| APCO is seeking comments for the candidate American National Standard (ANS) titled 700 MHz Deployable Public Safety Trunking Systems. This standard expands on best practices developed by the National Regional Planning Council (NRPC) and covers both the provisioning of deployable trunked radio systems and the programming of subscriber equipment when providing mutual aid. The public may review and comment on this candidate standard from July 23 through September 6 via the APCO website. For questions, email standards@apcointl.org or contact (888) 272-6911. Learn more
