Radio Spectrum Issues & Resources

Radio spectrum is a very limited resource and over the years, the Federal Communications

Commission has taken a number of steps to provide additional radio spectrum to the private

land mobile radio service (PLMRS). These steps have taken various routes, from diverting

spectrum from other services, such as moving a small amount of commercial broadcast

spectrum (UHF TV channels in certain metro areas, and more recently in the 700 MHz band)

and a portion of the amateur radio band to PLMRS. In other cases, the FCC has resorted to

radio channel "splitting" of existing radio channels. This approach requires a modification of

existing equipment or the introduction of new equipment to allow operation on the "new"

narrower band radio channels. Technology improvements have also surfaced that allow more

efficient use of the radio channel. From a system configuration perspective, radio channel

trunking allows for the processing of more radio traffic than the older, conventional types of

radio systems currently used by most first responder agencies. Going forward, more esoteric

technical advancements are currently being developed that will allow multiple conversations in

radio bandwidth that once carried only a single voice conversation.

At present, from an operational standpoint, most State of Ohio first responder agencies

generally make use of four radio bands for their two-way radio systems. These include:

1. Low Band (30-50 MHz)

2. VHF (150-174 MHz)

3. UHF Band (450-470 MHz)

4. 800 MHz (Conventional and Trunked)

The chart below illustrates the amount of spectrum allocated by the FCC for use by public

safety/state and local government agencies.

A thorough description of these frequency bands and other spectrum related issues can be

found in the final report for Task 2.

Voice Radio Systems

Readers who are familiar with conventional and trunked systems may wish to briefly review this

section. For others, this section provides the basics of the various radio system configurations.

A number of different manufacturers and their two-way radio systems are described in order to

emphasize that there are various technologies, and these systems do not necessarily allow

interoperable communications. Even though some progress is being made to set standards for

land mobile radio communication systems, this process is not complete, and most likely will take

years to resolve, if indeed some consensus is reached.

A discussion is also included on non-terrestrial systems. Satellite communications does offer

another means to supplement land based systems, and can allow some form of interoperable

communications, depending upon the circumstances.

Conventional Radio Systems

In today’s environment, two-way voice radio systems fall into one of two operational categories,

conventional operation or trunked operation. Up until about 20 years ago, all two-way radio

systems were conventional systems, i.e.: not trunked.

The very nature of conventional communications has for many years restricted the efficient use

of frequencies. Conventional systems are frequency dependent, which means that a

department or agency is assigned dedicated frequencies for their use, but they cannot generally

utilize frequencies assigned to other departments or agencies for day-to-day operations. For

years, Police departments obtained frequencies in the FCC’s Police Radio Service and Fire

departments obtained their frequencies from the Fire Radio Service. In some cases, agencies

may allow usage of an assigned radio channel by another agency, but this is usually for

temporary emergency communications. There is also a sub-set of radio channels that can be

shared and used by multiple agencies such as the statewide intercity police channels.

Conventional radio systems are generally “frequency inefficient”. For example, consider a small

city in which the police and fire departments each have their own dedicated radio channel. On

any night when one agency is busy and the other is quiet, the busy agency cannot get all of its

calls for service dispatched because its radio channel is overloaded. An additional channel, if

available, would certainly help. Even though the city has bought and paid for additional radio


3

equipment used by the quiet agency, the department that is overloaded has no access to the

other channel because the second channel is assigned to the other department.

Consequently, large conventional radio systems generally require additional frequency

assignments to adequately meet airtime availability requirements. If a system is designed to

meet peak load activity, during periods of average activity, radio channels and the expensive

equipment connected to them are often under utilized.

Simplex Systems

In conventional (non-trunked) radio systems the basic communications mode used in land

mobile radio is known as simplex (non-repeater) operation. Communications occur on a single

frequency where only one party has use of the channel at a time. The base station transmitter

and receiver are operated alternately on the exact same frequency, as are the field units. In this

configuration, the optimal communication link is between the mobile units to the base station.

Portable unit communications to the base is less effective due to the reduced capabilities, i.e.:

lower transmitter power & smaller antenna of the portable radio units. Field units may not be

able to monitor a complete conversation since they may be out of range of the transmitting field

unit. That is, they may be able to receive base station or dispatcher’s traffic but not the

communications of the distant mobile or portable unit. This type of configuration is currently

used in all frequency bands, but most commonly in the lower frequency bands from 30 MHz to

UHF.

Repeater Systems

Radio repeater systems, also known as mobile relay stations, are used to boost the range of

portable & in some cases, mobile radios. Repeaters operate on a half-duplex (two-way, but

only one way at a time) basis. The repeater transmitter operates on one frequency while the

receiver operates on another frequency. This arrangement allows the base station to receive

and transmit simultaneously, but a conversation can take place in only one direction at a time.

A repeater receives an incoming signal from a low power portable radio & then simultaneously

retransmits or “repeats” the signal to all mobiles, portables, and control stations in the coverage

area.


4

Repeater systems make it possible for all field units to hear each other's transmission in a wider

geographic area than if direct unit to unit communication were used. Repeater operation can be

licensed in all bands (30 MHz-800/900 MHz).

Receiver Voting

To further improve the reception of radio transmissions from field units, especially portable radio

units, a sub-system known as receiver voting is often used. Receiver voting can be used in

simplex systems but is most often utilized in repeater systems.

Portable radios are often worn on the belt, causing some of the radio’s signal to be absorbed by

the user’s body. In addition, portables are often taken into buildings and structures that make

communications with the outside world more difficult. Since portable radio units do not have the

same operating characteristics as more powerful mobile units, which produce a stronger radio

signal, receiver voting can be used to enhance a portable radio’s “talk back” performance.

Receiver voting in a conventional radio system consists of a number of additional receiver sites

that are placed strategically throughout the service area. Each site is equipped with receivers

that operate on the same complement of radio channels as the associated repeater station.

The additional receivers are better able to receive a message from a field unit, i.e., the "inbound

message" or "talk-in" signal because increasing the number of receivers helps improve the

chance that one will be closer to the person using the radio. If several receiver sites receive

the portable radio’s signal, the multiple "inbound messages" are routed to a central site where a

device known as a voting comparator resides. A comparator is associated with each radio

channel in use. Each signal received from each site is evaluated on a per channel basis with the

TX=F1 RX=F2

TX=F1RX=F2

RX=F1TX=F2


5

best quality signal selected for routing to the dispatch consoles and/or to the associated

base/repeater transmitter for re-transmission. Because the dispatcher’s "outbound message"

or "talk-out" message is transmitted by a high powered base transmitter the signal can generally

reach throughout the radio coverage area from a single transmitter site.

Trunked Radio Systems

Trunked radio systems eliminate many of the frequency inefficiencies of conventional radio

systems. The radio communication needs of a large group of users can be more effectively

provided for by efficiently sharing an assigned number of common radio channels. The essence

of trunking is the automatic sharing of a group of common communication paths among a large

number of users. The telephone companies have been using trunking techniques for

approximately 100 years. When a telephone caller initiates a call, he or she is automatically

assigned a line or trunk for the duration of that call. Once the user hangs up, that same trunk

becomes available to other users. The sharing of lines or trunks is managed efficiently and

automatically by the switching equipment located in the telephone company's central office.

In the case of trunked radio systems, the equivalent of a telephone caller is a “talkgroup”. A

talkgroup is a group of users who typically communicate together. When a radio user makes a

call on a trunked radio system, he/she selects a talkgroup, and everyone who is a member of

that talkgroup hears that particular transmission. Conversely, other users who are not members

of that talkgroup do not hear that transmission or conversation.


6

For the past 24 years, trunking techniques have been successfully applied to dispatch radio

communications. A trunked radio system is based upon a common pool of radio channels that

are automatically assigned to field personnel by a computer on an “as needed” basis. All

agencies utilizing the trunked radio system have access to the common set of channels. No

channels are dedicated exclusively to any talkgroup or agency. The automatic assignment of

channels for radio conversations is handled and managed by a computer, which provides

prioritized access for Public Safety users. The trunked system incorporates intelligent radios

with microprocessor controlled circuitry, which automatically handles channel assignments for

the user. Channel assignments are transparent to the field user. The radio user simply

depresses the push-to-talk button and begins a conversation.

From a radio spectrum standpoint, most trunking systems operate in the higher frequency

bands, i.e., 800 and 900 MHz, with a few operating in the UHF band. Manufacturers are quickly

developing trunked radio equipment for the new 700 MHz band. Trunking at VHF is allowed,

however there are engineering and licensing issues that make VHF trunking in the United

States unattractive.

The FCC recognizes two basic types of trunked radio systems, centralized and decentralized.

A centralized trunked system typically uses one of the available trunked radio channels to

manage radio channel assignments as well as other functions in the system. This is managed

via a single “control channel" which continuously transmits information to the field units and

monitors requests for a channel from field units. Motorola’s SmartNet system and M/A-COM’s

EDACS system are both examples of centralized trunked systems.

Pictorial Representation of a Centralized Trunked Radio System


7

In decentralized trunking, There is no dedicated “control channel” to assign channel radio

channels for a radio call. Under this approach, the field radios continuously scan for an

available or open channel when the user wants to make a radio call. An example is the E.F.

Johnson “Multi-Net” trunked system.

The FCC rules require that licensees take reasonable steps to avoid causing harmful

interference. This requirement is met in decentralized trunked systems because each field unit

monitors each channel and finds an inactive channel to operate on when they want to make a

call.

In centralized trunking, the field radios monitor the control channel for channel assignments

when a call is to take place. This information is transmitted by the control channel non-stop, 24

hours per day. For this reason, centralized trunking essentially requires the exclusive use of the

radio channels assigned to that system in a specific geographic area. Exclusive use means that

no other entity is assigned the same radio frequencies for a distance of 50 to 70 miles. This

helps prevent the control channel, which transmits continuously, from interfering with other

agencies using the same frequency for their voice communications nearby.

In order to obtain exclusive use of frequencies in the VHF or UHF bands a number of criteria

must be met, one of which is that written consent must be obtained from all of the affected co-

channel users and adjacent channel licensees that operate in the surrounding area. Consent

may not easily be obtained with success depending greatly upon where other licensees are


8

physically located in relation to the proposed VHF/UHF trunked radio site. This makes the use

of centralized trunking at VHF or UHF a very problematic undertaking.

For the higher bands, especially 800 and 900 MHz (as well as in the soon to be released 700

MHz band) centralized trunking can easily be implemented due to the rules and regulations that

address radio channel assignments and licensing. It has been found that when properly

designed and implemented, trunked radio technology can address many two-way radio

communications problems by providing improvements in the following areas:

Reduced Channel Congestion

One of the primary advantages of a trunked radio system is its ability to support more

radio users per channel and provide faster system access time than conventional systems

equipped with a similar number of channels. Trunked system technology also allows for

the modular growth and expansion of the system as the users’ needs increase. A single

site trunked radio system can handle in excess of 20 radio channels and can support

thousands of radio users. A trunked radio system can generally provide faster system

access because field personnel have access to a larger pool of radio channels rather than

one or two channels in a conventional radio system.

For example, building on the small city example mentioned earlier, on a typical Friday

night at 11:30 PM, both police dispatchers and fire dispatchers may be very busy running

one call after another and there may be unit-to-unit traffic taking place as well. The

existing police and fire department channels are being heavily used. Additional radio

channels would be very useful, if available. At that particular moment, the public works

departments and utilities departments, as well other public service departments are not

operating because it is after business hours, and there is virtually no radio traffic on the

radio channels normally used by these departments. Even though the city in this example

owns and maintains the public works radio infrastructure, neither the police nor fire

departments can access those channels to overcome a peak demand for communications.

Those channels are assigned specifically to other agencies and remain idle.

In a trunked system, however, each user agency has access to the larger common pool of

frequencies, with built-in priority for the public safety agencies. Under the scenario

mentioned above, both the police and fire department personnel would have access to all

of the additional channels in the common pool instead of being limited to the number of

channels currently assigned to their agencies. By having access to the additional

channels, a peak demand for communications channels can be satisfied.


9

As an aside, it should be noted that in the scenario above, the implication is that there are

sufficient personnel resources to make use of the increased functionality of the radio

system. That is, there must be a sufficient number of dispatchers to effectively make use

of the added communications capability.

Although a public safety example is illustrated above, trunking efficiencies can be applied

very easily to other non-public safety departments. In fact, for those departments that now

operate on a single radio channel, and whose communications are served from a single

radio site, a shared trunked radio system may be an attractive alternative. Existing

channels can be pooled and shared by a number of departments. Due to the efficiencies

of trunking, the amount of infrastructure equipment can be reduced and the "extra"

channels allocated elsewhere. (It has been shown that trunking can be as much as 40%

more efficient in the use of channel resources).

Under normal day-to-day operations, where radio channels are available for assignment, a

trunked radio system will process requests for channels on a first-in, first-out basis. This

means that channels will be assigned to field users in the order that the channels are

requested. When a radio user requests a channel by depressing the push-to-talk button

on the radio, a channel is typically assigned to field personnel in less than one-half of a

second. Under these circumstances, where the trunked system has available channels for

assignment, the concept of user priority has no meaning because the system processes

requests for channels in the order in which they are received.

In the event that the system is extremely busy and all available repeater channels are in

operation at a given moment in time, additional requests for channels will be automatically

assigned to a waiting queue until the next available channel can be assigned.

The concept of user priority only applies to users have been placed in the system’s waiting

queue for a channel assignment. The trunked radio systems developed by the four major

systems suppliers all provide multiple levels of user priority. Generally, Public Safety

services are assigned a higher priority level than non-Public Safety users. Under

conditions when all repeater channels are in use, higher priority calls are placed in the

queue ahead of lower priority calls. Emergency calls, designated by depressing an

emergency button on the radio, are generally the highest priority and will move to the front

of the queue to accept the next channel assignment, or they can be programmed to

provide immediate access to a channel. If two calls of equal priority are received when the

system is busy, the calls will be handled on a first-in, first-out basis. If a call is from a


10

recent user, someone who has already been involved in a recent conversation, it will

receive a higher priority level than a new call would. The recent user priority provides for

continuity of ongoing communications when the system is busy. Most systems provide

for at least five levels of "busy queue" priorities.

It should be noted that the system should be designed to provide enough radio channels

to minimize and, if possible, eliminate the occurrence of system "busies", so that field

personnel do not have to wait for channel assignments. Once again, under normal day-to-

day operations in which the system has channels available for assignment, all system

users effectively have the same level of access priority. Under busy circumstances, when

no additional system channels are available for assignment at a particular moment, the

concept of priority comes into play.

Inter-Agency Communications

Trunking technology can provide total inter-departmental communication capability

between agencies or between divisions within a particular agency, if they share the

trunked system infrastructure. Put simply, any radio operating on the trunked system can

communicate directly with any other radio on the system, if desired. This means that,

given appropriate radio talkgroup organization and programming, various agencies that

utilize such a system can all communicate with one another at the field user level. Inter-

departmental radio communications barriers can be completely eliminated. This level of

interoperability can be provided throughout the system over a large area, but will require

that the various trunked repeater sites be “networked” or linked together. In some

statewide radio systems, agencies do not necessarily need to talk from one side of the

state to the other, especially if an agency is organized into local “districts”.

A trunked radio system can also be linked to other trunked systems and to other

conventional radio systems in any frequency band to facilitate radio interoperability. Such

inter-system communication can be accomplished in a variety of ways to meet user

requirements and interagency communications between users on the trunked radio

infrastructure and external users such as city, county and federal agencies.

System Management Capabilities

Since a trunked radio system is a computer controlled network, and each radio unit is

uniquely identified by ID number, the voice traffic characteristics of the system can be


11

stored and analyzed to determine the current communications loading on the system.

Since each radio on the system is assigned a unique ID, the system can log the amount of

airtime used by user, by agency, or by region, if necessary. This capability allows the

system to produce management reports to show how busy the system has been, is now,

and is likely to be in the future. Further, it can show how much of the system's capacity

each agency is actually using. This capability can be utilized to allocate costs back to the

various agencies, or for other planning purposes if desired.

Since a trunked system automatically recognizes each individual radio, the system can

provide Public Safety and Local Government dispatchers with the name or unit number of

the radio user each time the user depresses the push-to-talk button on the radio. This

feature called unit ID, can be a lifesaver for field personnel, since the dispatcher knows

who is calling, even if the user is unable to speak. Unit ID also helps eliminate non-

business or "extraneous" communications, since there is little question of its origin.

Trunked radios can also incorporate an "emergency" button that sends an emergency

alert to the dispatcher if depressed. The emergency message is sent by radio until it is

acknowledged by the system, ensuring that the message was received. Although it does

not identify the location of the individual, it does identify the individual with an emergency,

and helps assure that person of immediately getting a channel.

APCO Project 16 Trunking

In 1978, the Associated Public Safety Communications Officers (APCO) recognized that

trunking technology was on the horizon and set out to develop a list of standard functional

requirements for public safety trunked radio systems. This became known as the APCO Project

No. 16. The results and findings of the project became known as the APCO 16 Guidelines for

trunked radio systems. The following summarizes these guidelines:

Rapid channel access (one half second or less)

Interference free channels and simple operation

Efficient system design, no channel blockage

Common radio infrastructure with capacity to support multiple departments/ agencies

Interoperability between departments/agencies

Dynamic regrouping of units to special talk groups


12

Central network control and system redundancy

Emergency access, five priority levels for system access

Unit ID on all transmissions

Private and secure radio calls

Telephone interconnect

Voice encryption

Project 25 Trunking

APCO Project 25 also recognizes trunking as a contributor to the efficient use of the radio

spectrum. There are currently at least three major vendors in the U.S. that supply trunked

public safety/public service radio systems. These are listed below.

M/A-COM

Motorola

E.F. Johnson

Although each of these vendors supplies radio systems that provide trunking features, there are

differences between each vendor's approaches. Each of these systems utilizes a proprietary

communications protocol for channel assignment. Put simply, this means that generally, at the

present time, radio equipment from one company will not work on another company's trunking

system. Via the Project 25 process, each of these vendors has committed to providing digital

radio technology as a future capability in their trunked radio system products. The adoption of a

common standard would allow radios from one vendor to work on another vendor's system,

allowing more freedom in equipment procurement, and greater interoperability between

neighboring trunked systems. All of the manufacturers noted above provide conventional

systems as well.

Trunked Simulcast Systems

The term “simulcast” is a term derived from “simultaneous broadcast”, a method of transmitting

the same information from multiple transmitter sites on the same frequency at the same time.

Simulcasting is used to extend radio coverage over an area greater than what can be covered

by a single tower site. In a trunked simulcast system, multiple trunked radio sites, each with the

same radio channels, (i.e., identical transmit and receive frequencies), are electronically linked

in such a manner that when a message is to be broadcast, the message is simultaneously


13

transmitted from all sites, on the same radio channel, at each site. This simultaneously

transmitted message can be categorized as the "outbound message", say from the dispatcher

to the field unit. Because the outbound message is transmitted from multiple sites, a very large

radio coverage area can be obtained. A field unit can be anywhere in the "combined radio

coverage area" of the radio sites and will be able to receive the message.

Receiver Voting, described earlier, is also employed to improve the “talk back” side of the

conversation in a trunked simulcast system. The result is that both the outbound and inbound

transmissions are optimized, thus providing a very reliable widespread radio coverage service

area.

The two major system suppliers, M/A-COM and Motorola, both offer simulcast systems. It

should be noted that in a simulcast system, the same number of radio channels must be

replicated for each site in the system. That is, if a simulcast system is licensed for five

channels, these five channels are placed at each radio site, if the system is licensed for twenty-

one channels, 21 channels must be placed at each of the sites in the system.

Large simulcast systems can be segregated into multiple simulcast "cells" with each cell being

comprised of a certain number of sites, with each site supporting a specified number of

channels. These "cells" can be interconnected via a network controller and audio switch thus

allowing a very wide area system. Motorola identifies their wide area system as SmartZone,

while M/A-COM identifies their product offering as EDACS. Single site or standalone trunked

systems may also be interconnected to the simulcast network to provide “fill in” coverage where

fewer radio channels are needed. These systems are also known as multi-site systems,

meaning that they are part of a multiple site system, but are not simulcasted.

Trunked Simulcast Infrastructure Equipment

Ordinarily, keying up multiple repeaters on the same frequency in the same area causes severe

interference. To eliminate such interference, specialized infrastructure equipment is required in

a trunked simulcast system. This special equipment allows the various repeater sites to

operate simultaneously as a single system. The radio sites in a trunked simulcast system must

be electronically linked together for the distribution of voice communications and data exchange

reasons and the radio transmissions from the tower sites must be synchronized in time.

In this multiple site scenario, one site is designated as the “Prime Site", while all others are

designated as "Remote Sites". The distinction between the sites is that the prime site is

equipped with a certain complement of equipment because it serves as the main audio


14

collection, audio distribution and synchronization point, while the remote sites are essentially

"slaved" to the prime site.

A simulcast system can be configured in a number of ways to provide a level of equipment

and/or site redundancy. Redundancy provides for continued operation of the system in a full

trunked mode in the event of failure of critical equipment, or in the event that one of the sites is

lost through a manmade or natural disaster.

Two system configurations are discussed here, although there are others. The different

configurations each provide for a certain level of redundancy. Cost/Performance is one of the

Disadvantages when evaluating the different configurations.

In order to gain a very high level of system reliability, one of the remote sites can be designated

as an "Alternate Prime Site". In this case, the alternate prime site is equipped identically the

same as the main prime site, but normally operates as a remote site. However, the alternate

prime site will automatically take over the audio distribution and synchronization tasks in the

event the main prime site is disabled. This approach is one of the more technically complex and

costly forms of redundancy. Alternatively, it is possible is to provide redundant equipment for

those elements that are key to the operation of the system. In the various versions of trunking,

the prime simulcast site controller is the device that provides control of the entire system and is

an item that will be "backed-up" via an identical controller. Failure of the prime simulcast

controller would cause the "back-up" controller to be activated and the system would continue to

operate.

The benefits of employing simulcast trunking include the following:

Spectrum efficiency (efficient reuse of frequencies at each site)

Optimum radio coverage

Built in redundancy and back-up capability

The increased coverage and capability come at the expense of the following:

Cost of the infrastructure

Connectivity must be provided between all radio sites

Technical complexity of the infrastructure

A higher degree of maintenance is required due to the amount of equipment involved


15

Multi-Site Systems

Multi-site systems are generally used when a large geographic area must be provided with radio

coverage and there are enough radio frequencies available to use different sets of frequencies

at each tower site. Large multi-site systems with many tower sites can require a large number

of frequencies. For example, a 10 site multi-site system with 5 different channels at each site

might require up to 50 radio channels, depending on where the towers are located. A 10-site, 5-

channel simulcast system would only need 5 radio channels, since the same 5 channels are

used at each tower.

In multicast systems, individual "cells" are configured with a specific number of channels to

accommodate the expected radio traffic for an area. Multicast systems are typically used in

rural areas where wide-area coverage is needed and radio channels are generally available. .

Multicast systems can be linked to other systems including trunked or conventional systems to

provide robust interagency communications.

M/A-COM Trunking

M/A-COM provides two types of system architectures, a trunking system known as Enhanced

Digital Access Communications System (EDACS) and a system known as OpenSkyTM.

EDACS is a form of centralized trunking that can accommodate up to 24 radio channels per site

in either an analog or digital radio configuration. Control channel signaling occurs at 9600 bits

per second. Mobile data is accommodated within the trunked system using any of the working

(voice) channels operating at a 9600 bit per second rate. EDACS is available in four different

levels. EDACS level 1 provides a basic trunking system with minimal features. EDACS level 2

provides for the addition of dispatch consoles. EDACS level 3 provides the capabilities for voice

encryption and mobile data. EDACS level 4 provides for a wide-area capability. This wide-area

capability may consist of citywide, countywide, and statewide communications and consist of

simulcast "cells" and standalone trunked sites, and even conventional repeater sites. These

systems generally operate on 800 or 900 MHz but can accommodate other spectrum bands.

M/A-COM’s OpenSky™, system utilizes digital radio equipment in a time division multiple

access (TDMA) architecture, and can be configured from a single site system to a statewide

communications configuration. Using the TDMA architecture, M/A-COM repeaters currently

operate in a 25 (or 20) kHz channel and divide each channel into four time slots. Each time slot

can support a single voice conversation, which means that a single radio channel can support

up to 4 simultaneous conversations. This 4 to 1 improvement in channel capacity represents


16

the kind of efficiency proposed by the FCC. Each radio channel supports trunking control data

as well voice, therefore a dedicated control channel is not required.

Wide-area Open Sky™ networks are generally configured in a multicast configuration utilizing

different frequency sets at each repeater site. The Open Sky™ system is based upon Voice-

Over IP technology, (Vo-IP) allowing the system to transmit both voice and mobile data

communications using a single radio for both applications. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

is currently in the process of implementing a statewide OpenSky™ network to support the

various State agencies. The network has been designed to support approximately 25,000 users

initially, and be expanded to 150,000 in future years. Currently the OpenSky™ system operates

in the 800 MHz band. Plans are in place to expand the system to the other spectrum bands.

This particular technology is discussed further in the "Conceptual System Design Section" of

this report.

M/A-COM is also currently offering an IP based point-to-point network that is designed to

interconnect two-way radio systems in various frequency bands with its Open Sky™ network.

The product, known as “Network First” is based on infrastructure elements manufactured by

M/A-COM and utilizes their Sky Gate, a hardware platform to interconnect different two-way

radio systems. The systems that may be interconnected can include conventional, trunked,

analog or digital systems of any manufacturer to provide the interconnection with Open Sky or

between the various systems.

Motorola SmartNet & Astro P25 Trunking

Motorola's advanced trunking product is known as "SmartNet". The most recent version is

referred to as "SmartNet II". SmartNet II is capable of supporting up to 28 radio channels per

site in either an analog or digital mode. One channel in the SmartNet system is designated as

the control channel on which the signaling for channel assignments is transmitted and received

(centralized trunking). The control channel provides the communication link between the

microprocessor in the user radio and the controller at the tower site. When a radio user initiates

a call, the user depresses the push-to-talk button on the radio. The radio then transmits a

“request for a channel” to the controller at the tower site via the control channel. At the tower

site, the controller verifies that the user radio’s I.D. is a valid user I.D. and selects an available

repeater channel to assign to the radio user for the duration of his call. The controller then

sends out a message (channel assignment) to all radio users in the field user’s talkgroup to

automatically switch their radios to the assigned repeater channel to participate in the

impending call. All field radios in that user’s talkgroup automatically switch to the assigned


17

repeater channel and the conversation can begin. At the end of the radio conversation, the

assigned repeater reverts to the pool of available repeaters for the next channel assignment.

The time required from push-to-talk to assignment of a channel typically requires less than one-

half second. The control channel provides data signaling at 3600 bits per second, while

Motorola's Project 25 compatible digital trunked system utilizes a 9600 BPS control channel.

Historically, in most cases, Motorola generally has recommended that Public Safety mobile data

applications be run on a separate dedicated mobile data RF infrastructure communication

system (i.e., separate, dedicated mobile data radio channels).

Wide-area operation can be provided on a countywide or statewide basis. Systems are

supported in all radio bands starting with VHF and can be deployed in various configurations,

collectively known as SmartZone, consisting of a combination of single cell simulcast, multiple

cell simulcast and standalone trunked sites, as well as conventional radio sites.

E.F. Johnson Trunking

E.F. Johnson's advanced trunking system is referred to as "MultiNet® II". MultiNet® can

accommodate up to 30 radio channels per site. The hub of the system is the Radio Network

Terminal (RNT). The RNT provides capabilities for console connection, multiple site interfaces,

telephone interconnect, and conventional network interface. The RNT also supports Johnson's

"Auto-Trak" system of multi-site control. The E.F. Johnson trunking system design does not use

a dedicated control channel, but employs sub-audible signaling at 2400 BPS on each of the

working channels (i.e., decentralized trunking). Trunking is currently supported in the 800 & 900

MHz radio bands. Although E.F. Johnson does offer simulcast trunked system configurations,

they do not have the large base of installed Public Safety simulcast trunked systems that

Motorola & M/A-COM have.

Interoperability System Technologies and Solutions

In general from a conceptual point of view the following represent different methods of

interoperable radio communications among the field units:

Direct Analog FM

This is the most basic communications mode, which is in conventional mode (non-trunked). This

can occur as simplex (or single frequency simplex) or half-duplex operation. Simplex

Communications occur on a single frequency, and only one party has use of the channel at a


18

time. The base station transmitter and receiver are operated alternately on the exact same

frequency.

Most radio systems today use half-duplex (two-frequency half-duplex) operation. Half duplex is

simply simplex operation but on two different frequencies. The user must switch between

transmit and receive, and he/she cannot receive while transmitting and therefore cannot be

interrupted.

Half duplex is used to permit radio repeater operation. Repeaters are placed in locations to

receive weak mobile and handheld radio transmissions and to rebroadcast these transmissions

with more power to cover a large geographic area.

Currently, many of the State of Ohio agencies use this method of communications for

interoperability with users that are in the same frequency band by simply programming the

appropriate channels in their radios. Note that this works when radios are in the same

frequency band. Additional equipment will be required to implement a system that allows radios

in different frequency bands to talk to each other.

Exchanging Radios

Some solutions of solving interoperability problems are obvious, and in some cases are currently

applied as a situation warrants. One of these approaches is to a have an agency maintain a cache

of spare portable radios that can be handed out as the need arises to other responding agencies.

This approach has its positives and negatives, as most solutions do. Some negatives include:

1. Expending funds for the purchase of extra radios that may not be used extensively

2. Keeping the radios in good operating conditioning, especially with regard to the

batteries

3. Ensuring that outside agencies are apprised of (and if required, trained in) the operating

characteristic of the units

4. Developing and sustaining a distribution and collection process for the radios

Arguably one of the simplest and most straightforward applications, the practice of exchanging or

loaning radios can be used to support interoperable communications for short-term mutual aid

situations that occur, for the most part, within an agency's defined jurisdiction. Some entities may

extend this approach by "permanently" loaning radios to various public safety groups.


19

One approach is to store portable radios in an incident command vehicle to be used when needed.

This method can be successful in certain situations such as pre-planned events, or in cases of

mutual aid where the situation is contained to a few responding groups, but it may be very difficult

to accommodate a situation that would require a large number of radios.

For the general case, the mechanisms required to support an incident of large geographic scope

and duration would entail storing, maintaining, distributing and finally collecting the radio units.

Portable radio units lend themselves to this action but by their nature are effective only in systems

designed to support portable radio communications. Generally, few of the systems are. Therefore,

if an incident were to occur in the City of Cincinnati, where the trunked radio system has been

designed to support portable radio communications, effective communications using portable is

highly likely. This is not necessarily the case for the VHF and UHF systems in the region,

especially if the incident is located some distance from the nearest VHF repeater site. On the other

hand, for short-range direct unit-to-unit communications at a contained incident, portable

communications can be effective.

Utilizing Multiple Mobile Radios

Another approach in implementing interoperable communications involves the practice of installing

multiple radios within a vehicle. This is not uncommon for fire departments that have

automatic/mutual aid agreements or agencies that commonly travel a large territory that is served

by a variety of radio systems. Mobile radios are generally more effective than portable radios with

regard to radio coverage since mobile units have higher transmitter RF power output and much

more efficient antennas. One shortcoming of this approach is that communications is restricted to

the near vicinity of the vehicle given that the mobile radio unit is not a portable device.

The use of multiple radios could be extended to portable radios as well, except that burdening first

responders with two radios or more radios, along with the other equipment already carried is not

generally an appealing alternative.

Provisioning a Mobile Communications/Command Vehicle

On-site radio coverage can be provided via an incident communications/command vehicle that is

equipped with various VHF, UHF and 800 MHz repeater (mobile relay) stations. The extent of

radio coverage provided would be dependent upon a number of factors, including the location of

the communications/command vehicle in relation to local terrain, and the height of the antennas

located on the vehicle. The use of an extendable radio tower is preferred, however these are not

always available, and instead, when antennas are roof mounted, the actual height of the vehicle


20

will determine the extent of coverage. If so equipped, hardware within the

communications/command vehicle can be used to "patch" or interconnect the 800 MHz radios to

UHF, VHF, or other radio bands, thus allowing communications to take place between dissimilar

radio units or systems. The shortcomings of this approach are that coverage can be limited, and,

once the communications/command vehicle has left an area no radio communications is present

for units that must stay for follow-up or restoration activities.

Provisioning Fixed Radio Sites

In the preceding example, a properly equipped communications/command vehicle must be present

to provide the means for radio communications. Without the communications/command vehicle

communications will revert to its present condition. Placing fixed repeater stations, which operate

on the VHF, UHF and 800 MHz mutual aid conventional radio channels, at selected sites is

another approach for providing area-wide coverage to first responders. This approach provides a

continuous and permanent improved coverage relative to what the communications/command

vehicle could produce. Since the repeater stations are resident in the area, the radio service will be

available on demand.

Implementing Communication Console Patches

The patching or interconnection of dissimilar radio systems has been performed ever since the

inception of public safety communication dispatch consoles. Console patching simply allows

the conversations on one type of radio system to be linked to another system with the console

electronics providing the connection. The radio equipment infrastructure being patched must be

connected to the console via wireline, microwave, RF link or some other means.

Generally, mixed success has been realized when using console patches due to a number of

technical issues associated with this function. Most console patches are Voice Operated

(VOX). For instance, if an operator sets up a patch, via the console controls, of a conventional

VHF repeater station and a conventional UHF repeater station, the link between systems will not

occur until voice traffic is present from one system, that is, the patch electronics must recognize

the presence of voice before the patch is activated. Depending upon a number of factors there

is a good possibility that the beginning syllables of the message will be lost or truncated. In

order to address this issue the patch can be assisted by what is generally known as a Carrier

Operated Relay (COR) input. This input is derived from the station receiving an RF signal and

precedes the voice message. With the COR input the patch can be "forced" to ensure that the

following voice message is not truncated. The implementation of a COR can be straightforward


21

or complex depending upon a number of factors. These are well known to radio technicians

and service providers and will not be discussed here, but can vary in cost depending upon a

number of technical and system configuration factors.

Another troubling aspect of a console patch is that it may stay linked to the initializing station for

a set period even if there is no voice present. This is due to a number of factors including the

setting of the sensitivity of the patch. In the case of mobile relay stations that employ a "drop-out

delay", the repeater station transmits a carrier with no voice for a set period of time. The result

of this action is that the listener of the message, who is operating on the other patched system,

cannot speak until the initial repeater clears. Radio field unit users not familiar with this aspect

of operation will often immediately try to answer the calling party with the result that their initial

part of the message is not patched through to the other system. A similar result can occur when

patching conventional systems to centralized trunked systems employing message verses

transmission trunking.

Trunked systems also have an inherent delay due to the channel access process, which can

lead to lost syllables. Additionally the "busy-call back" feature of trunked systems must be

accommodated by the patch.

Generally the problems with console patches exist for both conventional and trunked systems,

although both are dependent upon system type, configuration, and operating parameters.

Patches can be effective if both the consoles and the systems are optimized for patching and

the users trained to operate in this mode.

There is another classification of patches that are essentially standalone, and many of these

devices have been enhanced to address many of the issues present with some console

patches. These will be discussed in the following paragraphs of this Section.

Although console patches can be optimized, there are other potential issues that must be

considered. First, when patching systems, the radio coverage footprints from each of the

systems must envelop the area of the incident. Unfortunately this may not actually occur. More

commonly the coverage of one system only extends partially into its neighboring agencies and

in many cases does not extend into the area of interest. In order for the patching of systems to

be effective, an incident would have to occur in the coverage overlap area of these systems.

Trying to patch systems that exhibit noisy and unreliable communications is the exact opposite

of what is desired.


22

Second, viable radio channels must be available to patch. This aspect is more of a concern for

conventional systems, since trunked systems, by their design can automatically accommodate

and prioritize communications and generally have the resources to carry the radio traffic. When

considering patches that involve conventional channels for short-term situations, such as a

pursuit, it may be possible to patch the primary working channels of the involved agencies

together without disrupting normal operations. That is, the primary channels are "shut down" to

normal traffic only for the extent of the incident. For longer-term incidents, channels must be

available for the duration, which normally precludes use of primary working channels.

Implementing Standalone Hardware Patches

Patching of radio systems can be accomplished using hardware devices that are independent of

communication console patches. There are numerous products available to accomplish this task.

Some of the hardware solutions are based on a radio-to-radio interface, while others are more

complex and interface on a network level.

A number of manufacturers produce hardware devices of varying capabilities and cost. These

range from a single box unit that ties two radios together to modular units that can be expanded to

accommodate a large number of patches. Some of the devices lend themselves to portability while

others are structured for use in fixed locations. Almost all have integrated functions that reduce or

eliminate the less than desirable attributes associated with console patches. This report makes no

attempt to address the individual features of these products. A condensed listing of various

hardware patch manufacturers is noted below along with a link to their WEB site for additional

Some agencies have chosen to utilize hardware patches at their console locations, others have

placed them in communications/command vehicles, while others have selected a portable or

transportable device that can be carried to a location and placed in operation. Each of these

approaches is valid and can meet the individual needs of an agency.

Implementation of a hardware patch requires the purchase of specific item of equipment plus the

associated radio equipment, which will include the base station or RF control station and the

associated antenna system. The actual number of base stations needed will depend upon the

number radio channels and/or talkgroups that will be simultaneously activated. Given that radio

equipment is easily programmable, it is possible to have multiple personalities present in any one

radio, which provides the flexibility to use the unit to access a number of systems depending on the

need. Certain hardware patches will accommodate the interfacing of portable radio units as well as

base stations.

Generally an operator activates hardware patches. Some however, will allow activation via a radio

field unit using a form of signaling, such as DTMF. Usually all have a port that allows

interconnection to a dispatch console or control console. Configuring of the patches can range

from straightforward to complex, with some requiring the support of a knowledgeable technician.

Hardware patches generally have been optimized to overcome the issues that are present in

console patches and are less likely to experience missed or dropped syllables and can

accommodate system access and timing issues. However, as in the console patch discussion two

major issues remain. Radio systems being patched together must provide reliable radio coverage

in the area of concern and radio channels must be available for the duration of the incident.

Hardware patches can be very effective in providing interoperable communications when

configured in the appropriate manner and applied in the correct circumstances.


24

System Networking

Network Solutions

Patching of radio systems was discussed as an immediate solution; however, there are methods of

interconnecting or patching of dissimilar radio systems can be accomplished on a network or wide

area basis. These have been categorized as an intermediate solution since their implementation is

somewhat more complex, and as a general rule, are more costly than the implementation of

console or hardware patches.

There are many variations of network patching or interconnection. Most include the following

elements:

1. A master central interface or central network equipment such as controller, audio

switch, WAN switch, server, router and so on

2. Interface equipment at the radio site, or in some cases at a dispatch center

3. A means of connectivity between the master equipment and remote locations using

circuit based or packet based technology via private or commercial wired or wireless

services

The major radio system manufacturers offer this capability as part of their wide area system

architectures. For example M/A-COM EDACS and OpenSky systems have the ability to patch

various system types, as does Motorola's Smartzone product. This discussion will center upon the

devices that allow system interconnection independent of a particular manufacturers wide area

system architecture. It should be noted that some interoperability solutions make use of equipment

that can be used both independently and as part of a manufacturer specific system.

Examples of System and Equipment Suppliers

The following table provides a partial listing of various manufacturers that supply a network-based

solution for interoperable communications. It is stressed that the wireless marketplace is dynamic

and this is only a sampling of the various systems and products available. A brief description of the

key features of each product is included. Additional information can be obtained via the listed WEB

Cisco Systems – According to Cisco®, their IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS)

provides a systems approach to communications interoperability, operations, and emergency

management. Based upon IP standards and technology, Cisco IPICS transparently integrates

disparate PTT networks, providing advanced features without requiring a change in existing

operating procedures. It offers a flexible, dynamic, and secure platform that facilitates sharing of

information, improves operations, and provides a framework for real-time event management, while

protecting investments in traditional PTT and Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems.

Cisco IPICS is designed not only to meet the immediate tactical needs of public safety and

enterprise organizations, but also to establish a foundation for additional layers of powerful

capabilities. The initial release of Cisco IPICS focuses on voice interoperability across multiple

networks, and provides services for user management, policy creation, and integration of diverse

PTT devices. But its underlying architecture will allow Cisco IPICS to extend well beyond voice

interoperability to provide complete information-based interoperability and collaboration, with the

contextual integration of voice, video, and data resources.

CoCo Communications - CoCo Communications is a new participant in the market place. The

are configured to allow the interconnection of various types of systems. All interconnections are

effected at an audio level at each site, with the audio converted to packet data and routed to the

main hub or SkyCenter controller for redistribution.

The SkyCenter is generally located at a regional operating center along with routers and network

management equipment. At the base station, or in some cases, dispatch center sites, another

component, the SkyGate, is used to convert audio to packet data for transport over a private VoIP

network comprised of wired or wireless circuits. The picture above presents a high level

illustration of the system architecture. Implementation of this type of system does allow a direct

migration to M/A-COM's wide area OpenSky voice and data two-way radio system.

o Radio to radio

o Legacy to legacy

o IP networks to IP networks

o IP networks to legacy

o Motorola to other vendors

REDCOM Laboratories - The system provided by REDCOM supports interfaces to cellular, UHF,

VHF, HF and satellite communications and is designed around on circuit based architecture.

Smartlink Radio Networks, Inc. - Smartlink promotes its concept as a real-time networking

solution that allows dispatch radio systems to be converted into a cellular type architecture. It

reportedly provides for the integration of systems from different vendors including trunked or

protocol transparency.

VDV Media Corporation - VDV Media reports the availability of the D-TRK multi-protocol switch

that allows for interoperability between different system types with future support of M/A-COM

EDACS, Motorola Smartzone and SmartNet as well as MPT1327, and Project 25 systems. Cross

band operation for conventional VHF/UHF and 800 MHz systems and LTR trunked systems is

currently supported.

Operational Aspects

The networking of individual systems, each of which serves a particular area, can be effective for a

coordinated response to a multi-jurisdiction incident when activities must be provided over a wide

geographical area. Given that there are various frequency bands, and types of technologies

present in the region, the application of networking has its place.

Networked systems depend upon some form of connectivity to support their interconnection.

Some are circuit based, while some make use of packet data technology such as Voice over

Internet Protocol. Many system suppliers strongly recommend private or dedicated methods of

connectivity instead of interconnection that is shared, such as the Internet. When considering a

network solution, an important aspect is the survivability of the circuits that provide the connectivity.

Certain events can compromise these services, unless alternate routing or some other form of

redundancy is employed.

The process to activate a patch between systems varies with some system suppliers

recommending that the individual user(s) set up the patch, while others recommend centralized

control. On the other hand, console patches are under direct control of an operator, while

standalone hardware patches can be operator or user activated and in many cases both methods

are available. This is usually the case for network patches. The method used to activate network,

or other patches, is a very important aspect of the operational procedures that must be in place in

order to allow effective interoperable communications. The type of access control must be

carefully considered when planning the development of wide area system linking.

For network patches that allow the user to activate the patch, the radio field unit must be able to

activate the patch either through in-band signaling such as DTMF, or out-of-band signaling such as

CTCSS, which is sub audible. In many cases, interfacing to a network is not as simple as wiring


29

the two-way equipment to an interface box, which makes the connection to the network elements.

The interface at the two-way radio infrastructure level often calls for modification of the two-way

radio equipment to allow the connection to the network, or in some cases additional two-way radio

equipment is needed as well as the network interface components. Since independent systems

will be engaged as part of a greater network, a very high level of cooperation will be needed

between the various system operators and owners to effect the interconnection.

As is the case for most applications, there are numerous choices to be made concerning the

selection of the type of network patch, the supplier of the equipment or system, and the particulars

of how the network is to be operated and maintained. In some cases the system architecture

allows a degree of autonomy with regard to the network interconnections and in other cases a

more centralized form of control is required.

Network Solutions Offered by the Major Radio System Suppliers

In addition to the essentially "generic" network solutions, the major manufacturers provide system

specific wide area system offerings, such as M/A-COM's EDACS or OpenSky systems, or

Motorola's Smartzone and ASTRO 25 (APCO Project 25 Phase I compliant) systems. Each of

these architectures make use of a central, or master site that contains the network control and

routing equipment with the outlying radio sites, or cells, interconnected to the master site. When

considering the implementation of these types of wide area systems, the issues of a technical

nature can generally be overcome. The larger issues may center upon the management aspects

of having a number of independent agencies working together to form, jointly purchase equipment

and operate the network.

A key element when configuring the system is the selection of the master site or network

operations center. This site generally contains the central equipment responsible for the control

and management of the system. All outlying radio sites require connectivity to the master site and

this includes the dispatch centers, if they are to retain full operating functionality. A privately owned

and operated microwave or fiber optic system is one means to obtain connectivity although leased

digital circuits can be used. Often a combination of the two becomes the choice due to economics

or technical issues.

Trunked systems lend themselves to interconnection, but conventional systems can be interfaced

to the network as well. Each manufacturer addresses this in a specific manner.


30

Ancillary Equipment

The previous solutions are centered upon two-way radio equipment and associated hardware

additions and system enhancements. There is another subset of solutions that requires

consideration when planning for incidents and situations of an emergency nature.

Steps should be taken to ensure that the systems that provide communications are available for

use even though there is a failure of critical items of equipment, loss of commercial AC power, or

loss of leased circuits that provide system connectivity. These failure modes can be addressed

through the implementation of redundant equipment, or redundant sites, or simply ensuring that

emergency standby power is available in the event of a commercial power failure.

It is prudent to equip critical communication sites with emergency standby generators. Ideally

these should take the form of permanent on site generators designed or "sized" for the site.

Alternately, portable standby generators could be used, but these are not recommended, since a

power failure may occur at a critical site that is not easily accessible, or is located some distance

from where the portable generator is stored, or inclement weather makes it difficult to deliver and

set up the generator. In any case, the radio system will be "off-the-air" until the portable generator

can be put into operation, and this may occur during a critical time period when communications is

needed. Portable generators are also restricted in their capacity to supply a substantial amount of

AC power, thus may be limited in their application. Battery systems are another source of

emergency power, but these systems generally have limited capacity and will not endure a long-

term commercial power outage.

High/Low Capacity Data Networks - Leased Services

Data services provided by Local Exchange Carriers [LEC] and Competitive Local Exchange [CLEC] provider

Local loop facilities connect subscribers to local exchanges called LECs. These are the

traditional telephone companies providing service geographically as a monopoly. LECs provide

dial tone to its customers, and route calls locally or to other exchanges. CLECs, created as a

result of the Telecom Act of 1996, provide similar services competitively in the same area.

The use of LECs and CLECs is:

• Available in Ohio.

• Utilizes mature time division multiplexing [TDM] technology.


32

• Asynchronous and synchronous multiplexing, utilizing line rates of 9600bps,

56kbps, 256kbps fractional T-1, 1.544Mbps T-1, and 45Mbps DS-3, are

available.

• Utilizes a combination of common carrier(s) fiber and copper infrastructure

• Not assured of redundancy and alternate routing of carrier facilities at all

locations. Typically, this can be provided as a customized feature at the

higher line rates and increased cost.

Integrated Services Digital Network [ISDN] Service

ISDN architecture was developed to support multiple services, such as voice, data, video,

LANs, etc., using a single copper line. To a user, the services appear as one network providing

end-to-end connectivity that uses multiple networks.

ISDN bandwidth may include several channels available for data transmissions, but essentially

two channels are commonly used. These are known as the B-channel [bearer channel] and the

D-channel [demand channel].

The B-channel is a 64kbps voice grade channel used for data transmission without control

signaling, while the D-channel provides for a 16kbps channel. The D-channel performs all

signaling functions, such as call initiation and termination. ISDN service is provided from

telephone company central offices [CO] to locations up to 18,000-ft from the CO. Service

beyond this limit requires special channel banks.

ISDN service began in the early 1980s and targeted large businesses that had major voice

applications with somewhat less data requirement. In recent times, however, ISDN has evolved

as a driving force for higher speed Internet connections. The first DSL circuit available was

ISDN, and is now called IDSL. IDSL is a hybrid ISDN [no ISDN switch]. The two B-channels are

aggregated for 128kbps service for data only – there is no voice channel as other DSL services

may provide.

ISDN uses one of two access methods: Basic Rate [BRI] or Primary Rate [PRI] ISDN. The

Basic Rate service is a dial-up service consisting of two 64kbps B-channel and one 16kbps D-

channel and is commonly referred to 2B+D service. Therefore, the channel aggregate speed is

144bps. The two B-channels are independent where one could be used for voice and the other

for data. The Primary Rate service is at T1 speeds, which uses 23 each 64kbps B-channel and

one 64kbps D-channel [23B+D].


33

Other ISDN interfaces includes an S/T interface [4-wire interface]; a U interface [2-wire full

duplex]; and, R interface [RS232, V.35].

• ISDN is designed to provide end-end digital communications between end

user telephone and data systems over common carrier provided networks.

• The two basic types of ISDN services offered are as follows:

o Basic rate interface service consisting of two 64kbps channels and

one 16kbps digital channel for line supervision.

o Primary rate service consisting of 23 64kbps channels, and one

64kbps channel for line supervision.

These two types of services are typically deployed from a customer

location and the serving central office.

Digital Subscriber Line [DSL] Service

DSL is a relatively new high data-rate medium that uses twisted pair copper facilities for delivery

of its services. This technology allows the use of existing phone lines to increase transmission

rates well beyond the capacity of exiting copper based services, along with voice functionality.

Carriers are targeting this service for residential users but data communications personnel are

looking at this medium as a low cost, high-speed communications link between LANs. For

some applications, it can replace Frame Relay, ISDN and modems circuits.

DSL service requires special modems [for voice and data] at each end. Typically, the telephone

central office will separate the voice from the data and pass it on to the public switched

telephone network [PSTN], while the data is handed off to another network utilizing Frame

Relay, ATM, or other fixed circuits.

There are several different variations of DSLs, commonly expressed as xDSL. These are

categorized as asymmetric and symmetric DSL.

Asymmetrical DSL [ADSL] is intended for residential use and utilizes a 1.5Mbps downstream

data rate and a 384kbps to 1.5Mbps upstream.

Symmetrical DSL, which includes SDSL, HDSL VDSL and IDSL, is more suited for corporate

networks handling large amounts of data. These use the same data rates upstream and


34

downstream. IDSL is a hybrid ISDN technology. Line rates for XDSL are typically between

1.5Mbps to 52Mbps. Typical service rates are shown below in Figure-2.1.

A major drawback of DSL circuits is the distance limitation from the central office to the

subscriber local loop. Maximum data rates can only be achieved if the subscriber is 4km to 6km

from the central office, which makes the technology inappropriate for rural areas.

DSL services compete with dial-up analog modems, cable modems, ISDN, as well as satellite

access.

Summarizing Digital Subscriber Loop [DSL]:

• Utilizes existing copper cable plant from central office to remote facilities.

DSL technology allows carrier to extend the service life of their installed base

of copper cable.

• Service can be provided by traditional telephone companies, CLECs, and

ISPs [Internet Service Providers].

• Uses a form of frequency division multiplexing.

• Is capable of line rates of up to 6Mbps contingent upon distance.

• Is typically limited to within 4 to 6 kilometers of the central office.

• Availability may be limited in certain areas of Ohio.


35

• Is subject to outages typical of copper-based services.

Broadband Wireless Services [Local Loop]

In recent times, high-frequency wireless services have been developed to provide broadband

services that will be used in lieu of fiber optic and copper line connections.

Local Multipoint Distribution Systems [LMDS]

LMDS represents a recent radio based technology via the transmission of microwave

frequencies that has comparable architecture to cellular radio. The system utilizes the 27.5 to

31.3 GHz band with bandwidths of up to 1.3 GHz in a point-to-multipoint configuration. The

network can be configured with small cells serving very small areas of up to 3-miles radius.

Two-way services can be provided for video, high-speed Internet, telephony services and very

high-speed data.

• Still several years away from wide-scale deployment

• Targeted to large users in metro areas

• Initial deployment is targeted to the buildings in metropolitan areas

• Due to the frequency band, coverage and signal shielding problems are

problems

• Provides a broadband alternative to fiber, coax cable and XDSL

• Service is available in some parts of Ohio

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Systems [MMDS]

MMDS, commonly known as wireless cable, has for 20-years been trying to compete against

the traditional TV broadcast band services, cable-TV, and Direct Broadcast Satellite [DBS].

With frequencies in the 2.1 to 2.7 GHz band and only 200 MHz of bandwidth, only 33 TV

channels can be provided. One-way MMDS networks did not have sufficient analog capacity to

develop profitable TV businesses.

However, the telecommunications industry sees MMDS as yet another broadband wireless

solution to provide wideband digital data services. Thus, the FCC has changed MMDS

regulations, allowing two-way use of the spectrum. Many MMDS service providers have


36

established Internet related subsidiaries and are upgrading their networks to provide MMDS

data services. They intend to target the Small Office Home Office [SOHO] market segment.

Many in the industry see MMDS as complimenting DSL type services to locations where DSL

cannot provide service due to distance limitations. MMDS can provide data rates of 1Mbps to

10Mbps upstream, and 512 kbps downstream.

Advantages to MMDS include:

• MMDS usage currently underutilized

• Implementation very cost effective

• Available in some parts of Ohio

High Capacity Backbone Transport for Enterprise Networks

Historically, Time Division Multiplexing [TDM] has been the workhorse for providing reliable

high-speed data transport functions. The technology has been utilized for many years, initially

using wireline facilities, then migrating to higher capacity wireless and optical fiber networks.

TDM will continue to be a major player in the transport backbone and local last mile networks.

Analog signals are converted to digital signals [and vice versa] using TDM multiplexing. This

transmission system inserts PCM frames into timeslots. There are two types of TDM transport

systems: [1] Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy [PDH] and [2] Synchronous Digital Hierarchy

[SONET].

Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy [PDH]

This digital hierarchy multiplexing is based on the use of TDM technology, utilizing

asynchronous multiplexing scheme and having a primary rate of 1.544Mbps. PDH is ‘almost

synchronous’ and was developed about 40-years ago to carry digital voice channels. The

almost synchronous designation is due to incoming channels being created by different

equipment types that may have slightly different timing clocks. Therefore, incoming channels

must be brought up to the same bit rates. This is achieved by adding more bits in the stream

and is commonly referred to as ‘bit stuffing’.

The following chart shows the different hierarchical levels in use in the U.S.


37

Table 0-1

1 DS1/T1 24 1.544Mbps

2 DS2/T2 96 6.312Mbps

3 DS3/T3 672 44.376Mbps

One major problem with this type of multiplexing is the lack of flexibility to drop and insert

individual channels at locations. Access to tributary data rates requires step-by-step

demultiplexing to extract the required lower order digital stream, and then re-multiplexing up to

the transmission line rate. This is due to having to strip bits that were inserted during the ‘bit

stuffing’ process.

PDH multiplexing is a common transport medium and is the foundation of most enterprise data

communications networks. The technology will continue to be utilized when “low speed”

applications are required. The need for greater capacity in large networks required the industry

to migrate to SONET based networks over the past 10-years.

Summarizing traditional TDM:

• Proven mature technology in widespread use

• Designed to provide end-to-end digital communications for voice and data

• Can be utilized on copper cable, optical fiber and wireless networks

• Commercial leased services can be provided by carriers and others

• Can be implemented by the state as part of an upgraded system

• Typically can be used for backbone and last mile applications


38

Synchronous Optical Networking [SONET]

Synchronous Optical Network digital hierarchy utilizes a much higher transmission rate than

used in PDH. As the industry required increased bandwidth and transmission efficiency, the

utilization of SONET became widely used for high-speed fiber optic backbones.

SONET data rates are structured for different channel levels, shown in the chart below, and are

typically deployed over dual-ring optical fiber networks. However, in recent times, microwave

radio vendors are capable of providing OC-3 level transmission rates.

SONET is based on the use of TDM technology utilizing synchronous timing formats. It uses

specific frame format structure to carry data [and overhead]. The synchronization of the

channels uses pointers dictating data position of each channel within the SONET frame.

This technology is the standard optical parameters for interfaces up to about 10Gbps. This

enables a SONET network to add and drop channels more easily and less expensively than T-1

based [PDH] networks. This powerful, very high-speed transmission network is typically the

baseline for advanced switching techniques such as ATM and IP.

OC-96 64,512 4976.64

OC-192 129,024 9953.28

Summarizing SONET:

• SBC Communications, Inc. is among the vendors providing this service in

Ohio.

• Utilizes optical fiber medium up to OC-192 rates. OC-1 and OC-3 rates can

operate over microwave and wireless systems.

• Implemented in a ring or mesh network structure.

• Designed for high reliability and redundancy. SONET networks usually have

a primary path and a backup “protected path” for SONET nodes on a

network.

• Typically used for long haul backbone networks that require high capacity

service.

Currently, the State of Ohio contracts a SONET system. The State leases service for the

transmission of voice, data and video. E Tech/Ohio (formerly the Ohio Telecommunications

Network Commission and SchoolNet) uses the service for transmission of television programs

among its affiliated public television stations and is one of the largest users. Other significant

users are OSIRN and the Ohio Public Libraries Integrated Network (OPLIN) and the various

state and local agencies in need of high capacity data transmission lines.

The backbone transmission lines are all optical fiber. Users of the network can place orders for

service anywhere in the state with a single contractor, SBC, regardless of the number of service

providers involved with the provision of service. SBC is also responsible for all network service,

maintenance and billing. Rates for the service have been standardized and will be stable

through July 1, 2006. The State is currently planning for the next generation network.


40

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)

Just as PDH transport technology migrated to SONET technology during the past decade,

Dense Wave Division Multiplexing [DWDM] technology will evolve as perhaps the next level of

optical multiplexing. This is due to the multiplication of transmission speeds that DWDM can

provide.

DWDM is an optical [analog] multiplexing technique used to increase the carrying capacity of

existing and new fiber [single-mode] networks way beyond what SONET can provide. Different

wavelengths of light in the 1500-nonometer spectrum are used to transmit multiple streams of

information along a single fiber. The technology is available today for long-distance transmission

allowing 16 to 40 wavelengths on a common fiber medium. Systems accompanying up to 240

different wavelengths will be available in the near future. So far, DWDM has been mainly

deployed as a point-to-point, overlay to the optical TDM network creating "virtual fiber",

therefore, incorporating networking techniques on the fiber level.

DWDM has drastically reduced the cost of transport by reducing the number of electrical

regenerators required, and sharing a single optical amplifier over multiple signals.

DWDM is based on the use of frequency division multiplexing over fiber optic cable. Currently,

multiple frequency systems can support aggregate line capacities of up to 80Gbps or more over

a fiber optic loop carrier system.

Separate backbone networks [radio, data, telephone for law enforcement, Nation Guard, state

colleges] would operate in separate nanometer frequency bands or channels over a DWDM

network.

• DWDM networks are usually deployed in a ring network infrastructure that provides

for backup and alternate routing.

Point-to-Point Microwave Radio Systems

Microwave radio provides a cost-effective, high-quality transmission medium for ever

demanding telecommunication services. Historically, microwave radio was used for high-

capacity trunk routes for telephone companies. However, public safety agencies in the US have

used microwave networks almost from its inception due its high reliability as well as safety and

security concerns. Commercial operators gradually migrated their high capacity microwave

networks to even higher capacity fiber-optic networks. During this transition, public safety’s use


41

of microwave radio continued to grow. Recently, other wireless operators, such as cellular and

PCS, have been using this technology for interconnecting short haul links.

Microwave radio networks have advantages over wired systems, because there is no physical

medium connecting end locations. This is done using radio waves. These networks can be

easily deployed because no cable has to be installed between end points, thus making the initial

investment cost low.

Microwave radio uses spectrum in the 1GHz to 40 GHz range. These frequencies are

transmitted using parabolic dish antennas located on towers between two fixed locations that

have line-of-sight. Distances between end points can be up to 50-miles, depending on what

frequency band is used. The higher the frequency, the less distances that data can be

transmitted. On some frequencies, weather, such as rain, snow, or moisture can attenuate

signals.

Point-to-point microwave radio systems can be implemented in a ring or star configuration for

backbone networks and can accommodate data rates up to 155 Mbps.

For public safety microwave radio networks, available frequencies are found in the table below.

Table Microwave Frequency Bands

18 GHz 17.7 to 19.7 Low to medium capacity microwave band

23 GHz 21.2 to 23.6 Low to medium capacity microwave band

Microwave Summary:


42

• Has been the “workhorse” of public safety wireless transport systems nationwide.

• Line-of-sight high capacity radio system [point to point], with range of up to 30

miles for digital based systems.

• Can support aggregate line rates of up to 155 Mbps between locations.

• Highly reliable [9.9995% or greater], and typically used to support public safety

applications.

• Requires FCC licensing for operation.

Several municipal, county and state public safety systems make use of the microwave for

interconnection of radio sites and their corresponding dispatch centers.

Low Capacity and “Last Mile” Transport for Enterprise Networks

Point-to-Point Digital Microwave Systems

Microwave point-to-point digital equipment used in low capacity links is similar to those used in

high capacity links. However, they are typically scaled down units providing lower data rates

and having capacities of a single T1, 4T1, 8T1, and 12T1, etc.

ISM Band Unlicensed Microwave Radio

Unlicensed microwave radio is also commonly known as spread-spectrum radio. Wireless

spread-spectrum technology was the technology of choice for wireless local area networks

[WLAN], which allowed wireless computer-to-computer communications. However, widespread

acceptance of WLAN technology was limited due to the lack of transmission speeds and

bandwidth. However, the industry became more receptive to this technology when the FCC

modified its rules to allow spread-spectrum modulation in the ISM frequency bands, as identified

on Table 0-1 below.

Table ISM Bands

Frequency Band

[MHz]

Bandwidth [MHz]

Band

902 – 928 26 Industrial

2400 – 2483 83 Scientific 5725 – 5850 125 Medical


43

In the last eight to ten years, unlicensed spread-spectrum microwave radio has emerged as yet

another means of digital communications for commercial, industrial and public safety entities.

Primary applications include communications site interconnect for Cellular/PCS/Public-Safety,

Regional Bell Operating Companies [RBOC], Competitive Local Exchange Carriers [CLECs],

and Internet Service Providers [ISP]. Other applications include extensions of LANs for

enterprise networks, wireless local loop [WLL], and PBX extensions. The license-free feature

makes this technology attractive to copper leased lines, fiber-optic, and traditional microwave

radio due to its low cost and quick implementation.

Spread-spectrum radio allows transmission line speeds ranging from 56 kbps to 10 Mbps, or

channelized capacity of up to 4DS-1.

Advantages of Spread-Spectrum ISM Band radios include:

• Can effectively support ranges in excess of 10-20 [depending on frequency

band] miles from the central control point

• Usually requires line-of-sight between central site and remote site locations.

• Can support capacity of up to 4DS-1 channels per remote location.

• High capacity alternative to copper and fiber based “last mile” alternatives

provided by local exchange providers

• Easy to install and operate

• Does not require FCC licensing

Satellite Services

Satellites have served the telecommunications industry well for about four decades. Even so,

several new generation satellite services will be deployed in the next few years. This next

generation of broadband satellite services will target high-speed access and Internet services.

The satellites themselves are currently classified as Little LEOs, Big and Mega LEOs, MEOs

and GEOs. The common term "EO" stands for earth-orbiting. Each class of satellite is defined

by its altitude and orbit. Therefore, LEO represents low earth orbiting, MEO medium earth

orbiting, and GEO geostationary earth orbiting. The designation "little" refers to small and is

used for low cost inter-personal messaging and telemetry. The designation "big" refers to large

systems optimized for voice, and "mega" for very large broadband systems.


44

GEO satellites are geostationary; that is, they are "parked" in orbit that is in sync with the

rotation of the earth so that it appears to be stationary to an observer on earth. The majority of

satellites in operation today are GEO’s using VSAT [virtual small aperture terminal] technology

for the earth segment network. VSAT networks are used to connect a large number [several

hundred] of geographically dispersed locations [the U.S. or multi state regions] to a hub [or central

location] economically for most businesses and local government applications. Voice, data, and

video can be transmitted at speeds from 56kbps to 1.544 Mbps. New LEO satellite services may

complement existing VSAT networks, and perhaps will exceed capabilities in the future.

With microelectronics maturing in the 1980s, and other of technology advances such as LNA,

DSP, signal compression, battery technology, etc., newer and lighter lower orbit non-

geosystems began to be disclosed by several companies beginning around 1990. LEOs and

MEOs are becoming spaced-based alternatives or will complement existing GEO services,

especially for MSS [mobile satellite services]. The first launches were in 1996 with Motorola's

Iridium and Orbcomm. It appears likely that many planned projects will never get off the ground

due to the vast amount of capital needed to deploy these systems.

Nevertheless, there are only three or four LEOs in service. They include Orbcomm and

American Mobile Satellite Corp [AMSC]. Many LEOs will have life spans in the order or 7 to 10

years. The table below characterizes the state of some planned satellite services.

Table State of Satellite Services

SATELLITE CLASS NUMBER SERVICE Up/Dn SATELLITE DATE DATA RATES

Service Targeted6Mbps/64Mbps

Orbcomm LEO 2 1998 4.8kbps Spaceway GEO 4 2007 30Mbps/2Mbps

• Supports line rates of 56 Kbps up through 1.544 Mbps DS-1 service per

location.

• Typically used in remote geographic areas where no other services are

available.


45

• Supports data and voice applications.

• Latency [transmission delay] typical of these systems makes transmission of

public safety radio based applications difficult.

• Does not support error rate requirements typical of public safety applications

[99.99% availability].

• Growth projected to be in the 2007 to 2010 timeframe

Key Data Network Concepts - Data Protocols and Switching

The delivery of data from one point to another utilizes one of two basic connection schemes:

circuit switching or packet switching.

Circuit Switching

Circuit switching uses a dedicated channel, or circuit, that establishes a communications

channel for the duration of the data transmission. An example of a circuit-switched network is a

dedicated leased line between two or more locations. Another is the telephone company’s dial-

up network, where various copper wire segments are linked, creating a dedicated single line

between two locations. Circuit-switched systems are ideal for communications that require data

to be transmitted in real-time. Circuit-switched networks are sometimes called “connection-

oriented” networks.

Packet Switching

Packet switching is an advanced technique that divides the data messages into

packets, which are then sent individually. These packets are routed, taking several

different routes to their final destination, where the packets are re-assembled. There is

no need for dedicated leased lines. The Internet is an example of a packet switch

network. Packet switching networks are also referred to “connectionless” networks.

However, a network can be configured as a “connection-oriented” network by using a

higher-level protocol, such as X.25, Frame-Relay, and IP. ATM networks attempts to

combine the best of all worlds; that is, it guarantees the delivery of data just as circuit-

switched networks can but with efficiencies of packet-switching networks. Current

packet-switched technology now provides far more sophistication, allowing greater

efficiencies, less transmission delays, and bandwidth management, all of which form the

notion of Quality of Service [QoS].


46

Quality of Service [QoS]

QoS is a networking term that specifies a guaranteed traffic throughput level. For example, a

circuit-switched network provides a high QoS because of a dedicated connection delivering real-

time data, while a packet-switched network may provide a lower QoS due to the different routes

packets may travel or arrive. For networks that can accept some delays in data transport, then

packet-switched networks are more efficient and do not require a dedicated connection for data

delivery. This presents a challenge for the delivery of video and voice services on data networks

since these transmissions require a high level of QoS.

Voice and video transmissions [isochronous transmissions] are used by human beings

[interactive], which means that data transmission should not be interrupted, but the data be

received sequentially. Otherwise, the transmission quality is degraded because the response

from the other party is either delayed or corrupted [although the brain can process very short

disturbances without losing message meaning].

However, for email, database file transfers, etc., the same disturbance in a computer system,

which may be only one erroneous bit, may destroy the whole data frame that contains a large

amount of data. Fortunately, most data networks can recover from errors by re-transmission of

faulty data frames. Transmissions are received intact but may have encountered additional and

variable delays. Voice and video applications cannot tolerate these delays; therefore data

networks need to provide QoS control.

Telecommunication Networks

X.25 Networks

The X.25 packet switched network was designed as a point-to-point low quality physical network

providing some data error-checking functions. It allows subscribers to use modems on the

Public Switched Telephone Network [PSTN] for connecting LANs between various locations in

an area. This 1970’s method of data transmission, which provides a maximum data rate of

64kbps, was not designed for high-speed data transmission requirements. New services for

high data rates have become available, with Frame Relay and ATM emerging as the two most

important of these.

Frame-Relay Networks

Most LECs or CLECs provide Frame Relay service for customers who need data transfer

speeds of 56 Kbps to 45 Mbps DS-3. Frame Relay, which is also called Fast Packet Switching,


47

switches to the destination part way through the frame, reducing the transmission delay

considerably.

Frame Relay transmits variable length data packets [as X.25 does] but does not provide data

checking and acknowledgement capabilities, leaving that function to network users. Data rates

of up to 50Mbps can be achieved.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode [ATM]

ATM is a network technology based on transferring data in cells or packets of a fixed size. The

cell used with ATM is relatively small compared to units used with older technologies. The small,

constant cell size allows ATM equipment to transmit not only data, but also video and voice over

the same network, assuring that no single type of data hogs the line. Network delays are lower

and predictable because of ATM’s QoS control, which can provide guaranteed bandwidth with

low delay and jitter similar to circuit-switched networks.

Current implementations of ATM support data transfer rates from hundreds of megabits/second

to Gigabits/second. One of the biggest advantages of ATM over competing technologies such

as Frame Relay and Fast Ethernet is that it supports QoS levels. This allows ATM providers to

guarantee to their customers that end-to-end latency will not exceed a specified level.

Internet Protocol

In a very short time period, the Internet and the Internet Protocol [IP] have revolutionized data

networks. Its predominant force has changed the way we do business. The Internet’s

beginnings go back to the 1960’s, but it did not achieve wide spread usage until the

development of a graphical user interface [GUI] that became available in the middle 1990s. The

World-Wide-Web [WWW] GUI, and the emergence of Internet service providers [ISP], has

evolved the Internet into a large worldwide packet-switch data network.

The Internet Protocol’s [IP] main task is addressing, which allows the routing of IP packets

between computers [each packet has the IP routing address]. The IP network is comprised of

several elements, mainly routers and permanently connected hierarchical computers, each

having an IP address [routers may have multiple IP addresses]. Another protocol, known as

TCP [transmission control protocol], insures that the IP packets arrive in order and without

errors. TCP does this by making a logical connection between the source and destination

computers, checks out errors and retransmit frames if errors found, and rearrange packets if

they arrive out of order.


48

IP Convergence

The Internet was originally designed for data communications using packet switching

transmission techniques. Since there is no circuit or dedicated capacity for each user, this

method is very efficient.

Since the Internet has developed as the world’s major information network, it makes sense that

the convergence of the telecom world and the datacom world into the infocom era is taking

place. For these reasons, it is expected that the Internet will be used more and more for

telecommunication, this includes PSTN voice communications. It seems that when it comes to

transporting voice over a data network, IP will be the prevailing protocol over transport. This

capability is referred to voice-over-IP [VoIP].

Unfortunately, IP does not provide any Quality-of-Service [QoS] control for real-time information

such as voice and video applications. Because of the variable delay of packets, VoIP speech

quality is presently not as good as the PSTN. However, there is much activity in this area and it

is projected that VoIP will surpass PSTN usage sometimes after 2010. Current VoIP usage is

less than 5%, but is increasing at a rapid rate.

Some people in the industry think, at least for the next several years, that the integration of IP

and ATM [using ATM as the transport layer for providing QoS control] is attractive because it

allows different traffic types on the same data pipe. ATM is a multi-service network that can

support virtual private networks [VPNs] with different classes of services, and QoS guarantees

on a platform that offer voice and video without any problems.

For telephone PBX systems, vendors have tackled the QoS problem, at least in the lab.

Traditional voice features appear to work well and voice quality is getting better. There are other

issues relating to rolling out of VoIP, one is in terms of network capacity, and the other related to

E9-1-1.

Many entities are finding out that they require a significant expansion of their data network over

which voice will travel because of the added voice traffic. The second issue is the potential

technical issue that may arise with voice delivered using the Internet Protocol (VoIP)

communicating the necessary call- back and location information to Dispatch Centers

including 9-1-1 calls placed from PBX serving several buildings or remote sites. At this point, the

industry is working very hard with vendors and NENA committees, who are actively engaged in

figuring out solutions.

1.2 Methodology

The project is divided into three tasks:

Task 1: Review, and assess current statewide level First Responder Communications

connectivity

Task 2: Identify System Level Connectivity, weak points and/or Non Existent

Connections

Task 3: Communications Interoperability Recommendations

This report summarizes the findings of Task 1 and serves as the deliverable for that task.

Task 1 focused on the review and assessment of the survey data collected by the Ohio State

Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) from Ohio First Responders and the Department of

Health (Medical Providers). The initial data (database) was compiled and analyzed by the

University of Cincinnati and presented on April 2, 2003.

1.3 Summary of Findings

The database developed as the result of the survey provides a wealth of information and insight

into the communications connectivity and interoperability among the First Responder

communities in various parts of the state. The major parts of the database are organized into

appendixes at the end of this report. The information in this report will be used as the foundation

for the next task, which is identifying and analyzing the system level connectivity of the First

Responder two-way radio systems in the state.

RCC utilized the raw response data from the original database in tabulating and organizing the

categories considered in the original survey questionnaire. This study is focused on the system

interconnectivity among the First Responders and the Health Department (medical providers)

using two-way voice radio systems.

The following is the summary of the findings and the assessment of the data gathered thus far:

1. There were 779 agencies responding the survey. The distribution and

types of the agencies are shown below:

2. Among the respondents there were:

67 Sheriff departments

As described in Section 3.2, the police and fire department representation

is 53% and 7% respectively, when considering the total number of those

departments in the sate. Therefore, the response from the fire department

community is comparatively low for this survey.

3. The agencies responding to the survey, for the most part provided a

description of their system, current at the time of survey.

4. The survey indicates that there are approximately the following number of

mobile and portable radios utilized by the responding agencies:

Mobile radios: 19,352

Portable radios: 35,633

Approximately 107 of the above units use encryption some or all of the

time.

5. The main frequency bands of operation for the agencies responding to

the survey are shown below.

Total Agencies using VHF Low Band= 42 5%

Total Agencies using VHF High Band= 379 49%

Total Agencies using UHF = 122 16%

Total Agencies using 800 MHzConventional =

14 2%

Total Agencies using 800 MHz Trunked = 172 22%

Total Agencies using 900 MHz = 1 -

Total Agencies using MARCS = 63 8%

Total Agencies – No Two-Way Radio = 23 3%

Some of the agencies in the survey are in the process of

implementing or migrating to new upgraded system, which in


5

many cases involves 800 MHz bands. Section 3.7 shows that 42%

of the respondents have, at the time of survey, near term plans to

upgrade their system.

6. For dispatch operations, the agencies reported the following:

430 agencies self-dispatch

225 agencies also dispatch for other agencies

271 agencies are dispatched by others of which 188 (24%) of

them are either dispatched by Sheriff or a county Communications

Center.

7. On the subject of interoperability, 378 or 48.5% of the respondents

indicted that essentially they do not have a problem contacting

other agencies during emergencies. The remainder report various

problems ranging from total lack of inter-agency communications

with all emergency responders to the lack of capability to

communicate with certain identified agencies. It appears from reading

the responses that some of the counties either have or are working (at the

time of survey) on an interoperability communications plan. Some of

them were in the midst of, or were planning, on migrating to an 800 MHz

trunked system. Therefore, some change in the interoperability picture

since the time of the survey is expected. Among the events influencing

the possible changes are as follows:

General awareness of interoperability problems throughout the

country and availability of grant funds for projects improving or

fostering interoperability enhancements among the first responder

community.

Implementation of the statewide MARCS system infrastructure that

may allow alternatives to some of the agencies in the state. The

Health Departments responding to the survey were planning to utilize

the system. Many of these agencies were not users of a two-way


6

radio communications system at the time of survey. Also, the state

agencies, including OSHP, are planning to migrate to the MARCS

system. As these agencies migrate to a different system, the local

agencies will need to take additional steps to maintain interoperability

with these agencies.

Some of the counties were at the transition stage to a regional

system. The one that is often mentioned in the responses is the

Hamilton County 800 MHz trunked system.

8. Although the survey database includes significant amounts of information,

there are some key areas where additional information is required. A

workaround to collect additional information will be necessary when

proceeding with Task 2.

Feedback is almost 2 years old. Many agencies responded they had

near-term plans to modify their system or change to the MARCS or

other systems. Many agencies also were not aware of the MARCS

system and most of these agencies also requested additional

information regarding this system. During this interim time period, some

agencies may have either implemented or changed their plans.

Some agencies reported plans under consideration to study and

develop interoperability communication systems or plans for their area.

The plans of these individual counties or agencies may provide insight

that will be beneficial in developing the state communications plan.

Some of the interoperability options to be developed later in this project

require additional detailed knowledge of current dispatch configurations

to understand if they can accommodate additional channels for

interoperability.

For the radio systems where interoperability is desired, it will be

necessary to understand if the system coverage is such that it would be

beneficial to patch systems together at the console(s).


7

RCC will need to gather additional detailed information during the second task in order to

develop an accurate picture of the current systems in each of the 88 counties. The information

gathered through the survey will help in the update process. Therefore, to proceed to the next

task and as part of Task 2, RCC proposes to develop a short questionnaire to be submitted to

certain official(s) in each county, as determined appropriate by the members of the SIEC

committee, in order to collect this information. RCC will also coordinate with the state in

incorporating any parallel information that is currently being gathered through other efforts.

This report summarizes the findings of Task 1 and serves as the deliverable for that task.

Task 1 focused on the review and assessment of the survey data collected by the Ohio State

Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) from Ohio First Responders and the Department of

Health (Medical Providers). A copy of the cover letter and survey questionnaire is included in


10

Appendix A. The initial data (database) was compiled and analyzed by the University of

Cincinnati and presented on April 8, 2003.

3. SURVEY DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS

3.1 Survey Data

The information analyzed in this report was collected through a survey that was conducted by

the SIEC. A copy of the questionnaire is included in Appendix A. This survey was conducted in

mid 2003. The survey was distributed to all known Ohio public safety administrators (Sheriffs,

Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, and EMS Chiefs). The information from the responses to the survey

was entered into a database (Microsoft Excel format). The State received assistance with the

compilation and reduction of the raw data from the University of Cincinnati, Division of Criminal

Justice. The UC staff made a presentation of their initial findings to the SIEC on April 8, 2003.

The analysis by RCC in this report is based on the original raw data. The University of

Cincinnati supplied the Excel file to RCC.

3.2 Types of Agencies Responding to the Survey

RCC reviewed the original database. The process started by cleaning out the database such as

correcting spelling errors (i.e., misspelled County names) and eliminating or excluding

redundant entries for agencies. For example, there are three entries for Aberdeen Police

Department with one of them abbreviated as Aberdeen PD. The original total entries (or

responses) were 828. The resultant entries, after corrections and elimination of redundant data

are 779.

The next step was to categorize each entry into the type of agency such as police, fire, Sheriff

(SO), Ambulance, Health Department, Emergency Management and other such categories. A

listing of the agencies responding to the survey is shown in Appendix B. The listing also shows

information on areas of responsibility (in square miles), population and number of personnel as

provided by each respondent. Appendix C shows the number of local agencies responding by

county. The following Table1 and Figure 1 show the distribution of the types of agencies

responding to the questionnaire:

Figure 1 – Percentage Distribution of Survey Respondents

As was indicated earlier, the survey was sent out to all public safety administrators, Sheriffs,

Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs and EMS Chiefs. RCC then set out to determine the percentage of

overall agencies in the State that responded to the survey. For Sheriff, EMA and County Public

Health we know that there are 88 counties in the state, and therefore 88 of each of these

agencies. The percentage representation of the respondents of those agencies is as follows:

the Survey

Percentage of Respondents to the

The 2004 State Fire Marshal directory, www.com.state.oh.us/sfm/pub/MasterFDD.pdf, shows

that there are total of 1,228 fire departments in the state. The total fire respondents were 86.

This is sum of FD/EMS and PD/FD categories. It does not include the EMS/Ambulance

category since it is not included in the Fire Marshal directory. This means a small fraction of the

fire departments (7%) responded to the survey.

There are total of 798 municipal/local Police Departments in the state (the total is derived from a

file supplied by the State EMA). This suggests that the response to the survey for this category

was 53%.

A summary of municipal/local police and fire representation in responding to the survey is

shown below:

3.3 Description of the Current Systems

The survey asked the following questions:

General description of your current system:

Equipment count: Base Stations, Mobiles and Portables

Number of frequencies

FCC Call Signs

The responses to the above questions are shown in Appendix D. RCC has determined that

there were 607 respondents that provided the above information. Included among them are

those that RCC is already familiar with. Further, the timing of the survey was such that some of

the systems were in the process of being upgraded. For example, the agencies in Hamilton

County by now would be on the County’s 800 MHz trunked system. This item is also taken into

consideration when determining the quality of information provided.

It must be noted, however, that the information provided by the above agencies is not enough

by itself to readily construct a table of current systems and their capabilities for each county. It

will require research, looking up FCC Call Signs and other sources and in many cases calling

the contacts in the area to obtain the required information.

There were 107 respondents that use encryption for some or all of their subscriber units.

The survey results indicate the following number of mobile and portable radios:



Note: the above subscriber totals may not be reliable information since it may include

redundant counts. Also, the information on the number of frequencies and trunked channel

does not appear to be reliable.

3.4 Frequency Bands

RCC developed the table in Appendix E based on the provided information in the survey and

additional information obtained by RCC through prior knowledge or other sources. The table

indicates the main frequency band(s) that each agency operates in. The table and information

will likely be revised and updated as more information becomes available in the subsequent

tasks. Some of the counties such as Delaware County are in the implementation phase

moving to an 800 MHz trunked system. In this case the information for Delaware County will

change once the users have migrated to the new system. A summary of the voice systems is

shown below:

Total Agencies using VHF Low Band= 42

Total Agencies using VHF High Band= 379

Total Agencies using UHF = 122

Total Agencies using 900 MHz = 1

Total Agencies using MARCS = 63

Total Agencies – No Two-Way Radio = 23

Total= 816

3.5 Dispatch Operations

The survey asked the following questions:

Self Dispatched? Yes No If yes, do you dispatch for other agencies also? Yes

No If Yes whom?

If you are dispatched by another agency, who?

The responses to the above questions were as follows:

Of the 779 survey responses, 430 indicated that they are self-dispatched, 225 respondents

indicated that they also dispatch for other agencies.

In addition, 271 respondent (35% of the total respondents) indicated that they are dispatched by

others, of which RCC’s categorization shows that 188 (24% of 779 respondents) of them are

either dispatched by Sheriff’ or the County communications center.

According to a PSAP listing file obtained from http://www.ohioapco.org there are 339 primary

PSAPs and 89 secondary PSAPs in Ohio.

3.6 Interoperability

The survey asked the following interoperability questions:

What other first responder agencies are you currently able to talk to directly, via

radio?, and how do you do so (i.e.,: what frequency, talkgroup, etc.)?

From your dispatch center? (List what agencies you can talk to & how)

Car-to-car? (List what agencies you can talk to & how)

Portable-to-portable? (List what agencies you can talk to & how)

Are there other agencies you need to talk to in emergency situations via radio,

but can't?

The responses to the above questions are shown in Appendix F. RCC categorized the

responses as follows:


17

Table 6 – Responses to the Survey Question: Are there Any Agencies You Cant’s Talk To Via Radio?

As noted in Table 6 above, 378 or 48.5% of the survey respondents indicated that they do not

have problems contacting other agencies during emergencies. Lack of direct contact with Ohio

State Highway Patrol (OSHP) was mentioned next by 14% of the respondents. OSHP often

indicates lack of communications with first responders including fire/EMS and in many cases

with local police departments. In the case of OSHP, law enforcement agencies with VHF

capability can communicate with the agency through the Ohio Law Enforcement Emergency

Radio Network (L.E.E.R.N 154.935 MHz). They also indicated capability on state-wide Sheriff


18

(County-to-County): 155.370 MHz to contact OSHP. It is also noted that the State has provided

MARCS radio control stations at the individual PSAPs. This will allow the dispatchers direct

contact with the State Patrol (OSHP and other State agencies as they are migrating to the

MARCS system). Also, the Health departments indicate acquisition of MARCS radios upon

availability of grant funds.

Contact with surrounding police and fire/EMS were the next categories. There were a few

agencies (about 6%) reporting lack of direct communications with their own local fire or police

agency.

The interoperability problem appears to be more pronounced in the areas where the first

responder agencies are operating in different frequency bands, differing and often incompatible

radio systems. Some of the agencies also reported lack of adequate radio coverage to contact

other agencies when operating outside their vehicles.

Many agencies reported having adjacent agencies’ frequencies programmed on their radio units

if they are on the same frequency band. They achieve interoperability by switching to the

appropriate frequency. Some of the agencies with separate frequency bands from surrounding

agencies may have a separate radio to access the agencies not on their main system. They

(law enforcement agencies) may use the State band frequencies (Police LEERN or Inter-City)

for this interface.

Some of the agencies reported use of Nextel Direct Connect to reach some of the surrounding

agencies.

3.7 Near Term Upgrade Plans

The survey asked information for any near term upgrade that the agency may be planning for.

332 or 42% of the respondents indicated that they have near term plans for some type of

upgrade. The responses to this question, according to RCC’s categorization of those responses

where an explanation of the upgrade was provided, were as follows:

The database developed as the result of the survey provides a wealth of information and insight

into the communications connectivity and interoperability among the First Responder

communities in various parts of the state. The major parts of the database are organized into

appendixes at the end of this report. The information in this report will be used as the foundation

for the next task, which is identifying and analyzing the system level connectivity of the First

Responder two-way radio systems in the state.

RCC utilized the raw response data from the original database in tabulating and organizing the

categories considered in the original survey questionnaire. This study is focused on the system

interconnectivity among the First Responders and the Health Department (medical providers)

using two-way voice radio systems.

All units equipped with LEERN (currently this is the only way to establish communication with other agencies, by car).

1. Our system consists of one base station with two positions (Motorola Centracom Series II). Local Antenna service, with one additional remote antenna for extended broadcast area. Currently, there are 172 portables in use by our deputies. One hundred and sixty one of these portables are Motorola HT1250 series radios. Supervisors and Specialty units I.e., (Narcs, Bureau, ISP, etc.) have the capability to scan and transmit on other Agency's frequencies. There are still eleven of the Motorola GP300 series radios in use. These do not have the capability to scan and transmit on other Agency's frequencies. There are still eleven of the Motorola GP300 series radios in use. These do not have the capability to scan, and are only capable of operating on six channels. We also have an in-house system that is mainly used by our jail. Jail channels are not repeated. Currently there are 48 cars total which are equipped with Motorola Radio units. These units are only capable of receiving our frequencies. A majority of the units are also equipped with LEERN radios also. 2. Currently we are able to Scan and Broadcast to these agencies (not all portables have this capability just the Motorola HT1250's equipped with such). These agencies are: Oakwood village, Walton Hills, Bedford, Maple hts. Bedford hts, Garfield hts., Warrensville, Solon, Shaker hts., South Euclid, Bratenahl, Euclid, Lakewood, Beachwood, Mayfield, Orange, North Ridgeville, also LEERN, SEALE, and CECOMS. With the portables equipped with this feature, we can basically program them to receive and transmit on any agency's channel as long as are not operating on a 'trunking' system. Some Motorola HT 1250 series radios capable of scanning and talking to other agencies.

Yes - whom: Some local agencies have 'trunking' on their system which prohibits you from scanning and broadcasting on their frequencies.

Connections. Task 2 has three deliverables as follows:

Report 2A: County Capability Data Base

Report 2B: County Communications Equipment Infrastructure

Report 2C: Present Interoperability Capability


This report summarizes the findings of Task 2A and serves as the deliverable for report 2A.

Report 2A focused on the following:

Determine present communications interoperability strengths and weaknesses between all law-

enforcement entities (including State law-enforcement) within each county and surrounding

counties (including adjoining counties of other states).

Determine present communications interoperability strengths and weaknesses between all fire

protection entities (including State Fire Marshal) within each county and surrounding counties

(including adjoining counties of other states).

Determine present communications interoperability strengths and weaknesses between all

health providers (including emergency medical services, health care providers, and State and

Local Health Departments) within each county and surrounding counties (including adjoining

counties of other states).

The information analyzed in this report was collected through the following sources of

information:

1. Information contained in RCC’s Task 1 report. The report contains information

received from a survey conducted by SIEC. This survey was conducted in mid

2003. Where applicable, RCC has attempted to update information as it is

available from other sources.

2. To gain additional insight, RCC developed and sent out a survey questionnaire to

EMA directors. The questionnaire was divided into two parts; Part 1, an Excel

file that contained questions on system information and frequencies and Part 2,

which contained questions on interoperability issues. RCC Received the

responses back from 22 counties.

3. RCC’s research also included other sources and databases including: BSSA

and FCC databases, internet, and RCC’s current and past experience in Ohio.

The data that was accumulated from the above sources is presented in a tabulated format on a

county-by-county basis. For each county, the interoperability capability is assessed both within

the county and with surrounding counties in each of the following categories:

1. Law Enforcement

2. Fire Protection

3. Health Providers

4. Between the above entities in a multi-agency response.

For each county the strengths and weaknesses of the existing interoperability capability is

outlined. From the summary of these strengths and weaknesses an interoperability capability

assessment is assigned to each county in the above four categories.

The assessments, with some modification, are based on the six levels of interoperability

originally defined by APCO. For this report the levels are defined as follows:

Level 0 – Relay Messages through Dispatch Center(s)

Level 1 A – Swap Radios (Radio Exchange)

3


Level 1 B – Multiple Subscriber Units (Multiple mobile radios installed in the vehicle)

Level 2 – Direct Radio

2A - Talkaround (direct radio to radio simplex communications; i.e., LEERN car-to-car)

2B – Program surrounding agencies frequencies

Level 3 – Mutual Aid Channels (Shared channels) utilizing a dedicated fixed transmitter/receiver system.

Level 4 – Gateway/Console Patch

4A – Crossband Repeater (i.e., VHF LB channel is repeated on a UHF channel)

4B - Console patch

4C – Gateway patch (standalone hardware or network systems)

Level 5 – Proprietary Shared Systems

Level 6 – Standards-based Shared Systems

The individual county-by-county database is included in Appendix A. A summary of those

assessments is displayed graphically in Section 3. The pictures show the following:

This report summarizes the findings of Task 2B and serves as the deliverable for report 2B.

Report 2B focuses on the following:

Provide a county level report of the present communications systems utilized by the first

responder entities. The report indicates the band of frequencies (VHF low-band, VHF high-

band, UHF and 800 MHz), the system operational platform formats (simplex, duplex repeater,

trunk type), tower site facilities (where available), modulation types, and coded squelch types

utilized by each entity.

1.3 RCC’s Approach

The information tabulated in this report was collected through the following sources of

information:



2003. Where applicable, RCC has attempted to update information, as it is






responses back from 22 counties as follows:


Adams County EMA mail email/mailAuglaize County EMA --- email Brown County mail mail Defiance County email email Franklin County EMA email email Fulton County EMA mail mail Hancock County EMA email email Hardin County EMA mail mail Hocking County 911 fax fax Huron County EMA email email Jackson County EMA email email

county-by-county basis. For each county, up to two tables are provided one for the conventional

systems and the other, where applicable, for the trunked systems in that county. The tables

provide information, where available, on the radio channels utilized by the first responders as

follows: the system or channel name, the fixed site transmit frequency, the transmit PL/Squelch

tone, the fixed site receive frequency, the fixed site receive PL/Squelch tone, the transmitter

tower location, indicate if the channel is (A for Analog or D for Digital), (R for Repeater or S for

Simplex), the percentage of mobile coverage within the jurisdiction, the percentage of outdoor

portable coverage within the jurisdiction, and any other comments that will help in understanding

the system or channel configuration and usage.

Note: Hamilton County/Cincinnati wide area 800MHz system serves all Fire, Police and EMS agencies within Hamilton County and Cincinnati. It is the intent to add all Governmental non safety units over time. Some agencies maintain the capability for dispatch on UHF. City of Norwood Fire, University of Cincinnati Safety units and Cincinnati Fire/EMS and Police operate on Cincinnati simulcast cell. Other safety units operate on Hamilton County cell though all can roam through out the entire coverage area. Common talk groups provide unit level interoperability. City of Norwood Police have not yet purchased 800MHz radios and are only safety unit that is not part of the system.

RCC Consultants, Inc. has been retained by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Emergency

Management Agency to assist in the development of a State Interoperable Communications

Plan. This Plan will outline the interoperable communications approaches for Ohio’s First

Responder Community at both the Federal and State levels and within the 88 counties in Ohio.

1.2 Methodology

RCC’s responsibilities were divided into three primary tasks:


connectivity







This report summarizes the work performed relative to Task 2 and serves as the deliverable for

Report 2C and also the final deliverable item for Task 2.


As part of this task, RCC developed an extensive communications infrastructure and

interoperability data bases of all 88 counties within the State of Ohio. These data bases

included a list of infrastructure by agency, the type of communications system(s) in use and the

frequencies of operation. This information was also classified by first responder discipline,

including Law Enforcement, Fire Protection, Health Provider, as well as a combined multi-

discipline response. This information indicated that a wide variety of different types of

communications systems and frequencies are still in use by first responders throughout Ohio.

1


Nearly one third of the counties, 28 out of 88, do not have a common frequency band of

operation among all disciplines. The breakdown of primary frequency band used within the

counties is shown in the table below:

Multi-Discipline Frequency Band of Operation

Frequency Band Number of CountiesVHF Low Band 1 VHF High Band 33

UHF 9 800 MHz 17

Mixed 28

In addition, a full 80% (71 out of 88) of the counties still use at least some older conventional

analog communications equipment and have not yet migrated to newer technologies supporting

an enhanced feature set and improved efficiency.

Also as part of this task, RCC evaluated and classified the communications infrastructure

capability present today both at the county level and between surrounding counties. Using

common industry-accepted levels of interoperability (Levels 0-6, RCC added Level 0 to account

for Relay Messages through dispatch centers), it was determined that the vast majority of

counties, 72% (63 out of 88), only have the capability within the county to support a basic Level

2 form of interoperability. This number grows to 75% (66 out of 88), when considering a

response with surrounding counties. The higher forms of interoperability (Levels 5 and 6) can

be supported by 19% (17 out of 88) of the counties for a response within the county and by 17%

(15 out of 88) of the counties when considering a response with surrounding counties. The

summary for a multi-discipline response is shown below:

RCC determined that the State of Ohio wrestles with the same types of interoperability

challenges that affect most first responder agencies throughout the country – incompatible radio

systems and multiple frequency bands of operation. RCC also determined that the State and/or

counties have implemented or participate in a number of initiatives designed to address these

challenges. Some of these initiatives are listed below and are described in more detail in the

body of the report:

Statewide Mutual Aid Channels

Uniform naming of the 800 MHz Mutual Aid Channels

Predominant Frequency Band Within a County

MARCS Radio at Selected PSAPs

MARCS Radios for Incident Command

Countywide Trunked Systems

Interconnection of Neighboring Countywide Systems

BSSA Vehicles

Ohio-Michigan Interoperability Initiative - Initiatives for developing common interoperable

talkgroups with the State of Michigan 800 MHz Trunked System.

These initiatives provide a basis for enhancement and additional development of solutions to

improve interoperability throughout the State. These recommendations and solutions will be

addressed in detail in a subsequent report.

connectivity. The information analyzed in Task 1 was collected through a survey that

was conducted by the SIEC. The survey was distributed to all known Ohio public safety

administrators (Sheriffs, Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, and EMS Chiefs). The State

received assistance with the compilation and reduction of the raw data from the

University of Cincinnati, Division of Criminal Justice. The UC staff made a presentation

of their initial findings to the SIEC on April 8, 2003.

This report summarizes the work performed and the findings of Task 2 and serves as the

deliverable for Task 2C as well as the final deliverable item for Task 2.

2.3 Task 2A Summary

Task 2A focused on determining the present communications interoperability strengths and

weaknesses between all law-enforcement entities (including State law-enforcement), fire

protection entities (including State Fire Marshall) and all health providers (including emergency

medical services, health care providers, and State and Local Health Departments) within each

county and surrounding counties (including adjoining counties of other states). This task also

addressed the present communications interoperability strengths and weaknesses between all

First Responder entities (law-enforcement, fire and EMS) within each county and surrounding


To address this objective, data was accumulated from the various sources and presented in a

tabulated format on a county-by-county basis. For each county, the interoperability capability is

assessed both within the county and with surrounding counties in each of the following

categories:

1. Law Enforcement

2. Fire Protection

3. Health Providers


For each county the strengths and weaknesses of the existing interoperability capability was


assessment was given to each county in the above four categories. The assessments, with

some modification, are based on the six levels of interoperability originally defined by APCO.

For this report the levels are defined as follows:

The data and assessments derived during Task 2A were tabulated on a county-by-county basis

and presented in a report presented June 29, 2005.

2.4 Task 2B Summary

Report 2B focused on providing a county level report of the present communications systems

utilized by the first responder entities. The report indicated the band of frequencies (VHF low-

band, VHF high-band, UHF and 800 MHz), the system operational platform formats (simplex,

duplex repeater, trunk type), tower site facilities, modulation types, and coded squelch types

utilized by each entity from each of the 88 counties within the State. This data was provided in

a report dated August 31st, 2005.

3. PRESENT INTEROPERABILITY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

3.1 Interoperability Capability Strengths

A number of interoperability capabilities and initiatives already in place in the State of Ohio were

identified during the study. Examples of these are listed below, with a description of each.

3.1.1 Statewide Mutual Aid Channels

3.1.1.1 LEERN Channel

The LEERN (Law Enforcement Emergency Radio System) channel (154.935 MHz primary,

154.68 secondary) is a statewide mutual aid channel used for Law Enforcement. It is typically

monitored in every Ohio county by the State Highway Patrol. Most state prisons and youth

detention centers monitor the frequency, and a few Sheriff's Offices have LEERN base stations.

At one time, almost every law enforcement vehicle in Ohio had direct access to LEERN,

although that has diminished as some agencies have migrated to other frequency bands (i.e.

800 MHz).

This channel is effective when calling for mutual aid or for communication among different law

enforcement agencies on scene during an incident. The channel does have limitations in that

coverage is at the mobile or unit-to-unit level and a unit would be off the home system and not in

direct contact with the dispatcher when operating on this channel.

3.1.1.2 Statewide Fire Mutual Aid

A statewide fire mutual aid channel (154.280 MHz) exists for fire agencies to use for local on-

scene operation. This channel is effective for communication among different fire agencies on

scene during an incident. The channel does have limitations in that coverage is at the mobile or

unit-to-unit level and a unit would be off the home system and not in direct contact with the

dispatcher when operating on this channel.

3.1.1.3 HEAR Channel

The Hospital Emergency Ambulance Radio (HEAR) channels are VHF mutual aid frequencies

(HEAR 1: 155.205 MHz, HEAR 2: 155.34 MHz, and HEAR 3: 155.40 MHz) used by many

ambulance services and hospitals. They are simplex channels available statewide, although

33


there is not a significant amount of infrastructure supporting these channels. These channels

are effective for communication between hospitals and ambulances and health providers.

These channels do have limitations in that coverage is at the mobile or unit-to-unit level and a

unit would be off the home system and not in direct contact with the dispatcher when operating

on these channels.

3.1.1.4 Other Mutual Aid Channels

In addition to the specific VHF mutual aid channels described above, mutual aid channels exist

in other frequency bands as well. Several channels exist at VHF & UHF frequencies (see

descriptions below) and at 800 MHz. At 800 MHz, the National Public Safety Planning Advisor

Committee (NPSPAC) has established five channels to be used for interoperability and mutual

aid purposes. These five channels are the CALL (channel #601) and four TAC frequencies

(channel #s 639, 677, 715, 753). In most areas, the CALL channel and at least one TAC

channel are supported. The State Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) has established

a uniform naming of the 800 MHz mutual aid channels.

3.1.1.4.1 FCC VHF Interoperable Channels

The FCC adopted specific channels within the existing public safety band (150-174 MHz)

resulting from the Refarming proceeding for nationwide interoperability. The FCC also

designated the three VHF channel pairs set-aside for public safety in the VHF maritime band

(156-162 MHz), which are located generally available in the Midwest region of the country, for

interoperability use.

The RTAC channels are only available in the portion of the country that does not border water.

The one VCALL would be simplex. The four VTAC channels could be paired for Mobile Relay

(MR) operation, with the approval of the FCC.

3.1.1.4.2 FCC UHF Interoperable Channels

The FCC adopted specific channels within the existing public safety band (450-512 MHz)

resulting from the Refarming proceeding for nationwide interoperability as shown in the chart

below.

UTAC 2a UTAC 2


UTAC 3a UTAC 3

The availability of these mutual aid channels provides a certain level of interoperability (Level 2

to Level 3, depending on the availability of infrastructure) where they are available. However,

they are primarily used within a given discipline (i.e. LEERN for Law Enforcement, HEAR for

Health Providers/EMS, etc.), and generally do not provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary

interoperability. The effective use of the mutual aid channels also depends on an orderly

assignment of the available channels for an incident to avoid interference with neighboring

incidents using the same channels.

3.1.2 Predominant Frequency Band Within a County

In many counties, a predominant frequency band exists, which the majority of agencies within

the county operate on. The consultants research indicated that out of the 88 counties within

Ohio, 67 of them had what would be consider a “predominant” frequency band in use. This type

of situation aids in interoperability because it enable certain agencies to interoperate with their

neighboring agencies within the county, by simply tuning their everyday radio to an alternate

frequency (Conventional) or talkgroup (Trunking). This is a much more convenient method of

interoperation, than the situation where multiple frequencies exist, and a patrol or fire vehicle

may need to carry multiple radios in order to communicate with other agencies.

It should be noted that this situation provides the opportunity for interagency interoperability, but

that prior planning and coordination of frequencies/talkgroups is still required to achieve this

benefit. In addition, when the user switches the radio to another agency’s frequency/talkgroup,

they are generally no longer in touch with their dispatcher, unless they are operating on a

36


shared trunking system. This method relies on adequate channel capacity which often is not

readily available in the conventional systems.

The consultants determined the following distribution of predominant frequency band for the 67

counties that were identified:

VHF Low Band 2

VHF High Band 37

UHF 10

800 MHz 18

3.1.3 MARCS Radio at Selected PSAPs

The State of Ohio has implemented the Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS)

system, an 800 MHz trunked radio system for use by State agencies, as well as local

municipalities who choose to subscribe to the system. The MARCS system provides effective

mobile level radio coverage throughout the State of Ohio. Currently, in addition to the State

users, all sheriffs’ Dispatch/PSAPs statewide have MARCS radios, as well as all county

Emergency Management Agencies, many emergency medical services, and all hospitals and

health departments. The number of each of these agencies that currently have MARCS radios

are shown below:

Sheriffs’ Offices 88

County EMA 88

Hospitals 172

Health Departments 138

Emergency Medical Services 84

The following interoperability talkgroups have been established for MARCS radio users:

3.1.3.1 MCALL 1 thru 4

These are the MARCS “hailing channels”, assigned in 4 zones to cover the State. These

talkgroups allow any user to call for help from anywhere in the state and are monitored 24/7 by

all OSHP Posts within the physical limits of each zone.

37


3.1.3.2 MCOMM 1 thru 4

These are MARCS generic talkgroups established for any user to be able to talk to any other

user. These talkgroups are NOT monitored by MARCS base locations. Generally, a dispatcher

would direct a user to “go to MCOMM 1 to talk to Officer A,” etc. While each MCOMM has

statewide capability, the theoretical purpose is for “direct” communications in each geographic

Zone.

3.1.3.3 ECOMM 7 thru 28

Theses are MARCS generic “emergency” talk groups. They are to be used to talk to any other

user when involved in a MARCS-coordinated emergency. At a multi-agency scene, Command/

Communications/Control would steer responders to these talkgroups, based on functional work

groups.

3.1.3.4 SCOMM 7 thru 12

These are MARCS generic “emergency” talk groups for communication with the OEMA

Transportable Communication System (TCS). To be used to talk to any other user when

involved in a MARCS-coordinated emergency only when the OEMA TCS is deployed.

3.1.3.5 SO 01 thru SO 88

Each Sheriff’s office in the state is equipped with a MARCS control station radio. These radios

are placed in the communication center of the sheriff’s choice. By calling the alpha-based two

digit county number (e.g. “GPD Car 321 to SO 59”), a user will be communicating with the

Sheriff’s Communication Center. Also, the OSHP post in a county will monitor that county’s SO

talkgroup and those SO talkgroups of adjacent counties.

3.1.3.6 SO Regions

These talkgroups correspond with the geographic regions established by the BSSA and

MARCS during the planning for the MARCS radio installations at each SO. Calling on an SO

regional talkgroup will result in all SO’s within that region being hailed.

3.1.3.7 LECOMM 1 through LECOMM8

These are MARCS non-state agency users generic “emergency” talk groups. They provide the

ability to talk to any other non-state user when involved in an emergency. These talkgroups

are NOT monitored by MARCS control stations.

38


3.1.3.8 8ICALLTA, 8ITAC1TA through 8ITAC4TA.

These are the five National Public Safety Analog Talk-Around Frequencies. All five of these

talkgroups are available for local, off the system, analog “walkie-talkie” communications.

3.1.4 MARCS Radios for Incident Command

Some counties in the State have or are in the process of equipping their primary incident

vehicles, such as fire captain and police supervisor vehicles with MARCS radios to provide for

access to the MARCS system during incident command. This provides these commanders with

direct access to State agencies, as well as the other interoperability capabilities the MARCS

system provides. For example, this initiative is being implemented in Cuyahoga Count for the

suburban fire and police agencies. This initiative will allow a common communications platform

or talkgroup among the suburban agencies responding to an incident at their command level.

Another initiative is being implemented in Stark County where all police and fire agencies are

being issued radios that operate on the County’s 800 MHz trunked system. This is to be for

emergency use only.

3.1.5 Countywide Trunked Systems

In some counties within the State, the county has implemented a countywide radio system for use

by the county agencies and other municipalities as they choose. In every case, these systems

have been implemented at 800 MHz. These systems provide a high level of interoperability,

Level 5 or 6, by allowing all agencies within the county to communicate using a single shared

infrastructure by simply selecting the appropriate talkgroup. While this is an extremely effective

means of providing interoperability at the county level, it is generally very expensive, requires a

significant planning and project management effort, and can take years to implement. In

addition, the individual governmental entities within the county must work collectively

throughout the process. To date, the following counties have implemented such as system:

Belmont, Clermont, Clinton, Franklin, Geauga, Greene

Hamilton, Jefferson, Lake, Miami, Montgomery, Ottawa

Pickaway, Summit, Tuscarawas, Union, Warren

In addition, Butler, Delaware & Lucas Counties are in the process of implementing countywide

trunked radio systems.

39


While all of the above counties have countywide systems, the amount of consolidation of radio

operations onto the county system varies. Two examples are Clermont and Greene Counties,

where the counties operate trunked systems, yet several municipalities still operate independent

conventional infrastructure. In other situations, such as Hamilton and Montgomery Counties,

while the counties operate trunked systems, connectivity with the largest city in the county

(Cincinnati and Dayton) is treated quite differently. The City of Cincinnati and Hamilton

County infrastructures share a common zone controller and are fully interoperable. The City of

Dayton trunked radio system infrastructure and Montgomery County infrastructure are not yet

connected.

In most cases, the transition from individual conventional systems to a shared infrastructure is

time consuming and can be delayed by funding constraints and political pressures. However,

consolidation into a single shared system, or, where capacity needs dictate, separate but

interconnected systems, should be encouraged to enhance interoperability.

3.1.6 Interconnection of Neighboring Countywide Systems

In addition to consolidation and interconnection of systems at the county level, interconnection

and sharing of neighboring systems within a region will enhance interoperability on a regional

level. This may include sharing of frequencies or talkgroups among system of neighboring

counties, or interconnection of the system infrastructures of separate systems. In the case of

shared frequencies or talkgroups, this provides a user who roams into a neighboring county the

ability to access that county’s system directly for communications. The limitation of this method

is that the roaming user will lose contact with their home system when operating on the

neighboring system. In the scenario where the systems are interconnected, the roaming user will

be able to maintain contact with the home system.

There are several locations within the State where compatible systems exist today. Some

examples include Jefferson and Belmont counties, Clermont, Warren and Clinton counties,

Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Pickaway & Union (via MARCS) counties, and others. In these

situations, the capability exists to share talkgroups among these systems and/or interconnect

them to improve interoperability.

40


3.1.7 BSSA Vehicles

The Ohio Emergency Management Agency and the Buckeye State Sheriff's Association (BSSA)

are in the process of deploying a total of 11 interoperability vehicles throughout the State. The

vehicles have communication gear compatible with all radio frequencies, cellular and land

phones, weather monitoring equipment and Internet access. Each of the 11 vehicles will be

deployed in a different county with the responsibility of supporting several counties within its

region. The vehicles will be deployed in Ashland, Athens, Columbiana, Delaware, Geauga,

Guernsey, Hancock, Lucas, Mercer, Montgomery and Ross counties. The vehicles will have the

capability of interconnecting disparate, incompatible systems, either from different entities

within a county, or from neighboring counties.

41


3.2 Interoperability Capability Weaknesses

The interoperability weaknesses and challenges that plague the State of Ohio are similar to

those that affect the majority of first responders throughout the country. The primary technology

challenges result from the fact that first responders operate communications systems on a

variety of different frequencies due to the limited availability of spectrum for first responders.

Additionally, competing technologies and system platforms and a limited adoption of technology

standards to date have exacerbated the compatibility issues among first responder

communications. These issues will be discussed in the following sections.

3.2.1 Radio Spectrum Issues

Radio spectrum is a very limited resource and over the years, the Federal Communications

Commission has taken a number of steps to provide additional radio spectrum to the private

land mobile radio service (PLMRS). These steps have taken various routes, from diverting

spectrum from other services, such as moving a small amount of commercial broadcast

spectrum (UHF TV channels in certain metro areas, and more recently in the 700 MHz band)

and a portion of the amateur radio band to PLMRS. In other cases, the FCC has resorted to

radio channel "splitting" of existing radio channels. This approach requires a modification of

existing equipment or the introduction of new equipment to allow operation on the "new"

narrower band radio channels. Technology improvements have also surfaced that allow more

efficient use of the radio channel. From a system configuration perspective, radio channel

trunking (described earlier in this document) allows for the processing of more radio traffic than

the older, conventional types of radio systems currently used by most first responder agencies.

Going forward, more esoteric technical advancements are currently being developed that will

allow multiple conversations in radio bandwidth that once carried only a single voice

conversation.

At present, from an operational standpoint, most State of Ohio first responder agencies

generally make use of three radio bands for their two-way radio systems. These include:

1. VHF (150-174 MHz)

2. UHF Band (450-470 MHz)

3. 800 MHz (Conventional and Trunked)

The chart below illustrates the amount of spectrum allocated by the FCC for use by public

safety/state and local government agencies.

42


Low Band VHF UHF 800 MHz Band

6.3 MHz 3.6 MHz 3.7 MHz 9.5 MHz 315

Channels 242

Channels 74

Channels 300

Channels

Twenty-three MHz translates roughly into 931 radio channels for all of the bands shown. (Note:

the 220 MHz band is not shown as only 10 channels are available for public safety/state and

local government use. Also, the above does not include the new 700 MHz allocations, which will

be discussed later in this document.)

3.2.1.1 Low Band VHF Radio Channels

Today, many public safety agencies have abandoned this frequency range because of the

problems with 1) long distance interference, known as “skip” which plagues communication

when atmospheric conditions bring in distant stations and mobile units at a stronger level than

local radio units. These interferers can be located hundreds, or even thousands of miles away,

2) high noise levels from manmade sources such as electric motors, automobile ignition

systems, electric lighting, computers and microprocessors, and many other electrical devices, 3)

physical size of the antennas for the portable radios, and 4) lack of features, because many of

the desirable higher level functions and features are only available in systems operating in the

higher frequency bands, such as VHF, UHF, 800 MHz and the new 700 MHz band. Many of the

major manufacturers no longer provide low band infrastructure, (base stations) or have severely

limited their product offering due to the shrinking market and, generally, the remaining products

have very limited features.

3.2.1.2 Spectrum Refarming - The VHF and UHF Bands

In recognition of the growing lack of radio frequency resources, the FCC began an initiative in

the early 1990's to "produce more radio channels" or to effectively increase the number of

channels available to the public. The FCC termed this program as "re-farming", that is, the

current frequency resources would be rearranged or "re-farmed" to produce more radio

channels in the VHF and UHF radio bands. (The re-farming process did not affect the less

desirable low band radio channel allocations).

43


The re-farming concept involved inserting or establishing an interstitial (intermediate) channel

between each of the existing channel allotments. In order to fit between the two existing

frequencies, this newly created frequency would have to be "narrower" and therefore would be

limited to a narrow-band occupancy requirement.

The VHF (150-174 MHz) band follows the same band plan as does UHF with one important

exception. The existing 20 kHz operation already overlaps current 15 kHz allocations. The new

"re-farming" frequencies spaced at 7.5 kHz and operated with 11.3 kHz bandwidth increases the

interference susceptibility. Geographic spacing (separation) between adjacent channel

licensees is the only current means to permit utilization of this spectrum. In urban areas, where

spectrum is needed most urgently, there is usually insufficient separation to utilize the new

narrowband frequencies without causing harmful interference.

In the initial ruling, the FCC did not establish a specific date for licensees to transition to the

narrowband frequencies. However, a date has now been set. Any public safety VHF/UHF pool

licensee must have completed their migration to 12.5 kHz or equivalent narrowband operation

before January 1, 2013. Therefore, this timeline must be a consideration for any first responder

entities currently operating in these frequency bands.

3.2.1.3 800 MHz Band

In the late 1970s, the FCC released some 3.5 MHz of spectrum in the 806-821 MHz and 851-

866 MHz band, which yielded some 70 channels for public safety/state and local government

usage. In some cases, public safety agencies were also able to obtain 800 MHz channels

initially set aside for business, commercial and industrial users in order to supplement the 70

channels. One positive attribute of this band is the orderly allocation of channels and specified

geographical separation of radio systems. This process allowed the implementation of a system

technology known as trunking, which was mandated by the FCC for all systems that employed

five or more channels. (Both conventional and trunked radio systems are described in detail in

the following discussion). Trunked systems allow for the efficient use of radio spectrum and

allow the inclusion of features not normally available in conventional systems.

The 806-869 MHz band is very well suited for use in urban and suburban areas and can be

successfully applied in rural areas if the correct system configuration is implemented. Coverage

in rural areas with rough terrain and heavily forested areas can require that a relatively large

number of sites be implemented in order to receive the desired radio coverage. To the extent

that channels are available, this band is potentially a good supplement to the new 700 MHz

44


band, given that both employ digital technology. In addition, new dual-band radio equipment

provided by the various manufacturers can operate in both the 700 and 800 MHz bands, which

is a significant advantage. Most agencies that have migrated to this band and technology are

not likely to relocate to another band, as these systems generally do a good job of meeting the

individual needs of the users.

In the mid 1980s, as the 70 channels in the 806-821 MHz allocation were exhausted, the FCC

released additional spectrum to public safety/local government agencies in the form of channels

in the 821 to 824 MHz and 866 to 869 MHz radio band. This band, due to a modification of the

channel assignment process, yielded some 230 radio channels for use. Regional Planning

Committees (RPCs) were formed to set system operating standards and allocate the new 821-

824 MHz radio channels.

Although there are specific technical parameters for the implementation of 821 MHz systems,

the operating characteristics of the 821 MHz band are very much like that of the 806 band, and

in some cases agencies use both 806 and 821 MHz radio channels in the same system. One

of the differences between 806 and 821 MHz system is that in the 806 MHz band, radio

channels are generally assigned every 25 KHz, while at 821 the channel assignments are at

12.5 KHz intervals with operating bandwidths of 25 and 20 KHz respectively. The 806 band

generally has more lenient rules for antenna height and effective radiated power, (both of which

impact the amount of radio coverage delivered by a system). 821 MHz systems generally are

constrained in these two areas, which can result in a smaller radio coverage footprint. Each

RPC sets forth the rules by which 821 MHz systems are designed.

Over the years the 800 MHz band has undergone numerous changes with maximum utilization

of the frequency band as a goal of the FCC and of various user groups. Since the band is

shared by public safety, business, commercial, and industrial users, different agendas

concerning the use of this spectrum are present.

The FCC has recently begun the process of rebanding the 800 MHz band. Details of the

rebanding process can be found at www.800ta.org. The potential impact of rebanding should

not be underestimated. In RCC’s opinion, the rules do not adequately protect the licensee from

potential harm during and after the rebanding process, it is incumbent upon the licensee to

protect their interests.

3.2.1.4 700 MHz Band

Most recently, the FCC has reallocated 24 MHz of new radio spectrum in the 700 MHz band for

Public Safety applications. This is a significant event in the communications industry because

there is more radio spectrum available in the new 700 MHz allocations than in all of the Public

Safety allocations in the VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz bands combined. On October 10, 2000, the

FCC also set aside 2.4 MHz (approximately 200 channels) of 700 MHz spectrum specifically for

states to use to develop new statewide radio systems. Beyond that, there are also hundreds of

channels available for cities and counties to use to replace their outdated systems or to join the

State in the development of this system. In addition, the new FCC rules regulating the use and

operation of the 700 MHz channels have been designed in a manner that will help eliminate

many of the operational problems that currently occur in the lower frequency bands.

A portion of the new 700 MHz radio spectrum is currently in use by the television broadcasters

in the United States. Each television station has been allocated a new high-definition television

channel for use by the station to transition its broadcast operations from the current analog

format, which has been in operation for over 60 years, to the new digital high-definition

television format with a transition date of January 1, 2006. However, A TV station will be

permitted to continue analog broadcasting beyond 2006 (and to retain the extra channel it

received from the FCC for the transition) if less than 85% of the households in its market have

at least one of the following: (1) digital TV delivered by cable or satellite, (2) a digital-TV set, or

(3) a box that converts digital-TV signals for viewing on an analog set.

In addition to the primary TV stations, there is a subset of low powered commercial operations

in the 700 MHz band, some of which are minority owned. The low power television operators

and translator stations are now designated as “secondary” users of the reallocated 700 MHz

radio spectrum; behind Public Safety land mobile applications. This means that according to

the FCC, the Public Safety application has priority as “first use” of the spectrum. It should be

noted, however, that there might be significant political impact in displacing the low power TV

operators and the regulatory environment surrounding this issue is somewhat in flux.

It should be noted that there is also some 30 MHz in the 700 MHz band that will be made

available to commercial interests. This spectrum will be allocated (sold) via public auction.

These auctions have been scheduled and then rescheduled due to ongoing issues with the

transition of the 700 band from TV broadcast to land mobile usage.

46


For public safety and state/local government operations, the amount of spectrum being released

translates to some 1920 individual 6.25 kHz frequencies, which yield 960 channel pairs. An

additional 240 wideband (50 kHz) frequencies are part of the allocation. This aggregate

allocation is equal to 3640 6.25 KHz channels.

Regional Planning Committees (RPCs) will allocate most of the spectrum available at 700 MHz.

The RPCs will be formed along the same geographic boundaries as in the 821 MHz band. In

addition, specific spectrum was set aside for use by the states to develop new statewide radio

systems. The block license will permit the operation of any channel at any location in the State

without any further specific licensing. This licensing flexibility is unique in the public safety

band. State use of these channels must wait until radio standards are established, equipment is

type accepted, and TV broadcast issues are resolved.

The National Coordination Committee (NCC) was established by the FCC to solicit input from

the public safety community in the further development of rules governing the new 700 MHz

public safety band, particularly with regard to interoperability. The work of the NCC is extremely

important for many reasons, including the fact that this new band is to satisfy public safety

communications needs well into the 21st century and is intended to provide the capability for a

nationwide public safety interoperability communications system. As part of its charter, the NCC

has released a number of reports to the FCC. Included in the reports were a number of items

including the definition of the parameters for the allocation and use of the 700 MHz band and

the selection of a common air interface for the interoperable (inter-agency) communications

requirement. Many of the technical standards have been approved, including the common air

interface for inter-agency communications interoperability.

The FCC and radio equipment manufacturers are finalizing the details on the specific use and

application of the new 700 MHz radio channels. Today, 700 MHz radio equipment is already

available from the equipment manufacturers and as noted earlier also operates in the 800 MHz

band.

There are regulatory issues still open concerning Mexico and Canada, with the proceeding in

Canada moving forward. This situation may affect the timely release of the 700 MHz band in

regard to the border issues. The only current treaty covering this band exists for TV

Broadcasting and provides protection criteria that extend to a maximum of 250 miles from the

border. It is anticipated that any re-negotiation of this treaty would consider land mobile usage

and reduce the protection criteria considerably.

47


From an historical perspective, even though there are some outstanding technical issues in the

700 MHz band, these are generally resolved. There has been however, apparently less

progress in the business and political aspects of this project regarding the transition of the

spectrum from TV broadcast to land mobile usage, and as a result, availability remains in

question.

Even with the current regulatory uncertainties, there is great promise in the 700 MHz band.

Cities and counties are already beginning the planning process to obtain 700 MHz channels.

The abundant availability of new 700 MHz radio channels, a well-ordered set of technical

operational parameters, and new emerging radio technologies just now making their way to the

marketplace, will drive many Public Safety users to take advantage of the new spectrum and

technologies in the future.

3.2.1.5 Specific Issues Within the State of Ohio

As illustrated in the above discussion, and as seen in the frequency charts presented in this

report, it is not uncommon for different first responder agencies within the State of Ohio to be

using different portions of the frequency spectrum for their communications. All disciplines are

seen to use a variety of frequency bands throughout the State, with anywhere from 17 to 24% of

the counties exhibiting mixed frequency bands even within the county. This provides a major

impediment to interoperation among agencies.

Additionally, when viewed from a multi-disciplinary perspective, a total of 28 counties, or 32% of

the counties in the State have been determined to have no predominant frequency band of

operation. As a result, interoperability between disciplines is seriously affected. Furthermore,

the remaining counties are split in their use of a predominant frequency band as follows:

VHF Low Band: 1%

VHF High Band: 38%

UHF: 10%

800 MHz: 19%

This further complicates a response that involves agencies from several counties.

3.2.2 Technology Compatibility Issues

The opening of the 800 MHz frequency band by the FCC for public safety operation has

provided a great opportunity for expansion of public safety systems and incorporation of new

48


and more advanced features and technology through the use of trunking. However, while this

technology has created some additional opportunities for higher levels of interoperability, it has

also created some impediments due to incompatibilities among manufacturers. The two major

trunking system manufacturers, Motorola and M/A-Com (Formerly Ericsson, formerly GE) have

developed systems using different protocols, and therefore are not compatible with one another.

As a result, the users of these different systems are not able to roam onto a system of the other

manufacturer or share resources between entities. This is exhibited in the interoperability

capability across the State, where we see some counties that have a shared trunking system

exhibit Level 5 interoperability capability within the county, but a reduced level when

surrounding counties are included.

Beginning in 1989, a standard for digital radio and trunking operation was initiated to address

the problems of incompatibility of advanced radio system. Project 25 (P25) is the

interoperability standard for digital two-way wireless communications products and

systems. The P25 standard was created by and for public safety and federal communications

professionals to provide specifications for the design of communications systems so that all

purchasers of P25 compatible equipment can communicate with each other.

The original goals of the Project 25 standards (and their benefits) are to:

o Allow effective, efficient, and reliable intra-agency and inter-agency communications … so organizations can easily implement interoperable and seamless joint communication in both routine and emergency circumstances.

o Ensure competition in system life cycle procurements … so agencies can choose from multiple vendors and products, ultimately saving money and gaining the freedom to select from the widest range of equipment and features.

o Provide user-friendly equipment … so users can take full advantage of their radios’ lifesaving capabilities on the job – even under adverse conditions – with minimal training.

o Improve radio spectrum efficiency … so systems will have enough capacity to handle calls and allow room for growth, even in areas where the spectrum is crowded and it is difficult for agencies to obtain licenses for additional radio frequencies.

P25 is a user driven digital standard specific to public safety applications and is applicable to the

VHF, UHF, 700 & 800 MHz bands. A particular aspect of the standard (the radio-to-radio or

“talk-around” mode) is also the required “interoperability mode” to be used for 700 MHz

systems. Phase I of the standard calls for radio channels to be spaced at 12.5 kHz and

occupying a bandwidth of 11.25 kHz. P25 will provide a data rate of 9600 BPS at 12.5 kHz

49


channel spacing and will support one voice channel. Phase I is essentially complete and a

number of manufacturers have demonstrated and currently provide P25 Phase I conventional

mobiles, portables and fixed equipment (repeater stations).

However, the competition for advanced trunking systems that comply with P25 is limited at this

point. Until recently, only Motorola offered a complete solution that followed the P25 trunking

standard. However, recently, M/A-Com has offered P25 trunking systems at VHF and UHF

frequencies, but not at 800 MHz. Even more recently, EF Johnson has announced P25 trunking

systems.

Within the State, Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati have recently implemented 800

MHz P25 trunking systems. Delaware County is in the process of implementing a countywide

800 MHz P25 trunking system and Lucas County has just entered into a contract with Motorola

for an 800 MHz P25 trunking as well.

It is important to note that there is frequently confusion among radio system users about the

adoption and use of “Project 25”. It is important to note that, while P25 does establish a

common air interface between radio equipment from different manufacturers, it does not specify

a particular frequency band for operation. This means that if an agency operates VHF P25

radio equipment and a neighboring agency operates UHF MHz P25 radio equipment, they still

will not be able to communicate with one another directly by radio because they operate in

different frequency bands. Some form of cross-band patching or linking of the radio systems

will still be required to allow the two agencies to communicate with one another by radio.

3.3 Summary of Strengths and Weaknesses

It can be seen from the discussion above that the challenges to improving interoperability within

the State of Ohio relate to the common problems affecting first responder agencies throughout

the country – incompatible radio systems and multiple frequency bands of operation. There are

numerous variations of these exhibited throughout the State at both the county level and

between surrounding counties, but they all relate back to the same general issues.

As a result, the initiatives that have been put in place to date attempt to address some aspect of

these issues in one way or another. For example, the Statewide mutual aid channels provide a

common frequency for multiple agencies. In addition, the counties that either have a

predominant frequency band or a common shared system or utilize MARCS for interoperability

are addressing these same issues. Furthermore, the potential for interconnection of existing

systems and the BSSA vehicles provide capability for interconnecting systems to overcome

50


these issues. These initiatives provide a basis for enhancement and additional development of

solutions to improve interoperability throughout the State. These solutions will be addressed in

detail in a subsequent report – the deliverable for Task 3.
