MARITIME RADIO COMMUNICATIONS INITIATIVE (MRCI)

last revision Dec 4, 2023

This is an historical retrospective on the Maritimes Radio Communications Initiative. This was a system that was envisioned, planned, and partially built, but never put into operation.  At the time, very little information was released to the public and therefore much of the commentary here is speculative in nature.  It can be characterized as common-sense observation and conclusions based on bits and pieces of information, but the site list is a real one from that era.

Near the close of the first decade of the 2000's the TMR (Trunked Mobile Radio System) in Nova Scotia (now referred to as TMR1), operated by Bell for the province, was coming to the end of its contracted life.   The province of Nova Scotia was therefore weighing options going forward, as there was no necessity to continue with Bell.  During this time period, the adjacent provinces, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, had continued with their conventional systems but noting the greatly enhanced interoperability provided in the Nova Scotia system.  

The province of Nova Scotia (PNS) began to consider alternatives to simply renewing the contract with Bell, and one of those options was to build, own and operate its own trunk radio system.   The other two provinces were also interested in establishing or having a trunk system as well, and preferably one that was similar to the Nova Scotia one.    I am sure that the path to a solution. was a long one, filled with financial and technical research and a great deal of provincial and interprovincial consultation and negotiation.   The result of this was the Maritimes Radio Communications Initiative.

MRCI was a proposal to establish a new 700 MHz trunked radio system to cover all three provinces and to be owned and operated by a tri-province crown corporation. This corporation was at least proposed, and perhaps actually established, called the Maritime Provinces Company.    This joint ownership would allow for interoperability across the region, and as well bring cost-benefits in the acquisition of equipment and services.

An agreement to proceed was reached, with an aim to be at least partly in operation by 2014.     It was not necessarily envisaged that all three provincial components would go into operation at the same time.  Depending on province and on specific location there would be links to existing or future conventional repeaters and/or pagers that operate on VHF or on 400 MHz UHF.    It may be that these links would enable some of the existing networks to continue to operate for some time yet be linked to the new system.   For example, it did seem apparent that the New Brunswick VHF/UHF government systems would continue to operate and exist side by side with the new system, at least temporarily.   It was speculated that some or all sites in the Maritimes would have co-located VHF capability on the 700 MHz tower, and available to various public service users such as VFD pagers and repeaters.

Requests for bids were circulated in the engineering and construction industries and therefore a protected list of sites and needs for each site was one of the first necessities.  I am do not know if this list was prepared in-house or by engineering consultants, but nevertheless it was circulated as a part of the bidding process.  The list of sites as seen on-line became public either intentionally or inadvertently available via searching on the web.   There were likely variations of the list but shown here is the version I discovered online.  There is no date, but this is thought to be from perhaps 2009 or thereabouts. This year estimate might be inaccurate.  With the leak of documentation provided to industry, it came to be known that for Nova Scotia there would be a system of around 80 sites.    This would include utilizing the 25+ already existing NSIMRS sites, plus a combination of sites owned by other governmental entities, NS Power, and brand new sites on purchased land.  It did seem clear that very few, if any, Bell Aliant (Bell Mobility) sites would be used in the Nova Scotia portion of the system.

Due to the hilly nature of New Brunswick, it would have had more than 100 sites.   The New Brunswick government already owned or used a large number of sites for its conventional Natural Resources, EMO/GSS, Ambulance and Transportation networks plus others, and most would become MRCI sites unless they were on each other's doorsteps.    A significant number of the existing provincial sites were Bell-owned and unlike in Nova Scotia, they would continue to be used.

PEI was expected to have approximately 15 sites, which is surprising for such a low-lying and small area.   

MRCI was cancelled in March 2012.  There did not seem to be second thoughts regarding the usefulness of the MRCI, but rather a concern over its expense, as compared to other avenues.    Ultimately the result was the establishment of a similar system to be owned and operated by Bell under contract to the three provinces.

By the time of the cancellation, some physical work had been done in Nova Scotia, including the acquisition of land for some new towers, and as well the actual construction of some of them, which all still exist, and in some cases are incorporated into the TMR2 system that operates today.   It is thought that no work of this sort happened at all in the other two provinces.

The lists shown here were not provided officially or by any provincial employee, and therefore may contain errors, and as well there were likely changes over time.

NOVA SCOTIA

·         Notes in brackets following the site name indicate the site owner.  Most are self-explanatory.   Prop VC# indicates the proposed number of voice channels to be installed.  It is not known if this included the alternate control channel.

Sites shown in green were already existing NS Government sites housing the legacy NSIMRS VHF system.  Sites in yellow were newly acquired sites at which new towers were built prior to the termination of MRCI.  These towers remain today as provincial government towers,but not as part of the TMR2 network.  The pink site, Corberrie, was built in anticipation of MRCI, but ultimately did become part of TMR2.  Sites in orange are thought to be ones with previously existing towers that were purchased by the government for MRCI, but ultimately did not become part of TMR2, and remain as part of the "new" NSIMRS.    Sites in blue are those that belonged to other parties, and did ultimately become used for TMR2.   This colour coding is incomplete, due to lack of information.  While many of the sites left in white did not get used for the terminated MRCI or for TMR2, some of them likely did, as these have names similar to site names in the TMR2 system, and some of them would more correctly receive the yellow or blue colour.    So the message here is that, other than the green, the colour coding is quite rough, and could be erroneous.

This list is arranged by region, beginning with Bathurst.   I have not had the time and inclination to correlate this list with the modern TMR2 and existing NB government conventional networks, therefore there is no colour coding.
