Phase One shall include the provision of a connection to the MAIT hub for each Fire and Rescue Control Room. This shall be a phased roll out over a defined period of time yet to be determined. Phase Two shall include each Fire and Rescue Control room to determine the level of MAIT integration they are able to accept, ranging from a stand alone solution, to semi-integrated, and finally fully integrated.
