Given all of these concerns, coupled with a number of study cases where the introduction of non-P25 digital systems have been installed with significant negative impact on interoperability, the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council’s (NPSTC) Interoperability Committee is examining this issue in detail through its Emerging Digital Radio Technologies (EDRT) Working Group. The working group will release a white paper later this year, with the current findings being that the introduction of non-P25 digital technology almost always results in a significant reduction in interoperability. The solution is beginning to focus on the need for all handsets and all infrastructure to include 12.5-kilohertz analog, in addition to any other technology mode, to properly support interoperability
