Toronto FIFA 2026

[thecanadiangod]

TFS has encrypted (AES-256) a bunch of radios (between 20 - 40) on new TFS TG's (fire 1, fire 2) for the FIFA games.


Just posting this as I'm sure someone will notice. No I do not know the TG ID's.

KIDs would be nice too if any Toronto members can grab them when they are active.

I am running DSD+ on the South Tower. I don't see anything new popping up in the Fire range but I do 3 new TG's popping up in the police range. I am seeing a bunch of affiliations/transmissions for them in the last 12 hours but no KID's yet on TG 486 (53 hits), TG 487 (27 hits), TG 488 (9 hits).

TPS are the ones who programmed the TFS radios with the keys.

However I do not think you would be seeing any activity FIFA related at this point apart from training / testing.

Speaking of which, there has to be a ton of comms for FIFA. Anyone close to the stadium know if there's a new system popping up or if they're on rentals? I'll see if I can go down there some time and have a listen.

I've seen a bunch of new TG's pop up in the last little bit. It does appear to be in the TPS range mainly 464-492. As well as 108 and 109. All P2 with AES

 

[gary123]

The TG 108 and 109 may be Toronto Fire They sit right between the known Union Station and TFD common channels. If they are not fire TG then its possible they are TG set aside for crowd or shuttle operations from Union Station to the event site.

We may also see some activity on JES TG's as well, hopefully some clear traffic. I imagine if there is an incident TFS related they will still use their existing OPS/Tac channels for communications

I remember during PanAm, there were tons of vendors and contract security with rental radios. Mostly DMR Hytera. I wonder if the BearCom renal Cap+ system will have any activity on it? Also might want to check OnQ as well

I am seeing TG's in the 1xx range coming active..

I saw a KID of 0025 for TG 104 tonight.

Tonight I've seen 383. Which i assume is TPS with a RID of 451xxx (didn't catch the last three digits).
I also saw 1440 with an RID of 485232.

I know that TFS's DVRS start in the 484xxx range. I belive they are now using APX NEXT XVN's (Same as MFES). I imagine these TG's are for interop with TPS hence why they are encrypted.

 

[Enjoi19]

482 for DVRS. 484 is other miscellaneous radios in the TFS fleet.

With encrypted talkgroup 1440, I am getting a KeyID of 0040. Since TFS Dispatch is talkgroup 1401, could 1440 be within the Toronto Fire grouping? TG 107 is also using KeyID 0025. TG 469 is Key ID 1012. TG 486 is KeyID 1014.

I've put talkgroups from this post and from mining my .GROUPS file into the Public Safety Subcategory.

 

[mciupa]

Looking at the patches in the pic from Unitrunker, I see why talkgroup 478 has so many hits.

Toronto Stadium is a Cap+ system
1/2 451.5375
3/4 451.8875

FanFest ops are on the Bearcom Special Events system.

Metrolinx Exhibition Station is on a channel called IC2?

Lots of activity on 99A as well, seeing TG 1294 (KID1836) and 1212 (KID4118).

IC 2 probably stands for incident command

Yes, talkgroup 2 (Key ID 1001) is being heavily used now that the game is over. Also talkgroup 1, but not as frequently.

Bearcom Special Event 1 is used for FanFest. Sounds like talkgroup 101 is Control. 102, 104,108,110,118 are also used.

I've staged Toronto Stadium's trunk system, but need the colour codes to release it to the database. I'm too far away to get a Rest channel reading.

As promised: Toronto Stadium Trunking System, Toronto, Ontario

 

[polkaroo]

I wonder if the Toronto Stadium System is is temporary or permanent?

I would assume temporary as MLSE has (or had) their own system there.
