That being said, there will be no new tower construction. There are plans to enhance that site and add equipment that will double it's capacity. This enhancement is not something that is needed immediatly, but rather forcasting for future growth. The County remains committed to the mission of upgrades and enhancements to continually better the system’s infrastructure. <br /><br />In the month of October Ship Cell only saw 9% of site use for forward calls (Calls to the sites from the radios.) and less than 1% use for reverse calls (site to radio). So though the number of PTT’s may seem high, they are not an accurate source for determining site capacity. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Site Utilization (Percentage of Site Use) October 2009<br /><br /><br /><br />Lambs Gap- 9.61% Forward 3.29% Reverse<br /><br />Reesers Summit- 10.95% Forward 4.19% Reverse<br /><br />EOC- 8.56% Forward 1.98% Reverse<br /><br />Courthouse- 10.08% Forward .76% Reverse<br /><br />Commonwealth Technology Center- 8.79% Forward .45% Reverse<br /><br />3 Square Hollow- 7.32% Forward .45% Reverse<br /><br />Ship Cell- 8.63% Forward .47% Reverse<br /><br />South Mountain- 6.68% Forward .26% Reverse<br /><br />Waggoners Gap- 7.54% Forward .32% Reverse<br /><br />Rose Garden- 6.82% Forward .31% Reverse<br /><br />Boiling Springs- 7.02% Forward .16% Reverse<br /><br />Shippensburg- 6.01% Forward .34% Reverse<br /><br />Dickinson Twp- 5.84% Forward .51% Reverse<br /><br />Holy Spirit- 5.91% Forward .21% Reverse<br /><br />Kings Gap- 4.53% Forward .51% Reverse<br /><br />Pine Grove- 3.56% Forward 0% ReverseCumberland County DPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824295419080428764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164875043705846842.post-66507020452629626512009-11-06T02:16:50.690-05:002009-11-06T02:16:50.690-05:00Ship Cell- 125,337 calls, if this cell site has ha...Ship Cell- 125,337 calls, if this cell site has had this many ptt's for the month of Oct.

A queued tone means the tower site providing you signal has no talk paths available, and then it does return a grant tone to notify the user of an available path.<br /><br />When you get a deny tone, you have no coverage either by the network or from a VTAC or someone else is already transmitting on that talk group. Your transmission attempt never reaches the system and therefore is not recognized or tracked by the system. The deny and queue features are just two of the benefits to this system, with the old radio system, you had no way of knowing if your radio transmission was being received. <br /><br />These different tones created by the radios can be found at <br />http://pa-cumberlandcounty.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=2651Cumberland County DPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824295419080428764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164875043705846842.post-13309549061038510342009-11-05T12:52:08.313-05:002009-11-05T12:52:08.313-05:00It is interesting that there were no queued calls ...It is interesting that there were no queued calls this month, but has the denied tones decreased by the user's in the field?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
