Exisiting VHF operations are for maintenance, towing & interop with local FD & EMS agencies.
As of 2022, PTC is working to migrate their voice comms over to an L3Harris BeOn LTE PTT system with FirstNet & Verizon.
VHF towers will be maintained for fire/EMS interop until other solutions are implemented.
PSP Troop T units have migrated to the PA-STARNet P25 system and are encrypted.
