[Marcel]

A few people have asked what is the true meaning of  Interoperability?

As accepted by the FCC-

http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Wireless/Orders/1998/fcc98191.pdf

"Based on the record before us, we now confirm the definition for interoperability. We
anticipate
that this definition will serve as the framework that the National Coordinating Committee
will follow as it
adopts guidelines for more specific interoperability standards and protocols. 189
Specifically, we adopt the
following definition for interoperability:

# Interoperability: An essential communications link within public safety and public
service
wireless communications systems which permits units from two or more different entities to

interact with one another and to exchange information according to a prescribed method in
order
to achieve predictable results.
