[TheList] FYI

Reading they are scrapping funds for further expansion of the
secure police system, would the funds be available to secure fire and
ambos? 

Would not think so.

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.
