I forgot to read this part of someones last posting.
Band plans for 700 MHz, 800 MHz, and 900 MHz are transmitted.
I do understand the band plans when it comes to the ASTRO 25 Channel ID's and programming. Having the 900 mhz Channel ID would make sense when sniffing out on the Control Channel. But it does look like an 800 mhz Motorola System because the WACN is BEE00
Of course they will be in Phase II TDMA mode backend and the front end if they already have trunking radios then they can still use FDMA on the front end if their used radios are not TDMA equiped. If they are all getting new radios and were granted money most likey they are getting APX 6000 maybe but I think the 6000 are getting retired as we speak with Motorola. Most likely not at this point and will get the new N series portables or APX 8000 depending on price for the hip radios. Now for the mobiles will be the 6500 or 7500 or maybe the 8500 mobiles most likely depending on price and interops if needed.
That's my thought as well as hardware MACE which is not a nice topic that is already built free into the radios now. Comes standard now either hardware or SW-AES256. You do not even need the hardware MACE anymore on any BN radio or APX 8000 anymore. Welcome gentlemen to the new world.
You do not even need to use a 5K Motorola KVL anymore. But in government side of business you need a KVL with a shadow key to be safe and its most likely mandatory. But the free tools out there today are so awesome and work beautiful if you can't afford a 5K Motorola Pretty KVL. I have used free tools and loaded AES-256 Keys with just a programming cable and that's it. Beautiful what China makes and they are some smart Mother F'ers.
Also, with LMR, and LTE and WiFi and Bluetooth KVL's will be a thing of the past. OTAP and OTAR on the fly at lighting speed. The hand touching of radios are going to be a thing of the past. Look at your Android and iPhone and picture that being a Motorola radio now. Software updates and Firmware updates on the fly. OTAR whenever as needed with automation and hands free from a technician console and build containers and put radios in certain containers and push templates and OTAP and OTAR instantly no matter if they are on LMR or LTE or Wifi and hit the inside of their building and the radio instantly connects to the internal LAN and boom. Be on WiFi and not even know it.
The radio will be on LMR still and the data portion of the OS of the new N series can take the data portion and seperate and be on WiFI and get the data it needs while the LMR communicaiton is still hitting the trunking towers. Just like a cell phone. You have the LTE portion for voice and you have the 5G data stream for everthing else.
It's crazy whats coming so fast. My company we handle a 11K laptops daily and we barely hand touch ever anymore when pushing updates and now Windows 11. We OTAR every machine with its own AES-256 key. There are 11K different AES keys for each laptop. If I check out the key and give it to the user to get back into their machine, then the next day our automation just re-keys the machine on its own. It knows I checked out the key to get the user back into their laptop. See where I am going with all of this technology. When you report to The Federal Reserve Board they will hold you butt to the fire. If not, you are shut down. Period the end. You have no choices.
