Project Accomplishments and Milestones to Date: System equipment is starting to ship, and Motorola has staging underway. Anticipated system set up in test environment by mid-March. Equipment is estimated to start arriving in Currituck County in mid-April and the installation will begin.

The applications have been submitted. We do not have a date yet for approval of thosenew frequencies, however, (if need be) the system will be able to go “live” with 5 of the 6 channels.
