The new public safety communication platform is a M/A-COM system provided through TransCore, Inc., based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The system will be tightly integrated into the CONXX backbone and will improve coverage in areas where public safety communications has been a longstanding problem.
“When we found that we had to upgrade our public safety system, I was concerned about the cost,” Brian Feist, director of emergency service for Cambria County, said. “We needed to find a system that would not only fix our public safety problems, but could also address some of the bigger communication issues we have to leverage the investment. I think we succeeded.”

I asked the director in an email about the system. Here is his reply:
We are going to use analog UHF in a 12 tower county wide simulcast system.
Our equipment will be digital working in the analog mode. Our police have
been UHF for years. We are bringin fire up from low band and EMS uf from
high.
