Boone Co new 7 location Simo System under construction

[wbloss]

News article says quotes Christie Davis, director of Boone County Joint Communications, "I expect by early fall, that system will be handed back over to communications, for further testing and then likely go live later this year for the 800 megahertz version of the radio system."

I queried her via email if the new 10-(16??) frequency, 7-site simo system will be part of MOSWIN, and she quickly replied, "Boone County’s new radio system is a standalone system and not part of MOSWIN. "

Which seems a bit odd, could have been on one of the new Zones, but I guess $$ issues, or politics.

Keep an eye on the frequencies on these licenses:
WQZB580 and WSMR504 and WRVG915

Watch these freqs in 7 locations from Centralia to Hallsville, to several sites in Columbia to Ashland.

Looks like it's Phase 2, and will have encryption capabilities. I wonder if law will be encrypted.

Probably since Broadcastify has it for any person to stream for free.

Most likely red tape. Columbia-Boone County is a strange one. They have a history of desiring to have full control over their systems. Whether it's IT, radios, etc, they want no one else touching their "toys". To me, it makes more sense for them to join MOSWIN, but joint governments are weird. For the sake of interoperability, I feel MOSWIN would be the way to go, but I have no dog in the fight in that area.

Likely on the encryption. I have no confirmation on that, but CJIS is jumping agencies' as*es to come into compliance with the AES requirements.
