FOREWORD
Land mobile radio (LMR) networks are critical for public safety communications. Insupport of the Public Safety Wireless Network (PSWN) Program Management Office (PMO),Booz
•Allen & Hamilton analyzed conventional, trunked, and hybrid system architectures toprovide background information to public safety system planners on the different architecturealternatives.
Comparisons of Conventional and Trunked Radio Systems
considers typical systemsarchitectures. However, it does not analyze specific vendor systems, implementations, ortechnical requirements.This report does not reflect a government position or endorse a particular type of LMRnetwork architecture.
