This is an "unofficial" update on the Rockland TRS as of May 21, 2008. It is by no means an all-inclusive update, it's just hitting on a few key points of major interest.
- Effective May 15, 2008, the FCC has granted the county another 2 year construction deadline, now set to expire on September 9, 2010
- The county is currently in the process of negotiating multiple leases for the system sites
- Construction has begun on one of the major system network towers
- The county has switched the system architecture from Astro 25 LE to Astro 25 IP (which will eventually be software-upgraded to the APCO P25 Phase II TDMA standard), and will use GTR8000 linear base/repeater stations and MCC7500 consoles
- Construction of the new county communications center is slated to begin shortly
- The county will be a Gateway Partner (Level 2) on the NYS SWN system
- The county is working with neighboring jurisdictions to create interoperability with their trunking or conventional systems
- The county TRS will be interoperable with the V-Call, U-Call and I-Call systems
