In our center we don't use cell phone coverage for our ODS and DIAD downloads--we actually have our own radio frequency. I believe it is a low FM frequency and, from what I have been told, the only expense was the initial set up costs. Perhaps DIAD Dude can expand on this.
How is everything in Plattsburgh?? Is Roger playing nice with others??I don't mean to be argumentative, but I do know for a fact that we have our own radio frequency for ODS and DIAD downloads. I have seen the certification statement showing the frequency, which is a low FM frequency. Our messages both send and receive much, much faster than they used to and our rural drivers get their messages much faster than they used to. I can send and receive 3-4 messages within 2-3 minutes, provided the OMS is at her computer, which was unheard of back in the cell phone days.
I know what you are referring to as far as Wi-Fi in the bldg. This is different. This is on the road communication between the bldg and our DIADs and I know that we use radio frequency, not cell. I know this because they used to bitch about how much each message costs--they don't say a word anymore. My SLIC is 1290. Feel free to check it our for yourself.

Upstate:
I know that you are not being argumentative. I'm not either.
My understanding is that we have two flavors of DIAD's for communicating.
One uses GPRS. The other uses CDMA. Maybe DIAD Dude can clarify, but I didn't think there was a third (except for very few that use bluetooth to talk with a cell phone.).
I'll wait and see what he says...
