| − | This system covers both the provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and is known by different names in each location:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Nova Scotia: Trunked Mobile Radio 2 (TMR-2)
| |
| − | * Prince Edward Island: Provincial Integrated Communications System 2 (PICS-2)
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this article it may be referred to as the TMR-2 in relation to NS usage, PICS-2 in relation to PEI usage, or as the generic NS-PEI P25 system.

| − | ==Description==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The NS-PEI P25 is an 87-site 700 MHz Project 25 trunking system covering the provinces of Nova Scotia (NS) and Prince Edward Island (PEI). It replaces two 800 MHz Motorola trunking systems, the [[Aliant Trunked Mobile Radio System (TMRS)]] in NS, and the [[Provincial Integrated Communications System (PICS)]] in PEI. Unlike the 800 MHz systems, commercial users such as delivery companies or waste collection, are not be permitted on the P25 system; it is restricted to emergency services and government operations only.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As of the summer of 2015, the system is entirely operational in Nova Scotia and many government agencies have switched, or are in the process of switching to this system. The system is just beginning to come online in Prince Edward Island.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Sites==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The P25 system consists of 86 sites plus one mobile site, giving significantly improved coverage in areas of the province which had poor coverage previously.

| − | 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
| |
