The Board of Los Angeles Port Commission approved a $4.87mil contract with Motorola to expand the Harbor Departments police UHF radio infrastructure.
Port of LA Police will grow its current 2-chanel UHF P25 conventional system to 4 channels to better serve the needs of up to 200 subscribers including allied agencies while meeting FCC narrowbanding and APCO 25 standards.
Port expects the enhanced system known as “Tactical Radio System” to be operational on or around August 1, 2012.
Additionally the Port Commision awarded another $1.69mil contact for a system known internally as “Interoperable Radio System”.
This system to be utilized by Harbor Department civilian security and field staff, and will replacing currently utilized City of Los Angeles City trunked radio system.
The four channel trunked system will include a dedicated radio site at the Harbor Departments HQ that will improve reception and eliminate dead zones currently experienced with the LA City system. The new Harbor Department dedicated radio network will however be interoperable as a “sub-system” of the LA City system still to allow the port staff to conduct communications with other city agencies if required.
Its expected this system will be operational on or around June 30, 2012.
Sounds like the second system will be the 700Mhz system which Port received FCC licensing for last fall.

While for the Police system I recall seeing them being granted two additional frequency recently – 472.2125 and 508.0375 joining their existing WQOU581 license for 472.1875.
