It would be GSM/GPRS in first phase. Since GPRS is paid based on amount of generated traffic that could be very good alternative for radios since police in Europe more and more use GSM phones instead of radios just because cost ot installing&maintenance of those networks. They will be looking at cost so it would be just business decision on the end. If cost is to high lets develop but I am pretty much sure that cost over GRPS will be smaller then cost of maintenance of their own network.
What I am looking at is: http://www.symbol.com/products/mobile_computers/mobile_stationary_vrc7900.html http://www.symbol.com/products/mobile_computers/mobile_stationary_vrc8900.html Trying to pull out price from somebody but no luck so far. If you guys have contact with Symbol distributer I will really appriciate Euro or US$ price so I can calculate pilot project.
