It appears as though this system is comprised sites operated by various radio shops, with IP connections between them and sharing of the 289 System ID.
- Deltacomm ( http://www.deltacommllc.com )

As of 8-24-2018, MIDCOM's website states that in 2014 they started with one or more sites in Muskegon Co and then added additional sites in Ottawa and Oceana counties. The site also says that in 2015 they linked their system with systems of other NEXEDGE dealers in MI to expand coverage to Grand Rapids, Lansing, Detroit, Southfield and Pine Knob and southward to Toledo.
Smart-Link Systems appears to be one of the partners, providing System 289 coverage into NWOH, with sites 11 through 15 (at least) believed to be Smart-Link sites in Ohio. See map of Smart-Link licenses - https://goo.gl/xxsoJ4
NOTE: Do not attempt to use any sort of default bandplan to calculate LCNs on this system. It is totally unreliable as the administrators of the system appear to have assigned unique LCNs per their own desire rather than use a standardized bandplan.
