Motorola today announced that the City of San Francisco has selected it to build a Long Term Evolution network in the 700MHz band that will be used for the municipality's public safety agencies. The LTE network will cover portions of the Bay Area, including San Francisco, Alameda County/Oakland, Contra Costa County, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale as part of the Bay Area Regional Interoperable Communications System (BayRICS) plan. The build-out will begin this year and the network should be operation by early 2011. According to Motorola, the first phase will include 10 LTE sites and 330 LTE-capable modems to be used for network access. The LTE network will overlay the existing Project 25 network.
