Does anyone know from an operational or practical standpoint how rebanding actually occurs? I know that the end goal is to change a group of frequencies to another group of frequencies, but what I'm wondering about is how a complex system with numerous sites, agencies, and users actually goes about making the change?
Is a parallel system setup so that the two systems can operate in parallel during the transition period? Is it done in some way where with a command from a computer everything is commanded to make the change simultaneously? Does some outside provider come in with mobile equipment and setup a temporary system to run parallel during the transition and then pack up and move to the next system to do the same thing? Does everyone transfer communications to secondary channels on other systems during the transition? How long does it take?
Given the need for communication to continue throughout the process, it must be something with a high level of confidence that it will work.
At least one curious mind would like to know.
Thanks.
