Excerpt from the Mission Critical April May Utilities article:
“Many electric utilities are integrating P25-compliant technology into their radio systems. P25, a mature digital radio standard in use for 25 years, has not remained static. As the session initiation protocol (SIP) and real-time transport protocol (RTP) world of IP signaling evolved, P25 followed suit with the introduction of the Inter RF Subsystem Interface (ISSI), a network-tonetwork interface, and the Console Subsystem Interface (CSSI), a standard interface for connecting thirdparty consoles to the radio network. These interfaces offer customer choice and competition among multiple P25 suppliers.
After 25 years of evolution, P25’s array of supplementary services and features is extensive. P25 is flexible and versatile, allowing manufacturers to add features such as man-down emergency call, transmit-and-receive cycling and request-to-talk (RTT) callback, a feature commonly used in the utility industry. While RTT is not defined within the P25 standard, both the CSSI and Common Air Interface (CAI) are flexible enough to introduce the signaling required to support it in both the consoles and radio terminals.”
David Deacon is founder and CEO of Etherstack. During the past 20 years, Etherstack has developed and licensed LMR technologies in Project 25 (P25), TETRA, Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) and NXDN to manufacturers around the world

Project 25 Technology Interest Group Publishes New P25 System Lists
New Updated P25 Systems Lists for March 2017 are now available on the Project25.org website. There are updated lists for both P25 Trunking Systems and P25 Conventional Systems.
Thanks to Ken Brown for his work as the primary author for these documents.
Since the lists were last published in June of 2016:
The P25 Trunking Systems list has 84 new systems added.
The P25 Conventional List has 35 new systems added.
Both lists are organized by State or territory. Systems are included for the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The data for each system includes Location, System Name, System type, P25 Phase 1 or P25 Phase 2, and the frequency band or bands used in the system.
