No, because the emergency services contract (which this is
piggy-backed
upon) is 4G.

Is this something to replace the tetra based network in the UK?
Yes. And it's also much delayed. But that's not really a surprise
for a large government IT project!


It's also going to be a total waste of time and money. Tetra just
worked, why change it..?


I think the problem is it's proprietary, and rather old. Replacing worn


Not that old in radio terms. Plod was still using motorola analogue trunking
systems only 15 years ago - I used to listen to them on a scanner. Tetra is
a lot newer than DAB!
