Pennsylvania to deploy OpenSky network September 3, 1999 LOWELL, Mass.—M/A-Com Inc. and AMP Inc. entered into a $95 million contract under which M/A-Com's OpenSky Wireless Internet Protocol network will be deployed for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's statewide public safety digital radio communications system. The network infrastructure will be comprised of several hundred base stations, as well as regional control centers and network control centers, all tying statewide agencies and others to a single network. OpenSky's IP backbone carries all voice messages in a compressed and encrypted format, providing five times the voice capacity of a typical circuit-switched network, said M/A-Com. OpenSky technology is targeted for public safety, transportation, utilities and private mobile fleet management, said Dennis Martinez, director of wireless systems, M/A-Com. Pennsylvania's system is slated to be completed in 2001. ======== Some more information on OpenSky operation and protocols at macom.com
