One of the world’s largest urban fire and rescue services, Fire & Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is made up of more than 6,800 fire fighters, 7,000 community fire-unit members, and 400 administrative and trades staff. It is one of the key agencies involved in most emergency or disaster events throughout the state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. FRNSW operates more than 120 radio sites across the state—mostly in remote country areas, but also covering all major urban centers.

FRNSW engaged with Tait Communications to commence its digital migration program following a technology evaluation, beginning with a pilot network that needed to be deployed before the next bushfire season. Tait Project Manager, Mark Cahill, says, “Implementing pilot networks are an excellent way to reduce business risk as agencies are in a better position to properly assess the technology required before approaching any change.”
Tait与FRNSW密切合作，进行高级设计和移民研讨会，以确保其要求和约束很好地了解。因此，在短短43个工作日内，捷径在新南威尔士州的蒙诺罗地区（雪山）设计并实施了七个网站试点网络，整合了各种合作伙伴产品，包括Mimomax链接，以获得定制的解决方案。
TAIT P25基础设施需要在每个站点上最小的链接带宽和最小的物理空间，这代表了物有所值。当在远程区域地区实施网络时，这尤其重要，因为塔楼和建筑物可能是非常基本的;TAIT P25基础设施允许各机构将其投资重点放在网络本身，而不是砖和钢材。
Together, Tait and MiMOMax allowed FRNSW to achieve the bandwidth and reliability needed to roll out P25 across the challenging terrain of its territory. This solved the greatest concern over the ability to achieve the linking required without burdening sites with microwave dishes.
“The Tait and MiMOMax solution allowed FRNSW to leverage its internal knowledge of traditional UHF linking without sacrificing most of the benefits that microwave links provide. Without the MiMOMax links, FRNSW is very unlikely to have proceeded to pilot & wide area roll-out,” said Richard Cerveny, Radio Network Architect at FRNSW.
遵循部署在蒙诺罗地区的七个站点的试点阶段（阶段），捷豹与FRNSW密切合作，由于部署了FRNSW的另一个六个地区（60个站点），并为NSW状态（42个站点）紧急服务（SES）。这些网站遍布整个国家，包括一个站点的黑点修复，并按时间表完成。完成以来，与模拟相比，新网站的覆盖率大约有20％的提高，具有更好的音频。
“除了具有较少故障的新数字网络时，我们现在可以有能力监控网络并报告我们的服务水平，这导致了我们的消防员提供了更好的服务，”项目赞助商和主任Paul Barnes表示它在frnsw的运营和通信。“由于与扦列的密切工作关系，我们能够以在FRNSW和SE之间实现超过100万美元的储蓄的方式完成该项目。”
