The Maritime Public Safety Radio Network is a 218 site, 700 MHz Project 25 trunking system covering the provinces of Nova Scotia (NS), Prince Edward Island (PE) and New Brunswick (NB). It replaces the 800 MHz Motorola trunking systems, the Aliant Trunked Mobile Radio System (Motorola 800MHz) in NS and Fredericton, NB, the Provincial Integrated Communications System (PICS) in PEI, the Moncton Public Safety and Saint John Public Safety in NB, as well as numerous conventional VHF and UHF systems across the region.

NS Fire services
The province has provided a number of TMR-2 radios to all volunteer fire departments (VFDs) across the province, to enhance interoperability. In addition, the TMR-2 VFD fleetmap has been significantly expanded (compared to the TMR-1 VFD fleetmap) and now features 56 operations talkgroups and 8 dispatching talkgroups. The usage of these talkgroups is explained below. Please see the database for talkgroup IDs.
Note that Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency has their own fleetmap separate from this, however they do have some of the ops channels in their radios for mutual aid purposes
The VFD fleetmap is divided into four regions; south, west, north and east. Each region has two dispatch talkgroups, A and B, which are assigned as follows:
- South dispatch A - Lunenburg and Queens counties
- South dispatch B - Shelburne and Yarmouth counties
- West dispatch A - Annapolis, Kings and west Hants counties
- West dispatch B - Digby county
- North dispatch A - Cumberland, Colchester and east Hants counties
- North dispatch B - Pictou county
- East dispatch A - Antigonish, Guysborough, Inverness, Victoria and Richmond counties
- East dispatch B - Cape Breton Regional Municipality
Operations talkgroups are assigned by the various dispatching agencies across the province, with each dispatch agency having "control" over certain ops talkgroups as follows:
- Scotia Business Centre - OPS 1-5
- Valley Dispatch - OPS 6, 8-10, 15-23, 29-35
- Digby Dispatch - OPS 11-14, 25-28
- Truro fire - OPS 36
- Amherst fire - OPS 37
- New Glasgow police - OPS 38
- Stellarton police - OPS 41-42
- Canso Dispatch - OPS 43-48
- Shubie Radio - OPS 49-50
- Cape Breton Regional Municipality - OPS 52-56
- Halifax Regional Fire (for mutual aid only) - OPS 7, 24, 39-40, 51
The four "HFX-IES" talkgroups are so far only used by the two stations that are dispatched by HRM IES (fire dispatch) Enfield and Mount Uniacke fire departments, to contact IES.
