I would like to hear from someone who can talk about all the problems Open
Sky had. Not just the cheerleading  pr piece below.
Bob



Yesterday, Harris Corporation announced that its VIDA® network and OpenSky®
  technology were used successfully as the communications backbone for the
recent  G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s STARNet system,  which was built with
Harris Corp. technology, allowed federal agencies, state  and local police (as
well as with Allegheny County, the city of Pittsburgh and  emergency
medical personnel) to work together, using a single communications  tool. The
PA-STARNet system processed more than 100,000 calls during the G-20  Summit,
according to the Pennsylvania Office of Public Safety Radio  Services.

Although this is licensed to Snyder This is one of the frequencies to be used as a "bridge" between PSP's Open Sky system and the locals.

As a result, the fire chiefs of Hanover and Penn  Township fire
departments, as well as Pleasant Hill and Jefferson fire companies  have decided
their
firefighters will use their old, analog radios while on fire  scenes to
communicate with each other.
Bistline said the new radios do have a  feature, known as "talk-around"
that allows them to communicate radio to radio,  essentially doing the same
thing as the old analog  radios.
http://cms.firehouse.com/content/article/article.jsp?id=65336&sectionId=46
============================

Even  with its 1950s-era technology, Penn Township Fire Chief Jan Cromer
had more  faith in the old system because of upgrades made to it specifically
to serve the  Hanover area.

"I will prove to anyone that the radio system Hanover and  Penn had with
added-on repeaters (on the analog system) worked better than the  system does
now," he said.

'A different animal' But, even after upgrades  are made, will the problems
be fixed? Jones, who maintains the weblog dedicated  to documenting the
emergency services communication industry, said digital  systems can be good.
However, they might not be the best choice for emergency  services. Because
such systems are very complex, they can be more of a  hindrance.

So, the fire department went back to its VHF analog simplex system for fireground communications. Each firefighter is equipped with an analog radio, while officers carry both an analog radio, which they use to communicate with firefighters in the hazard zone, and a digital trunked radio that they use to communicate outside the hazard zone.

In other parts of the country, the digital  radios–manufactured by Harris
Corp.–have caused problems.

Earlier this  year in New York, officials terminated a $2 billion contract
with M/A-COM to  build a statewide public safety radio network, citing the
system's failure in  numerous operational tests. The company has filed a
lawsuit against the state  for backing out of the contract, claiming New York
officials were seeking  financial relief during budgetary deficits.

In Milwaukee, the police  department's neighborhood task force still was
reporting problems with the  company's radios six years after purchasing the
system, according to local news  reports. Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne
E. Schwartz said in an e-mail that  the system "is still a work in progress
for our department."

At a 2006  firefighters association meeting in Lebanon County, Pa., one
firefighter said he  found M/A-COM radios did not always function inside
buildings. That raised the  possibility that a firefighter could be stranded
with
no way to call for help,  The Lebanon Daily News reported.

"I am not bringing body bags out on a  watch of mine over any radio
system," said Chief Paul Longenecker of the  Annville Union Hose Fire Co.,
according to the  paper.

Mike Weaver, director of countywide  communications, said that as work
progressed — slowly — on OpenSky, project  managers found problems with the
way
the system operated. Those concerns  culminated in the county
commissioners' March 2008 vote to terminate its  contract with supplier M/A-Com.

For three police departments and one fire  company, that means M/A-Com
radios bought for the new system are obsolete  already. Lancaster city's police
bureau is trying to find another agency to buy  its useless equipment

the testing and evaluation phase of the multiband radio  project. It's the
final step before manufacturers start inundating the  marketplace with their
own version of the radio. The eventual widespread  availability of the
radios makes me wonder: If multiband radios hit the market  next year and
public-safety agencies nationwide adopt them, why do we need to  build out a
broadband, public-safety  network?

"The Greenwich  Police Department discussed the matter internally," said

Earlier this month -- on the 26th day of a 30-day test period -- York County's new radio system failed, and police officers lost contact with each other and with 911.

Now, officials are almost halfway through a second testing period for the system, which was installed and is maintained by Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems.

"They (York County 911 officials) were wanting to find out the facts from Tyco, and it was our opinion that, regardless of what the facts were, it was a failure -- it shut the system down -- so we wanted the clock reset," said Richard Shank, Manchester Township fire chief and a member of the York County Fire Radio Committee.
