Illinois	Peoria County	December 2007		Never Built	$11.2 million Contract signed with M/A-COM in December 2007 with an expected go-live date of June 2010. From the July 10, 2013 meeting minutes of the Peoria County Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB): In 2005, the ETSB went out for bid for a Countywide radio system. At the time, a proposal was submitted for a P25 Digital Radio System by another vendor at a cost of approximately $30 million dollars. Due to financial limitations and the competitive bid process, it was decided that the Open Sky system, for approximately $11.3 million, would suit the needs of Peoria County. Due to the inability of Peoria County to secure the number of radio frequencies required for the Open Sky system, and a clause in the original contract specific to that, the ETSB was able to negotiate a change in technology with our vendor, Harris Corporation, from the Open Sky system to a P25 Simulcast Radio System for the same contract price of $11.3 million. It took much due diligence on the part of the ETSB, and specifically the ETSB Technical Committee, to negotiate that contract Change Order. Ultimately, Peoria County is getting a more sophisticated and dependable radio system for the same contract price.
Indiana	Steuben County	May 2007	January 12, 2011	Users reported No Confidence in April 2011 Replaced by a P25 system	$5.6 million Eight channels, six repeater sites, 800 MHz System went live January 12, 2011.

Texas	Lower Colorado River Authority		2011	Operational	900 MHz system Service area covers 50,000 square miles, "abutting Mason to the west, Houston to the east, Temple to the north, and San Antonio to the south." January 10, 2011: LCRA is currently in the process of migrating from its current Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS) to a new "OpenSky" wireless communication system. OpenSky is a Harris digital radio technology that will be used for LCRA’s next generation radio system. LCRA’s migration to OpenSky will utilize the 900 MHz frequencies covered by LCRA’s extended implem entation plan. Both site infrastructure and terminal radio equipment for LCRA’s existing EDACS radio system are no longer being manufactured for this aging technology. Furthermore, support for this older EDACS system is becoming more difficult as the expertise is being directed toward the newer technology. Nevertheless, approximately 8200 of LCRA’s internal and external customers depend on the EDACS system for their daily operations. As such, LCRA will continue to work with its customers to provide a migration strategy that is both economically and operationally feasible. LCRA will continue to operate in the 900 MHz spectrum with OpenSky, thus allowing the reuse of existing antenna systems, site infrastructure and available channels. The radio migration is phased in a five year implementation schedule to allow for the hardware replacement of 56 sites and adequate testing during each phase. The phased migration is also necessary for LCRA to coordinate both internal and external resources. It is essential that LCRA phases its radio migration to allow its customers to adequately plan their transitions. May 9, 2018: Due to benefits related to cost and coverage, Fayette County focused in the past on adopting the 900 MHz Opensky system as the standard for their emergency responders. After several years, it has become clear that the lack of interoperability of the 900 MHz system with surrounding P25 compliant systems is causing significant challenges related to intra-county and regional interoperability. LCRA Fiscal Year 2019 Business and Capital Plans Radio System Migration – FY 2019 Telecommunications Upgrade – The project will upgrade firmware in approximately 3,200 OpenSky radios to allow for conversion to the P25 network commonly used by emergency response organization dispatchers. The upgrade is based on vendor recommendations and notifications regarding termination of OpenSky support for the radio system
