Toronto Fire P25 Timeline

[TheWarlock]

Is there a time line yet as to when we can expect to see TFS do a full move to the Toronto P25 system?

I ask as it is in the 700MHz and if I were to buy an XTS 2500 for 800MHz I believe the new 700MHz P25 system would be out of band.

The suggested timelines are in this document: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2014/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-72448.pdf

Start at page three for the details as the other pages are more background.

I would think that they are motivated to complete this ASAP.

Mike,

XTS2500 is a 7/800 MHz radio, not just 800 MHz.

Have they started the move over yet or they still doing minor testing Toronto Fire, been on holidays so haven't been listening lately.

There's a very small handful of TFS apparatus who are now P25 but most are still analog.

Toronto EMS is now all P25 and many of the channels are gone from the analog system (including the automated dispatcher on ICALL).

P25 EMS

Million Dollar question? Are they encrypted?

To my understanding no Fire & EMS are not encrypted on P25. Lets hope it stays that way.

This is information that I found by running Pro96.com last Saturday.

So far, the only use of Phase II have been the GO Transit talkgroups. I think Toronto City Security was also running it on the TPS system however they also ran encryption with P25 PII.
