The existing GCSED remote site radio network consists of communications with over 30 sites, including three water treatment facilities (Northwest Regional Water Treatment Plant, South Beavercreek Water Treatment Plant, and Southwest Regional Water Treatment Plant); two wastewater facilities (Sugarcreek Water Resource Reclamation Facility and Cedarville Water Resource Reclamation Facility); as well as multiple towers, booster stations, and wells on the water distribution system and an influent pump station on the wastewater collections system.

Most radios and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) utilized in the GCSED remote site radio network were installed in the 1990s and have exceeded their functional life expectancy. The need for this upgrade was first identified in the 2011 Greene County SCADA Master Plan. During the past decade, many of the radios and PLCs have been discontinued by the manufacturer, including the GE 90-30 PLC, and the GE MDS 9810 and GE MDS 9710 radios.
