Cumberland County evaluated formal proposals from a number of manufacturers. After a lengthy evaluation period the Commissioners rejected all proposals. In the interim the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (CoPA) announced the development of a new statewide radio system using 800 MHz OpenSky trunking technology developed my M/A Com. This afforded an opportunity to leverage state GSA pricing. The OpenSky trunking technology was leading edge utilizing Voice over IP (VoIP) wireless networking protocol. This cellular design using VoIP promoted more system efficiencies than the competitors offerings at the time of the award by the CoPA. Cumberland and Lancaster Countys quickly formed alliances with the CoPA and announced development of their own county radio systems using this technology. The alliance formed lasting partnerships that included shared radio facilities and ability to allow selected users to roam between the systems. Most functions associated with the users radios can be down loaded
