The emission designator got me searching on google - sure enough I found it to be the normal TETRA emission standard.
If this is a TETRA system then it should use frequency pairs with a duplex space of 45MHz, i.e. the frequencies 820.0375Mhz, 821.0375Mhz and 822.0375Mhz would need to be included, too. And it seems they are using an offset of +12.5KHz (hence xxx.0375MHz).

A quick check of the database confirms that they are using those pairs, so it very like is a TETRA system.

So despite nothing so far on a google search it is starting to look like the international company IFC Odgen who will be running the facility will be using a 12 talkgroups 3 frequency TETRA trunking radio setup. (TETRA radios can operate 4 talkgroups within the 25kHz channel x 3 frequencies = 12 talkgroups).
In case it's TETRA is would be one control channel + 11 traffic channels (which can be talkgroups (11 max. simultaenously), individual calls, gateway calls or data traffic, if enabled). Sorry for nitpicking.
