From The RadioReference Wiki
The State of Kansas is currently in the build-out stage of an 800 MHz. APCO Project-25 trunked digital radio system. The system has been named the Kansas Statewide Interoperable Communications System or "KSICS". About 2/3 of the state is currently covered by the digital system. Not limited to only State Agencies, numerous County and City Law Enforcement, Emergency Management, Fire, and EMS agencies have entered into agreements to use the system or at least have access in some part.
The system has capabilities to carry both voice and data over a wide area trunked network with microwave radio and hardened fiber-optic links to the various sites. Some "county-wide" sub-nets on the system use simulcast tower sites to theoretically give "Basement level HT" coverage over a majority of a county covering several hundred square miles. Additionally, the Interstate Highway System consisting of; I-35, I-70, I-135, the Ks Turnpike, and numerous two and four lane US Highways offer border to border coverage on this system.
