Fleetnet Towers and Talkgroups


Use this article to describe and detail the Ontario Fleetnet system.

[edit] Hamilton Fleetnet Tower

Location: This tower is located in the city of Hamilton in the downtown core on Charlton Street, near St Joseph Hospital on top of one of the cities tallest buildings.

Coverage: To the east it is strong along the QEW until the Oakville/Burlington border using a rubber duck. You might want to switch to Welland/Fonthill or Mississauga in these areas. To the north this tower works well in Flamborough but a switch to either of Guelph’s towers is in order in the further northern regions of the city.

This tower works well along the QEW thru Grimsby but drops off shortly thereafter, switch to Welland/Fonthill at this point.
