New York state terminated a $2 billion contract with Tyco Electronics M/A-COM for a statewide wireless network (SWN) because the state was seeking financial relief during a time of unprecedented budgetary deficits, not because the land mobile radio, or LMR, system failed to operate as contracted, M/A-COM claims in a lawsuit against the state.
Made available to Urgent Communications last Friday, the litigation — filed in the New York State Court of Claims on Feb. 13 — also alleges that testing of the initial buildout phase of the SWN project was executed poorly and was largely inappropriate, because the tests targeted portable-radio functionality on a system that was only contracted to provide mobile-radio coverage. In addition, M/A-COM claims that the state ignored its independent consultant's findings that the system worked properly in three of the 19 areas cited by the state as being deficient
