So I guess you are saying TYCO a multi-billion dollar company is a liar? Do
you have anything in writing or a URL denouncing this. Can you get written
confirmation? Like I did. It would help greatly. Since TYCO say's yes and you
say No. In the article it names PB and other areas.


You missed the part where TYCO Said:

Tyco Unit to provide Public Safety Communication System
in Florida

Lowell, MA, April 17, 2001 - Tyco Electronics today announced that its
M/A-COM unit has been selected by Florida's Municipal Public Safety
Communications Consortium, Inc. ("MPSCC") of Palm Beach County, to provide
its OpenSky Wireless IP (Internet Protocol) Network to fulfill public safety
communication needs. The M/A-COM OpenSky Wireless Private Network will be
deployed in up to 30 municipalities in Palm Beach County, Florida. Palm Beach
County is the largest county in Florida, and in most of the eastern United
States, with a population of more than 1 million people and covering 2,578
square miles.

"The municipalities that comprise the MPSCC have shown great vision in
forming an alliance for the procurement of a state-of-the-art wireless
network to serve the public safety professionals and citizens of Palm Beach
County," said John Vaughan, vice president and general manager of M/A-COM's
Wireless Systems Business. "We are proud that OpenSky technology has been
selected by the MPSCC to provide the coverage, spectral efficiency, speed and
scalability required by these populous cities."

"Our search for the right public safety communication solution for MPSCC led
us to evaluate the advanced technology of the OpenSky network. We selected
this system because of its technical performance, its flexibility in meeting
our growth requirements, and M/A-COM's commitment to the business
relationship," said Wayne English, executive director of the MPSCC. "We were
impressed by demonstrations of the OpenSky network's interoperability, a
feature that allows us to form a bridge to other systems that are now in use
in Palm Beach County. This is an important feature to us as we seek to
implement a network that can be of immediate and real value to our member
municipalities."

The agreement, which includes two phases spanning the next 18 months, calls
for M/A-COM to provide OpenSky infrastructure equipment, subscriber equipment
and implementation services for a countywide, digital voice and data wireless
network. Phase I of the contract will be approximately $8 million.

The OpenSky system uses M/A-COM's Wireless Internet Protocol (IP) and TDMA
technology to increase spectrum efficiency while providing the benefits of a
packetized data solution
