PA County Fed Up with "OpenSky"
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Lancaster County (PA), after nearly 10 years of frustration, has given up on M/A-Com’s "OpenSky" communications system for its county radio services, according to an article in LancasterOnline.com.
Burdened by expensive equipment costs, bankrupt contractors, technical glitches and hassles with software upgrades; the county was forced to throw in the towel, having spent more than $13 million on the poorly functioning system.
The county has yet to choose a different system, but believes it can complete the digital transition for less than the $35 million originally budgeted in 1999, according to the report.
