No idea. But I do know it's all top of the line equipment in the racks 
(3com switches, primary and backup, Alcatel licensed links, etc.)

Hi,

You can check either Clark or Bannock counties in Idaho. "700mhz" is all 
they tell me.


Around here, it is the 2-way radio guys that are doing all of it... and 
it's a lot of work (just watching how many times they have had to go up 
to a certain tower to fix things).

Hi,

It's not the city, but rather County and State. I have no idea how they 
did it... but there was BIG money available after 9/11 to setup these 
type of systems.

Care to share how the city got a 700 mhz license ?

Hi,

I'm not sure about other parts of the country, but here in Idaho they 
have been using 700mhz for city/county emergency services. Many towers 
have expensive ($100k) point to point links to feed the system, and then 
a full rack of equipment inside. The idea is that every emergency 
service would be able to communicate with each other using only 1 radio. 
They will also have voice and data services from that same radio, and 
it's fully roaming.


I only know of two towers with it running, but there are plans to 
install several more systems this summer.

WASHINGTON-Law enforcement and first-responder groups asked key Senate 
lawmakers to consider a private-sector plan to designate a block of 
spectrum in the 700 MHz band for a national wireless broadband 
public-safety network, one that would be shared with commercial 
wireless carriers and include an interoperability capability 
policy-makers have repeatedly call for-without success-since the Sept. 
11, 2001, terrorists attacks.


"We are dedicated to ensuring that public safety has access to the 
most advanced technology to support those services that meet its 
stringent requirements to provide safety and security to all 
Americans. Congress and the [Federal Communications Commission] cannot 
afford to pass an opportunity to explore the availability of an 
additional 30 megahertz of spectrum that would meet public safety's 
needs as well as elevate the safety of all Americans," stated the 
organizations in a letter to Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted 
Stevens (R-Alaska) and the panel's ranking Democrat, Sen. Daniel 
Inouye (Hawaii).


The letter was signed by officials of the Association of Public-Safety 
Communications Officials-International, International Association of 
Chiefs of Police, International Association of Fire Chiefs, Major 
Cities Chiefs Association, Major County Sheriffs' Association and 
National Sheriffs' Association.


The groups said they are studying the proposal submitted by Cyren Call 
Communications Inc. to the FCC late last month, and have not decided 
whether to endorse it. "However," they stated, "we do believe that the 
concept of reallocating the 30 megahertz of spectrum in the 700 MHz 
band in a manner that would promote interoperable, public-safety 
broadband communications is worthy of public discussion."


A public debate that could prompt lawmakers to reconsider plans to 
auction by February 2008 valuable spectrum in the 747-762 MHz and 
777-792 MHz bands is precisely what the cell-phone industry wants to 
avoid.


Mobile-phone carriers are keenly
