Why did Cumberland County choose to upgrade its radio communications system?
The legacy radio systems using the low band radio frequencies are extremely dated technology. It is subject to interference by electronic devices; at times during certain atmospheric conditions subject to skip that injects foreign co-channel radio transmissions into our radio system masking our traffic from the County public safety providers; and the trend of major manufacturers not building new base stations, mobile radios and portable radios using this bandwidth were the driving reasons. In 1995 the Office of Emergency Preparedness tasked SE Technologies to do a complete evaluation of the public safety radio system. SE Technologies report documented concerns with the technology in use at the time of the report and recommended seeking FCC licenses in the 800 MHz bandwidth and deploying a new radio system using trunking technology. The 800 MHz bandwidth was recommended since few if any frequencies were available in VHF high band or UHF band. Trunking technology was recommended for the
