Looks like you can expect to hear even less radio traffic from DHS and CBP.

OuterLink Corporation, a satellite-based mobile asset management
solutions provider, today announced that the United States Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) has accepted delivery of 22 complete
OuterLink mobile asset management systems and 5 spare CP-3i satcom
terminal platforms. DHS will deploy the OuterLink solution on U.S.
Customs & Border Protection agency aircraft.

OuterLink satellite-based mobile asset management solutions offer
secure, real-time air, ground and marine vehicle tracking and two-way
voice and data communications between a Command Center and vehicle
operators. OuterLink CommTrack software enables multiple agencies to
coordinate the dispatch of all mobile assets by providing a
centralized view of vehicles (with OuterLink on board) across multiple
agencies. This ability to "see" all mobile assets increases safety,
improves response capabilities and overall coordination across
disparate federal, state and local agencies.

OuterLink can provide:

Real-time two-way communication
Secure Digital Spread Spectrum transmissions
30 second standard updates for aviation market
Send and receive messages to one or more field assets
Status of assets including latitude, longitude, estimated speed and alarms
Poll asset's current location and status
Automatic "message received" acknowledgment sent when incoming message
is received
Visual and audible alarms for Mayday, Emergency Response System and
optional Missed Report alarms
