[Scan-DC] VSP Digital

Nothing heard around Roanoke.

The web site says:

Work on the Communications System Upgrade continues.
Of the 23 sites considered to be the backbone of the
microwave system, 19 have been converted to digital
service. The FCC has assigned 2 GHz microwave
frequencies that the Department had been using to
companies providing Personal Communications Services
(PCS). The PCS providers were required to relocate
incumbent microwave users at no expense. Work is
underway to relocate the last of the microwave
stations affected by this change. Cooperative
development or collocation agreements continue to fund
equipment upgrades from analog to digital microwave
system. Five additional sections of the system are
presently planned for upgrade.

The division supports all field efforts of the
consultant selected to design and engineer the
upgraded State Police land mobile radio network which
will serve all of the Commonwealth�s state level
public safety agencies. Licenses have been obtained
from the FCC for the necessary frequencies, and
planning continues.
