The reason for this system is because many of the Hudson County agencies are on T-Band, including some cities that operate trunked systems on it. If Congress does not take action, the FCC will be forced to carry out the law and take back the T-Band frequencies (they don't want to, and it's not their idea, it's Congress). If they take back the T-Band frequencies, they'll have to go back to putting many of the police departments on 159.09, Bayonne Fire on 166.25, and North Hudson fire on 170.15 and 154.325 just like it was 45 years ago. So, they built the system to take on whatever got displaced. Some cities, like Union City may not need to go on because they are on 800 MHz. Now, as far as frequencies are concerned, there are 5 frequency pairs licensed. One stays up as a control channel, but the other 4 are TDMA. That means they can accommodate 8 simultaneous transmissions. With prioritization and releasing the voice path as soon as someone unkeys, the system can be pretty efficient. It should work fine. If it goes into queuing, they can add frequencies later based on doing the Region 8 and 28 studies so long as the majority of their signal remains within a few miles of Hudson County and doesn't interfere with anything else co- or adjacent channel to them. They might also be able to roll in Union City's five 800 MHz frequencies into the system and give them countywide coverage, while increasing capacity by another 10 simultaneous talkpaths giving them the equivalent capacity of a 19 channel trunked system.
