ALBANY
M/A-COM, a division of Tyco Electronics, was chosen in 2004 to
build wireless transmission towers to allow police officers,
firefighters and other emergency personnel to communicate
statewide, starting with test projects in Erie and Chautauqua
counties.
State officials say faults include equipment failures,
unreliable emergency call modes, inconsistent in-building coverage,
inadequate network reliability and a failure to present a
systematic plan for linking existing radio systems.
Calls to M/A-COM were not immediately returned.
