The Challenges of CoordinationDuring a Critical
Incident
Make it Happen

Definition

• Interoperability is the ability of public safety
  service and support providers to communicate with
  each other via voice and/or data
• On demand
• In real time
• When needed
• When authorized

Project 25

• The FY05 HSGP guidance "encourages" applicants to
  purchase equipment that meets public safety
  standards, including Project 25. At a minimum,
  public safety land mobile radio equipment
  purchased with Federal homeland security grants
  should support use of the Common Air Interface,
  which is the most mature interface in the
  Project. ICTAP recommends that urban areas make
  efforts to ensure equipment that is procured will
  support the ISSI with minimal upgrades.

LETPP Solution

• Interoperable Communications System that when
  implemented
• Uses existing Radio Frequency infrastructure
• Achieves on demand interoperability through
  overlay additions to the current RF
  infrastructure IP network backbone, IP network
  components and Mobile Communication Units
• Provides flexibility and scalability
• Achieves functionality in area covering 75 of
  state population with fixed communications
  assets functionality in remaining 25 with
  mobile communication assets
• Can be implemented within 8M budget
• Can be completed within two year time frame
• Can be managed effectively with three working
  groups Task Force Requirements Analysis Group,
  Technical Working Group, Operations Working Group

Motorola MOTOBridge

• Comprised of 4 basic components
• Operational Management Control (OMC) Server
• Keeps track of network configuration and is used
  to manage entire system
• Two redundant systems (main and backup)
• Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) Server
• Sets up calls on the system
• Two redundant systems (main and backup)
• Radio Gateway Unit (RGU)
• Connects the radio systems into the network
• Resides in every jurisdiction (usually in
  communications center)
• Work Station Gateway Unit (WSGU)
• Gives dispatcher access to the system
• Resides in every jurisdiction (usually in
  communications center)

  events
• State Agencies
• Centralized broadcast, remote monitoring
  statewide in major event situations
• Selective dispatch center conferencing statewide
• Dispatch consolidation
• All
• Participate in first statewide interoperable
  communications project
• Help create a model for future state wide
  interoperable communication projects involving
  multiple local and state government agencies

Methodology for PSAP Design
29
Design Related Activities

• Site Walk by GTRI
• Survey current power, data connectivity, space,
  and radio systems in use
• Identify space, power, rack requirements, data
  connectivity and schedule required for LETPP
• Understand operations
• Agencies dispatched
• Determine interfaces for Radio Gateway Unit (RGU)
• Needs driven
• Introduce Agency Interoperability Matrix (AIM)
• PSAP staff internalization of interoperable needs
  through AIM completion

Workshop Process

• Complete the Agency Interoperability Matrix (AIM)
• Identify Interoperability that can be satisfied
  by the WSGU in your Dispatch Center i.e.,
  conferencing, remote dispatch, etc.
• Identify Interoperability that can be satisfied
  by RGU in your Dispatch Center
• Rank in order of needs the interoperability
  satisfied by the RGU in 3.
• Identify the type of radio resource that must be
  interfaced to the RGU to satisfy each need
  identified in 4 (also 3)
• Assign the type of resource to each of the ports
  of the RGU i.e., VHF, 800, iDEN, etc.
• Identify the radio resource for each port i.e.,
  control station, base station, BIM, i90 handset,
  etc.
• Identify the source (provider) of each radio
  resource
• Do a sanity check on the AIM

• National Priority Strengthen Interoperable
  Communications Capabilities
• Identify decision-making processes and
  the integration of after-action reports.
• Address interoperable communications
  issues across all elements of the
  interoperability continuum. The DHS Strategy
  Review Board acknowledges that the strategy
  clearly references standard operating procedures
  and technology acquisitions, but recommends that
  the strategy include discussion of governance,
  training/exercises, and usage of interoperable
  communications.
