AGENCY NOTIFICATIONS

“Blast Fax” – antiquated technology

Agency identified representative Agency specific sign on to FRES portal

Routine notifications – classes, fundraisers Timely notifications – funerals, class cancellations Emergency notifications – Coverage needed, Weather, etc.

RADIOS

Subscribers for programming

Must be dropped off at FRES to be programmed by SCPD

Radio equipment should be programmed before install

Talk Group agreement between FRES and agency

700/800 MHz System

1995 County built out a 800MHz trunked radio system Transpiration/bus system County Police Department Probation DPW Health & EMS division State and local agencies (NYSPP, MTA, Town/Village PDs

Fire Service opted NOT to move to 800Mhz

700/800 MHz System

Upgrade the 800 MHz system Microwave ring Master core and the RF sites around the county County subscribers, including those issued to EMS Refresh the radio consoles in the county PSAPs

Build out 700MHz system (overlay) Build in redundancy Expand capacity

Sites size

P25 compliance

700/800 MHz System

THERE WILL BE ROOM TO SUPPORT THE FIRE SERVICE ON THE UPGRADED SYSTEM

COUNTYWIDE & TOWNWIDE COMMAND CONTROL CHANNELS

A NUMBER OF FIRE GROUND SIMPLEX 800 CHANNELS FOR SHARED USE

A WORK IN PROGRESS, DEPEND ON THE INTEREST IN THE FIRE SERVICE IN HAVING THIS RESOURCE

BUDGET NOW AND INVEST IN EITHER DUAL BAND OR 800MHz TECHNOLOGY FOR AT LEAST CHIEFS/OFFICERS/CACHE

800 Interoperability

Default programmed in every 800 radio on the system COUNTYWIDE 1 COUNTYWIDE 2 COUTNYWIDE 3 SWN PUBLIC SAFETY 8CALL90 8TAC91(D) 8TAC92(D) 8TAC93(D) 8TAC94(D)

Encourage use in events and training

Request through FRES, coordinated with SCPD

VHF UPGRADE

Future years (2017 and beyond) Refresh MEDCOM system

Primary paging for EMS agencies throughout the county Potential back up alerting system for fire moving forward All ambulances just provided with new equipment Back up system for EMS IVO catastrophic failure 800 system NYS Mutual aid preplan (NYS, VTACs)

Simulcast paging Potentially a two zone system to account for volume

FRES LOW BAND VHF

Outgrown over the years

Departments have migrated away

Obsolete

No support for base stations

MOT discontinued pager production in 2014

Subscriber production in jeopardy

UHF PAGING SYSTEM

Capital Project

Dual zone – simulcast paging system

West zone funded 2015, East zone 2016

Paging frequencies W: 462.9875 E: 453.8750

Initially simulcast, where necessary

move to discontinue low band operation

5 year process, begin to budget for

paging equipment NOW

UHF Interoperability

Advocate programming of the national interop channels in all radios: UCALL40 UTAC41(D) UTAC42(D) UTAC43(D) UTAC44(D)

Program and use in training and event

Coordinated through FRES Communications , and from there, regionally

HR 3630

Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act

Signed into federal law: February of 2012

Allocates 700Mhz “Dblock”(758-763/788-793) create a framework for a nationwide public safety broadband

network Establish the First Responder Network Authority to oversee the

imitative

FIRST NET

Comprised of: Public safety communications specialists Nationwide, regional, rural cell carriers Subscriber manufacturers

Mission: “insure the construction of a nationwide, interoperable

public safety network”

Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) formed 2013

representing all disciplines of public safety

FIRST NET

Leverages regional core systems

Cellular broadband based systems

Priority access* to public safety

Transmission of video, data, etc…

Mission critical radio (future)

HR 3630 Reallocates “TBAND” to commercial use

Now no new licenses in the band

No modifications adding new territory to existing licenses

9 years after enactment (2012+9=2021)

Give back all licenses (470-512)

50 of the 109 fire departments are in TBAND

Need to be planning ahead, partnering with neighbors …

EVAULATE YOUR DEPARTMENT

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY USING?

WILL HR 3630 AFFECT YOU?

WHATS YOUR PLAN?

ARE YOU BUDGETING FOR PAGERS/RADIOS?
