I am posting this because in the Pa STARNET system most of the "cell" sites
(used where high profile tower sites can not "see") are using phone lines for
connections to the system.
The police department plans to select a vendor within 45 days for the new
system, which will transmit via microwaves instead of telephone lines, police
spokeswoman Laura McElroy said. The project will be paid for through federal,
state and local grants, including about $6 million of homeland security money
earmarked to improve interoperability among local public safety agencies, she
said.
"I don't know if it would be foolproof, but it would be much less likely for
something like this to happen," she said.
