Basic Rebanding Message

• Interference has been a serious problem for 800
  MHz Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure
  communications
• FCC spent 2 1/2 years studying problem with 10s
  of thousands of pages of comments
• Report and Order was designed to reduce PS
  interference
• If you are impacted, it is mandatory--you cant
  get out of it
• All costs are covered
• Motorola is here to help you through the process
  and provide the absolute minimum disruption to
  your operation

Impacts to Subscribers and Infrastructure
4
Motorolas System Categories System impact falls
into 4 categories based upon channels used

• A Channels in first 120 only (806.0125/851.01
  25 808.9875/853.9875)
• No NPSPAC 821-824 Channels at all
• B Channels in NPSPAC only (821.0125/866.0125
  823.9875/868.9875)
• No Channels in 806-809 General Category
• C Channels in NPSPAC and first 120 / Expansion
• D Channels in Interleaved spectrum
  (809.0125/854.0125 815.9875/860.9875)
• No NPSPAC 821-824 Channels at all
• No 806-809 General Category Channels

Note Expansion Band PS will move, unless they
opt to stay
5
Retune/Reprogram/Update/Replace Definitions

• Retune Updating the channel frequencies via the
  Customer Programming Software/Radio Service
  Software programming software
• Reprogram Updating operating software via
  software FLASH with new frequencies band plan
• Update One or more boards must be replaced in
  the equipment to enable retuning or reprogramming
• Replace Cannot be updated to support new
  frequencies or band plans

6
Subscriber Impact -- Category A Channels in
first 120 only

• System with channels from 851.0125 /
  806.0125 to 853.9875 / 808.9875
• Relocates to channels from 854.0125 /
  809.0125 to 861.9875 / 816.9875
• Does not have any NPSPAC channels including
  Mutual Aid programmed in radio
• Equipment impact
• Radio units can be retuned to new frequencies
• Radios in red are class B IM protection. Motorola
  recommends replacing those units for better
  interference protection after rebanding
• Costs to replace radios that can be
  retuned or reprogrammed will be the
  responsibility of the licensee

7
Subscriber Impact -- Category B Channels in
NPSPAC only

• System with NPSPAC channels from
  866.0125/821.0125 to 868.9875/823.9875
• Relocates to rechanneled 851.0125/806.0125
  853.9875/808.9875
• 821/866-824/869 MHz must be reflashed with new
  radio software to operate in 806/851-809/854 MHz
• All radios must be retuned. The radios must be
  reprogrammed with a new RSS/CPS programming
  software to support new channels

Subscriber Impact -- Category C Both NPSPAC
first 120 Channels

• System with NPSPAC channels from 866.0125 /
  821.0125 to 868.9875 / 823.9875 and channels from
  851.0125 / 806.0125 to 853.9875 / 808.9875
• May be a multi-step process
• First Relocation from lower 120 (851.0125 /
  806.0125 to 853.9875 / 808.9875) is retune only
• Second Relocation to rechanneled
  851.0125/806.0125 853.9875/806.9875 is
  Reprogram and/or Replace
• All radios with NPSPAC channels must be
  re-flashed with new radio software to operate in
  new NPSPAC channels (806/851 - 809/854 MHz)
• All radios must be retuned. Radios must be
  reprogrammed with a new RSS/CPS programming
  software to support new channels

Subscriber Impact -- Category D Channels in
Interleaved spectrum

• System with channels from 854.0125 / 809.0125
  860.9875 / 815.9875 only
• At this time, no impact
• However,
• Public Safety licensees in new Expansion band
  channels 860.0125 / 815.0125 to 860.9875 /
  815.9875 can relocate if desired to frequencies
  below 809-815 / 854-860 MHz.
• Project only requires retuning for those who move
  out of Expansion Band

Subscriber Summary

• If system is 806-816 MHZ only it is a Retune
• If subscriber has any NPSPAC trunking channels,
  use replacement radio chart
• Be sure youve checked your interoperability
  plans
• Rebanding radios are driven by 3 factors
• Display
• Encryption
• Number of channels
• Accessories will be swapped on 1 for 1 basis

Software Development and Certification Effort For
Fielded Units

• New channel assignment required to move NPSPAC to
  lower part of band
• Channel Spacing in 806-809 changes with new band
  plan
• Channel number to frequency translation must
  change
• Control channel list has been increased to allow
  old and new assignments
• Failsoft channel list has been increased to allow
  old and new assignments
• New plan allows radios to work on either upgraded
  or not upgraded site
• Simplifies rebanding migration process
• Minimizes disruption to Licensees
• Greatly reduces infrastructure costs and overlay
  requirements
• Reduces number of duplicate systems needed
• Enables system-wide mobility throughout customer
  migration

Infrastructure Summary

• Impact on Non-NPSPAC Systems is Retune
• Impact on NPSPAC Systems requires more effort
  Reprogram or Update
• SMARTNET I II need HW Replacements
• Other Systems need new SW
• New band plan software incorporates both before
  and after plans
• Simplifies rebanding process significantly
