WyoLink Equipment
Master Site:There are currently two master sites, located in Cheyenne and Casper. They are owned by the State of Wyoming.
Master site equipment Includes:• Central Controller – Primary Processor• Microwave Connection – All controllers and sites
are interconnected through the WYDOT microwave system
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition – System monitoring
• Encryption Key Management Facility – Encryption server
• Telephone T-1 lines - Dispatch centers and redundancy connections• Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)• Generator and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Core Towers:Core Towers are sites that provide for mobile radio coverage for the system’s users.
There are currently 53 towers in operation. In 2015, two more are scheduled to come on-line in North Western Wyoming (Signal Mountain & Black Mountain).
Core Tower equipment includes:• Communications Shelter• Tower and Antennas• Generator and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)• Main Electrical Power• Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)• Site Controller – Computer Processor• Repeaters – Quantar or GTR Radios• Antenna Combining Network• Microwave Connection – All controllers and sites are
interconnected through the WYDOT microwave system
Master Site
Core Tower
WyoLink is a statewide digital trunked network consisting of 70 active tower sites (53 core sites, 12 Portable enhancement sites, and 5 locally funded sites) which provide uniform
communication capabilities to government and public safety agencies.
WyoLink’s infrastructure is comprised of what is considered the “backbone” of the system and end user equipment (radios). The backbone consists of a master site, core towers, and portable
enhancement towers.
3
Portable Enhancement Towers:Portable Enhancement towers are WyoLink sites added to the backbone to enhance portable radio coverage in local areas.
There are currently 12 PCE sites in operation, 10 with the Building and Tower owned by the local governments and two with the Building and Tower owned by the State. An additional tower is scheduled to come online in 2015 at White Pine in Pinedale. The building and tower will be owned by the local government in Pinedale when the site is completed. RF equipment at all WyoLink sites is owned by WyoLink.
Portable Enhancement Tower equipment includes:• Communications Shelter• Tower and Antennas• Generator and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)• Main Electrical Power• Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)• Site Controller – Computer Processor• Repeaters – Quantar or GTR Radios• Antenna Combining Network• Microwave Connection – All controllers and sites are interconnected
through the WYDOT microwave system
Quantar Radio:A Quantar is a Motorola radio intended for use as a base station, either as a radio or as a repeater. It is capable of conventional analog as well as transmission and reception. Its transmitter is rated at 125 watts continuous duty. It will operate on 48 volts DC as well as 120 volts AC.
GTR Radio:A GTR is an Motorola radio intended for as a base station, either as a radio or as a repeater. It is capable of conventional analog as well as transmission and reception. It is an updated version of the Quantar radio. Its output power is 125 watts.
End User Equipment (Radios):Handheld Radio – Hand held, two-way radio transceiver that provides field personnel with transmit/receive capability for communication with the dispatch center and with other mobile radios. Its output power is 5 or 7 watts, depending on the radio.
Mobile Radio – Vehicle mounted radio communication devices. Its output power is 50 or 100 watts, depending on the radio and options ordered.
Control Stations – Stationary radios. Its output power is 50 or 100 watts, depending on the radio and options ordered.
Dispatch Center Console Seats (in buildings) – Wireline (T1 connection to zone controller) or Wireless (radios) – defined as the number of physical stations that control radio transmission and reception. A radio operator uses the console to select which channels to talk and listen on and for other interactions with the radios. The console seats are most commonly located in the dispatch center, but can be remotely located as well. Its output power is effectively 125 watts because consoles use Quantar and GTR radios at Core and PCE sites to transmit.

Number of Radios and Control Stations - December 2014
Control stations, mobile radios and portable radios are not impacted by software upgrades. The normal life cycle is seven years, when they are no longer supported by vendors, but they can last 10 – 15 years, and should be replaced when they are no longer serviceable.
