Regional Mobile Radio (RMR)

Towards the end of June 2013 the first two Digital VHF P25 trunking sites were switched on for the new Regional Mobile Radio Network (RMR) that will become the primary communications system for contacting fire dispatchers used by the Country Fire Authority (CFA) in Victoria. Augmenting its older analogue VHF network the RMR network is being used for incident dispatching and emergency communications with state wide fire dispatchers with the older analogue VHF network being slowly decommissioned or re-purposed and analogue simplex radio communications being used for local and fireground radio communications.
