Motorola Solutions Australia has inked a AU$175 million seven-year deal with the South Australian government for the upgrade and management of its emergency services wireless network.

No mention if it will be phase 1 or phase 2, the trial site running in the CBD in Feb was only showing 1 slot for each band plan when I visited...

I think I can finally put a tick next to the SAGRN map and get back up north, I've done just about all I can do for now...



That's every site registered to the SAGRN except the obvious single freq / link / pager sites, there are quite a few sites there that weren't included in the old system list, not sure what's going on there, maybe upgrades?

Anyway, if anyone spots anything that doesn't seem right just let me know... now back to the mysteries of the QLDGWN!

Looks like there has been some movement on the SAGRN too...

ACMA Site 22919 - SALISBURY (48 York Terrace) has been removed (there are no longer any SAGRN freqs registered there)

And two new sites have been added:

ACMA Site 404157 - ELIZABETH (City Centre Shopping Complex Philip Hwy)
and
ACMA Site 10007957 - ADELAIDE (Lift structure, Festival Drive, North Terrace)

Latest news is that the Emergency Services will start using the P25 SAGRN in the second week of May 2018 and all agencies upgraded by July 2018

Interesting... You would have to assume that most, if not all, of the sites have been upgraded by now then, have there been any updates on which sites are what P25 site numbers?

The last update I saw was from September last year (2017).

Thanks for the update! The following sites have been added to / identified on the SAGRN map:

RFSS 001 Site 005 - TROTT PARK (SAGRN Tower Cnr Majors & Lonsdale Roads) - ACMA Site 303952
RFSS 001 Site 077 - GLENELG (Stamford Grand Hotel 2 Jetty Road) - ACMA Site 41111
RFSS 001 Site 093 - KADAMERE (Telstra/GRN site West End Highway) - ACMA Site 501747
RFSS 001 Site 094 - PARNDANA (Telstra site Vivonne 15km WSW of) - ACMA Site 502471
RFSS 001 Site 127 - MAITLAND (Telstra tower 2 km NE of) - ACMA Site 24754
RFSS 001 Site 131 - COONARIE HILL (radio site 20km NE of Marion Bay) - ACMA Site 24781

RFSS 003 Site 006 - IRON KNOB (BHP Radio Hut Main Hill) - ACMA Site 24851
RFSS 003 Site 008 - MOOCKRA (Police Tower Stoke Hill) - ACMA Site 24365
RFSS 003 Site 009 - MUCRA HILL (Trig Reserve Black Rock) - ACMA Site 502260
RFSS 003 Site 075 - NANTABIBBIE (Telstra site 9 km NE of Oodlawirra) - ACMA Site 36741
RFSS 003 Site 082 - KIMBA (Whites Knob Lookout 2 km North of) - ACMA Site 25131
RFSS 003 Site 088 - MOUNT WEDGE (Comm Site 31 km NE of Elliston) - ACMA Site 25197
RFSS 003 Site 089 - MT LAURA (SAPD Tower) - ACMA Site 25063

Its a phase 1 system.

That's a little disappointing, but I wonder if that's only temporary until all the agency's radio fleets are upgraded?

NSW and VIC have the same problem, whereas QLD was able to specify phase 2 capable radios only from the outset. I'm sure we'll catch up eventually.
