Considering these cell-site simulators are often used at protests this seems like a recipe for disaster. What happens when another person is shot[1] at a protest and there's no way to call 911?

- betterunix2 8y agoI imagine the police would use their radios to call for help, if there are not already paramedics standing by.
- StudentStuff 8y agoWho says their legacy, TDMA based radio networks are properly functioning? Motorola has sold most US municipalities and business clients hot garbage for radio networks, they can't push high call volumes, and your often limited by crosstalk (other people trying to talk on your channel) and the number of operators on staff. They literally revert to playing clear the channel tones for a solid minute multiple times a day. Its awful! The current emergency responder trunked radio networks are extremely fragile, shitty systems. I have no hope that the transmitter at Columbia Tower in Seattle will be of any use to emergency personnel after a major event. Too few channels available, not enough staff to route and handle the channels we do have either.
