As the Recovery gains momentum throughout the United States, we have seen the welcome sign of increased activity from many segments within the sphere of public safety communications. 800MHz Rebanding projects are moving well through the actual implementation stage. For example, TCS recently concluded coverage testing for St Tammany's rebanded EDACS trunked radio network. Subscriber user programming has been competed for Harrison County, Mississippi and deployment of a new EDACS simulcast network is nearing the halfway point for Pasco County, Florida. And many more 800MHz rebanding projects are gaining traction and heading toward completion.

In this recently concluded quarter, TCS has secured several new, important communications projects. TCS was been awarded a contract to assist the City of New Bern, North Carolina and its procurement and implementation of a Project-25 simulcast radio network. We were selected by the City of Jacksonville to evaluate P-25 vendor proposal submittals and by the City of Fort Lauderdale to assess an unsolicited radio modernization proposal. And, we are pleased to report that TCS was selected by Gordon County, Georgia to assist in their development of FCC-compliant narrowband solutions and ultimately the implementation of a 700/800MHz Project-25 simulcast radio network.

A major new system implementation for Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO) is well underway. Factory staging of KCMO's expansive nine-site, 24-channel simulcast trunked radio network (one that will serve over 7,000 radio users) has been successfully concluded and construction of three new tower sites is scheduled to commence in mid November. Along those same lines, TCS was selected by Cass County, Missouri to complete a needs assessment for their eventual deployment of an advanced digital radio network.

In closing out this Quarter's Report, TCS was selected by ShipCom - a provider of maritime radio services - as their public safety radio communications consultant. ShipCom had been granted an FCC Rule Waiver whereby high frequency (HF) voice and electronic mail services can now be provided to emergency operations centers, facilities and personnel. Much more information on ShipCom and this new life-safety service can be found in the current issue of the Backscatter Journal, our web magazine.

As we enter the fourth quarter of a very challenging year, on behalf of the firm's entire consultant team we thank our many clients and friends for their steadfast support and encouragement.
