Summary
The Regional Wireless Cooperative (RWC) is a state-of-the-art, 700MHz radio system managed as a partnership of 20 cities and other government agencies to provide region wide, seamless, effective radio communication for public safety first responders across the Phoenix Metropolitan and Central Arizona region. Public safety personnel's safety and ability to respond to calls for service and critical incidents in a coordinated, safe and timely manner is heavily dependent upon the RWC's robust radio and data communications system.
