Massachusetts State Police SmartZone 05

The Greater Boston SmartZone covers the MSP Troop A and Troop H patrol areas. It started as a three site system (Boston, Arlington, and Canton) used by the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) and the Mass Water Resources Authority (MWRA). In the early 1990's, a good portion of the MDC was absorbed by the State Police, and the State Police acquired the trunking system. Since then, the State Police have gone on to add many more sites to the system, and integrate it into the statewide system.

Troop A/H Site Locations

The Troop A/H system has a total of nine simulcast sites and are operating under the callsigns WNMJ500 and WPFF425 from the following locations:
Arlington (Turkey Hill), Boston (One Ashburton Pl), Canton (Blue Hills)
Andover (Holt Hill), Chelmsford (Robbins Hill), Essex (Morse Hill), Framingham (Nobscott Hill), Georgetown (Long Hill), and Wrentham (RT 1).

In addition to these sites, there is a single site inside the Ted Williams Tunnel (SmartZone 2), and another site inside the extension of the Mass Turnpike connecting to the Ted Williams Tunnel (SmartZone 21). There is also another simulcast system that covers the immediate Boston area (SmartZone 1) which is used primarily by the MDC, MWRA, and Central Artery Tunnel Project.

All sites are shown on the map below:
