P25 interoperability has long been technically possible, but actually implementing interoperability between systems run by different vendors is much easier said than done. It becomes even more tougher when system leaders want to connect disparate P25 networks in different states, integrate LTE, and introduce automatic roaming for the first time. Difficult? Yes, but not impossible. Learn how the New York State Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) police has cleared these and other hurdles to link its 700 MHz P25 system built by L3Harris to its partner system in Connecticut built by Motorola Solutions.
