And ask yahoo for help
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200901 ... - inactive, on 01/17/2009, -0/+10As was found out during 9/11 in NYC, the wireless network put into place for emergency response failed.......Sometimes simple radio networks of simple repeaters staged in several areas of town is the most reliable method of ensuring continued communication.

what lawyer doesn't return phone calls? - kent1146, on 01/17/2009, -1/+8You are ***** creepy.
- spyd3rweb, on 01/17/2009, -0/+7Theres no giant telecom contract for delivering government cell phone service with radios.
- r0b1, on 01/17/2009, -0/+5Govt officials already have the ability to raise the priority on their calls on a standard wireless network - it's called wireless priority service. So in an emergency like a 9/11, cell towers would be overloaded, and all they would have to do prefix their calls with a few digits. The tower would kick someone else off to make room for the govt official.
Why the need for a specific network for them? Seems like a waste. - nickspohn, on 01/17/2009, -1/+5Those damn numerous technological snags...
- 0crabby0, on 01/17/2009, -1/+4WTF?
What's wrong with using Ham Radios?
Just don't use trunked systems. - booyahbitch, on 01/17/2009, -0/+3Wireless (of this frequency) is way to fickle to use for emergency communications anyway. I am not sure what they were thinking, or if they were thinking at all. If you have repeaters on rooftops and those rooftops become compromised in some way, down goes the network. They need to get some serious brains working on this and ditch the dumb asses who can't make it work. lower frequencies would be ideal, anything below 800 mhz would propagate nearly by itself.
- Typhoon2009, on 01/17/2009, -0/+3When those phone calls are telling him to show up to court so he can be de-barred >_>
- depro9, on 01/17/2009, -0/+1Sounds like a bunch of ***** to me.
- Asten77, on 01/20/2009, -0/+1I'm not sure everyone quite grasps what this was supposed to be... The problem they're trying to solve is interoperability between various agencies, which historically have procured their own networks - which usually results in agency a being unable to talk to agency b. Contrary to what some commenters have inferred, this is a real problem, and it has cost real lives. An excellent example, while not in NY, is the Hurricane Katrina response.
It's not an easy problem to solve - but it doesn't sound like M/A-COM has been enthusiastic about fixing the problems. - CrimsonBlur, on 01/17/2009, -1/+2Good, who approved this contract in the first place? It's stupid and pointless, standard radios are just as effective, more reliable and don't require an expensive telecommunications network to be in place. At most you'll need some repeater stations for very long distances.
Why does the government feel compelled to award large contracts like these to solve problems that don't even exist? - inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+1Just use satellite phones on the Iridium network. Done.
- mswope, on 01/17/2009, -0/+1Does anyone know if M/A-COM is using an external contractor to design/install the network, or are they doing it all themselves?
- parafish13, on 01/17/2009, -3/+2bummer
- k9wkj, on 01/17/2009, -1/+0wtf is right
that network is in place and operating
i dont get why the wheel has to be reinvented by goverment every damn time
wake up and look around its all there and a hell of alot more reliable than any magic new pay system - jmyers349, on 01/17/2009, -1/+0"what lawyer does return phone calls?"
Fixed. - antoniuk, on 01/17/2009, -4/+2buried for posting local news to a global social news network.
- gfryesc, on 01/17/2009, -5/+1and you guys want Obama to digitize/standardize the entire nation's healthcare? might want to check your math on that one.
- inactive, on 01/17/2009, -7/+2Dugg because the related by keyword thingie has an article about "Hacking Techniques in Wireless Networks". Now I'll be able to put my wireless card in monitor mode and see what my hot neighbor is doing on the internet. Thanks digg.
