The London Transport agency has signed a $226 million contract with Airwave for a radio network to be used by police and other emergency services throughout the Tube, which includes a major network of underground tunnels in London and 125 underground stations. Airwave has already provided a national digital radio network to law enforcement agencies in the UK, and about 165,000 officers are already using the system. The new Tube system will allow London Metropolitan Police, fire and EMS agencies to also communicate below ground. The contract piggy-backs on a $3.9 billion digital radio system for Tube general operations, and is scheduled to be operation in 2008.
