Unless Essex County has been hornswoggled into being a beta test site, I doubt they will be trying to deploy Phase 2 in less than 10 months, especially as that part of the standard was only approved recently.
Phase II TDMA was approved over a year ago (November 2010) and Motorola has been shipping Phase II systems since August. ASTRO 25 System Release 7.11 enables Phase II on all G series base stations/repeaters and APX series mobiles/portables.
Rockland County has 100 GTR 8000 trunked repeaters currently being installed at 10 sites that shipped with Release 7.11 and Phase II enabled. That system, which will be up and running in a few months, will run Phase II TDMA right out of the box from Day 1. There will be
no Phase I FDMA or X2-TDMA users on the system
at all.
Referring to Phase II as some sort of "beta test" is amusing.
