[TheList] FYI

Hi O...

If Australia is anything to go by, then police will be encrypted (as they
are now) but ambulance and fire will not be. If that ends up being the case,
then you can monitor ambo and fire still, with a digital-, trunking-capable
scanner.

  Hmmm,

  And will Fire and Ambo bother with the expense of encryption? Would seem
like a waste of $ to me.

  Beat me to it ;)

  I believe that means no money to continue the rollout and although Fire
and Ambo in the areas were Police are already digital will probably go
Digital too it probably means the rest of NZ will not.

  Hi,

  A new news release is available for you to view on the Police website:

  Title: Aggregated model for Whole of Government Radio Network (WGRN)

  An aggregated service model is the agreed way forward for the Whole of
Government Radio Network (WGRN).

  "Approved by Government in December last year, the model will see a mix of
both digital and analogue radio networks for use by public protection and
disaster relief agencies," says Police Deputy Commissioner Resource
Management, Viv Rickard.

  A governance board will be established to drive efficiency, enhance
interoperability, and review and coordinate future investment in radio
communications.

  "The governance board will work with future adopting agencies to integrate
them into the Whole of Government approach under the aggregated service
model," says Mr Rickard.

  The decision will see Police continue to operate on its digital radio
network in the three metropolitan areas of Auckland, Wellington and
Canterbury, while maintaining its analogue network throughout the rest of
New Zealand.

  It is envisaged that by 2014/15 the Fire Service will complete its
transition to the Police digital network in the three metro areas.

  The WGRN business case recommended Ambulance services also move to the
Police digital radio network. The governance board will work with Ambulance
services to further this recommendation.

  "Having Police, Fire and the Ambulance services on the same radio network
in the three main centres would mean a significant proportion of the
population will be covered under a modern digital Land Mobile Radio network.
This maximises the use of existing assets and provides risk mitigation in
the event of a mass casualty or major disaster relief incident,” says Mr
Rickard.

  Other interested agencies will come on board to the WGRN as it suits their
operational and budgetary requirements - a process that will be managed and
overseen by the governance board.

  Mr Rickard says Police led an inter-agency WGRN Steering Group which
determined the aggregated service model best met the needs of agencies; was
financially viable; made the most of existing radio network infrastructure
and left room for agencies to further explore and consider new and emerging
communications technologies.
