What if the biggest threat to your emergency communications center isn’t a cyberattack… isn’t a hardware failure… isn’t even the network…
…but the invisible radio waves leaking, bouncing, and blasting through your ECC every single day?
In this episode, Fletch pulls back the curtain on one of the most under-diagnosed, under-reported, and absolutely operationally brutal problems inside modern 9-1-1 centers: RF interference.
We’re talking
🔹 Wi-Fi bleed
🔹 5G C-Band splashover
🔹 Building DAS collisions
🔹 Paging transmitters
🔹 Leaky chargers and power supplies
🔹 Portable radios left on the console (yes—again)
🔹 And the million-dollar noise floor nobody budgets for
You’ll see how interference affects:
• Console stability
• Location accuracy
• Call handling systems
• CAD terminals
• Radio audio quality
• Even your backup paths
We’ll break down:
✅ Why RF interference is dramatically worse in NG911 environments
✅ What every ECC should be monitoring (but isn’t)
✅ How to design an RF-quiet dispatch floor
✅ And the real-world fixes that keep your center from becoming a Faraday cage made of chaos
If you’ve ever heard a random burst of static, seen a console screen flicker, or watched CAD freeze when a patrol unit keys up their mic… this episode is for you.
