P25 Trunking Systems List January 2024

Thanks to Ken Brown for his continued updates on this database.

The P25 Trunking Systems List was last published in January 2023 with 1,218 Systems
The new January 2024 list shows an additional 15 systems with 6 systems merging into larger networks for a net gain of 21 systems.

Total of 1233 P25 Trunking Systems.

When this total is added to PTIG’s separate list of 2,387 P25 Conventional Systems…

Grand total for P25 Trunked and Conventional stands at 3,620 known P25 Systems worldwide.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in collaberation with the Federal Partnership for Interoperable Communications (FPIC) published the Transition to Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) white paper on October 27th.

FPIC P25 Transition to AES Encryption White Paper

An excerpt form the FPIC Whitepaper is below

Encryption is the primary means for protecting the confidentiality and providing authentication of sensitive land mobile radio (LMR) voice and data communications. In 2001, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as the new recommendation for encryption for all federal departments and agencies. In 2005, NIST withdrew its approval of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and incorporated AES as the new encryption algorithm under the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). However, 18 years later, law enforcement and public safety agencies across all levels of government continue to use DES—a compromised and insecure encryption algorithm.

Most federal agencies have implemented, and are actively using AES for all LMR transactions, but budgetary constraints for many non-federal departments and agencies have continually inhibited the timely and necessary transition to AES.

The transition to AES encryption is the only solution that would provide a lowest common denominator of available interoperable encryption for LMR voice and data communications for all public safety entities at all levels of government.

Prism-IPX designs versatile and robust Critical Message Management systems using paging and other wireless technologies for high performance and dependable communications. They have launched two new P25 Derivative products that are essential for Counties to fully migrate their critical communications from the aging Analog Networks to the new P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 systems.

These affordable solutions include P25 Warning Siren Control Boards, as well as a P25 Fire Station Alerting unit. These products will allow Counties to finally realize the cost savings of taking down their analog systems and migrating to a single P25 Network for all their Public Safety Communications needs.

 P25 Fire Station Alerting

• Allows you to alert your fire stations utilizing your P25 Network.
• It can also be upgraded to use Analog, LTE and IP networks.
• The FSA offers 8 Relays to allow you to open doors, turn on lights among other possibilities at the Fire Stations. 
• Listen to your alerts & P25 Fire Grounds throughout the station    

P25 Warning Siren Controller 

• Allows you to alert your warning sirens utilizing your P25 Network.
• It can also be upgraded to use Analog, LTE and IP networks.
• Allows for easy migration and redundancy.
