The project aims to renew a radio network used
by 38,000 frontline and emergency responders over
750,000 square kilometres. The contract to build
the system’s land mobile radio network—which
includes core infrastructure, support antennas,
servers, and data centre equipment—was awarded
to Bell Mobility Radio. It will also provide first
responders, as well as their dispatchers, with new
radio equipment and consoles and provide network
and radio equipment maintenance services for 15
