Integrated Dispatch Solutions

IDS has announced the award of a multi million dollar contract to upgrade the United Airlines Flight Dispatch Center in Denver, Colorado. The project includes the replacement of eighty Five (85) Radio Dispatch Consoles and the upgrade of United’s Trunked Radio Infrastructure.

The Dispatch Center currently utilizes a Motorola Trunked SmartNet radio system utilizing 72 unique Talkgroups which IDS will upgrade with new base stations.
