"TangoTango makes sense for our agency as it affordably fills the communication gap we have as a rural EMS service. Our ambulances routinely travel far outside radio communication ranges of our jurisdictions. Additionally, we typically piggyback onto other communication systems (i.e. the fire department owns the repeaters and frequencies we use to talk to dispatch). Not only are communication networks expensive and short-ranged, we are also at the mercy of other agencies when upgrades or repairs are necessary. Install a box on the communication network, put TangoTango in the ambulance, and bam, our problems are solved."
