Cumberland County (Penn.) officials issued a press release boasting they’ll receive $6 million in free radios and accessories from Sprint/Nextel “as part of a national effort to eliminate interference.” The agreement is part of a Nextel-suggested, FCC-mandated rebanding of the 800 MHz band that is still in-progress. The press release puts a particular spin on the deal, noting that county law enforcement agencies have been using the M/A-COMM radio system since 2005, while fire and EMS agencies just started using the system last July.
