Ambulance Victoria's (AV) new Digital Radio Upgrade Program (DRUP2) has commenced. After a successful 'soft launch' of some AV units trialing the new digital radios in the Geelong area, the official launch of the project will begin on the 20th of January 2025.

New, digital encrypted UIDs on the RMR as well as digital voice audio piped onto the SMR are the clear indicators that have been inevitable for some time. AV will soon become digitally encrypted across the state of Victoria.

Rollout dates are as follows:
  • Barwon SW: Jan 2025
  • Grampians: March 2025
  • Loddon Mallee: May 2025
  • Hume: July 2025
  • Gippsland: October 2025
Unfortunately, the upgrade is necessary, due to several issues with interference on the SMR Network which may be related to issues around Warrnambool over the last 12/18 months
