned, but CTO also assigns analysts with hands
on experience in public safety operations issues and communications centers. This combined
approach ensures that CTO’s work product meets the client’s operational needs as well as the
technical system(s) requirements. To help ensure the highest work products CTO maintains an
active Quality Assurance Program.
