They use Telus Mike radios almost exclusively. ERT and confined space teams still use some UHF gear, but it's pretty rare.
Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry9700/5.0.0.862 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/332)
The spec for the system specificaly stated that it has to be media proof.
Originally they looked at an in-house Harmony system but Motorola said no.
I'm surprised they went with Telus, considering...

Would Telus provide a "media proof" solution using Motorola equipment while minimizing vendor markdowns on equipment no one else is buying?
Well, I would imagine that Telus would have installed either an in-building DAS setup (like Fleetcom did at Toronto International), or just put a site close by (assuming there already isn't one).
Use off the shelf equipment that they already have. Plus the benefit to this for Cami is that they have a very wide coverage area. So, when an exec from Cami needs to head over to GM's Head Officer in Detroit, they're never out of touch with the rest of the company.
...then again, with cellphones these days, that point is moot. Doesn't mean it doesn't look good on a brochure!

Telus installed a site right on the premises. It provides excellent coverage thru the plant for their own people as well as contractors and such using their own Mike phones.
Forts is right. Tellus looked at the loading that would be needed for such a system and determined that local 'public' towers would be saturated by the number users in the plant. Local sites were beefed up with extra channel blocks to handle bleed-out and local roving of plant units. Also the inplant site removed the need for BDAs and other signal extenders within the complex.
