The state of Nebraska, has signed a contract with Motorola, Inc. of Schaumburg, Illinois, to construct a statewide Project 25 IP trunked radio system. Known as the "Nebraska Land Mobile Radio System," this new statewide network will allows all federal, state, county, and local public safety first responders to intercommunicate on a common interoperable platform. The first phase of this system is expected to be completed in late 2009, or the spring of 2010. When finished, the Nebraska Land Mobile Radio System, will allow end-to-end, mission-critical communications across the state, which is essential during any crisis or large-scale disaster.
