Radio Frequency Coverage
 |
The operational coverage map shows the current radio frequency (RF) coverage predicted for the network as of 5/18/2012.
Within each county, percentages are given for both landmass (L) and roadway (R) coverage.
Green = 95–100% Blue = 90–94.9%

The design coverage map shows the radio frequency (RF) coverage predicted when the current operational system is augmented by resources that are scheduled to be deployed soon, current as of 5/18/2012.
Within each county, percentages are given for both landmass (L) and roadway (R) coverage.
Green = 95–100% Blue = 90–94.9%

County Interoperable Communications
 |
The county interoperable communications map shows the method of connection from county public safety radio systems to PA-STARNet. Four methods of communication are supported:
- Standalone Control Station: Fixed-location RF-based subscriber unit for communication using PA-STARNet
- Integrated Control Station: Fixed-location RF-based subscriber unit integrated with local radio systems through connection to a dispatch console
- NetworkFirst Gateway: Interconnection of PA-STARNet and local radio systems using Harris Corporation NetworkFirst gateway technology for translation of signals between the interconnected systems
- Internetworking: Interconnection of PA-STARNet and local radio systems preserving full system function, possible only when the connected systems use the same Harris Corporation OpenSky technology that PA-STARNet uses

PA-STARNet Regions
 |
The PA-STARNet regions map shows the seven independent regional networks that the statwide network is divided into. The regional design increases network efficiency, resilience, availability, and manageability. Each region has its own regional operations center (ROC). The regions are interconnected and controlled from network operations centers (NOCs) that allow monitoring and managment of the whole network. |
