Federal Experience

For 70 years, Federal, public safety and international customers have relied upon M/A COM in the design and turnkey implementation of more than 600 digital trunked LMR systems. This record of achievement reflects our customer commitment and core competencies in critical communications systems. M/A COM led the way in the federal market with the first P25 IP-based network with the Joint-National Capital Region (J-NCR) system. We have deployed, or are currently in the process of deploying, implementing and maintaining, over 37 P25^IP installations, covering many DoD bases and over 16,000 users.

Our J-NCR Regional P25^IP system supported the July 2005 Fort A.P. Hill Boy Scout Jamboree, which hosted over 45,000 people. In one day, July 27, 2005, the system handled 25,000 calls—2,500 during the busy hour—and over 600 interoperability calls during the busy hour.

Among M/A-COM’s P25^IP experience, we also serve many other U.S. military and government installations around the world with our exclusive EDACS networks. Like other
M/A-COM systems, EDACS provides the dependability required by government organizations, along with cost-effective procurement with the use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology. In addition, M/A-COM’s EDACS-based HYDRA shipboard communications system has been deployed on over 60 US Navy ships using COTS equipment with modifications to meet the needs of a shipboard system.

Our experience also includes the implementation of two digital trunked LMR statewide multi-agency systems (State of Florida and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania), and nine large wide area and multi-state LMR systems for utilities. We are also in the process of implementing the largest statewide wireless public safety network in the industry—the State of New York.
