Communications, Inc.

2 November, 2009

Capabilities in Brief

Tune, test and repair of Land Mobile Radio

subscriber units

Programming/re-programming subscriber

units to work on federal systems and

local/regional interoperability systems

Program management experience deploying

‘gateways’ for interoperability with local/state

agencies ‘outside the fence’

Capabilities in Brief (more)

Consulting services – Project 25 updates and

procurement documentation review & editing

(Configuration Management)

Simulation of RF coverage using ‘non-

proprietary’ software tools

System ‘drive testing’ and integration of test

data into simulations – comparing actual

system performance vs. ‘idealized’ models

Tune, Test and Repair

Quotes obtained and

resources available for

an R2670B service

monitor and other

essential tools for ‘tune,

test & repair’ of trunked

and conventional

Project 25-compliant

subscriber units

‘Programming’

Radionet Communications has 17 years of experience programming subscriber units for both conventional and ‘trunking’ with vendor-specific software (e.g. Motorola, M/A-COM & EF Johnson)

A note about ‘Programming’

It IS NOT like ‘writing code’ in a ‘high level

language’

It IS easily learned by anyone with even

rudimentary computer skills

But, programmers must have particular

knowledge of frequencies, tones, ID’s and

other characteristics ‘unique to each

system’, to correctly program its subscriber

units

Site Visits for Planning Purposes

Identify ‘Line of Demarcation’ for network

connectivity

Ascertain location and type of existing

dispatch equipment, locations of

repeaters/tower sites and frequencies/PL

tones/other programming parameters

Look for technology reuse opportunities!

Sub Base New London

NOC in separate building from Dispatch Center

Dispatch equipment no longer supported by vendor, complicating audio extraction

But, surplus circuitry on base and unused antennae offered ‘degrees of freedom’ in the design

Similar work at WPNSTA Earle

Similar problems, with

networking equipment

located remotely from

dispatch center – onsite

management to obtain

local circuit support

New tower required for

wireless links to reach

repeaters, also

procured locally

Raytheon/JPS ACU-1000s selected for Interoperability equipment

Quotes obtained after

onsite surveys

completed and

requirements defined

Onsite program

Hardware and Software Configuration

Configuring Interoperability Equipment

Local Dispatcher is now ‘Regional’

Regional Interoperability System Computer Control

Regional Operations Center

Connected to the same

IP network as the

interoperability

equipment, this

computer controls the

network from an office

at WPNSTA Earle.

Similar control point at

Sub Base New London

and NOC in Alexandria

Project 25

Radionet Communications has kept track of

emerging TIA standards, including the latest

addition to the console or ‘fixed station’

interface: TIA-102.BAHA.

This is an important development for

local/state system operators requiring

interoperability with federal systems built to

Project 25 standards.

It lets you do this, now:

WAN

(Radio over IP)

‘Remote’

P25 System

Create interoperability links to P25 neighbors…

…for very little money!

Documentation review and editing

With over 17 years of

experience with Land

Mobile Radio issues,

Radionet

Communications is an

authority you can trust.

Get the best value for

your federal dollars

spent, by having

Radionet review your

documents!

Other Capabilities

Radionet can also provide third-party software analysis of ‘promised’ coverage using open-source simulation tools (shown here: ‘Radiosoft’ ComStudy 2.2).

While all ‘simulators’ are based on mathematical models, some are more ‘optimistic’ than others.

Integrated Drive-Test Data

Radiosoft also allows for the importation of drive-test data, to compare actual field measurements with predicted performance.

This is an invaluable utility for those planning wide-area coverage systems who wish to verify promised coverage.

Procedures and Protocols

While new technology greatly enhances our ability to communicate, lacking proper procedures and protocols for use of these assets – particularly ‘interoperability’ assets -can be disastrous in a crisis situation.

Working with local/state and other federal agencies to obtain the necessary memoranda of agreement and understanding is only part of the equation.

Common language is important, too!

Radionet Communications can:

tune, test, repair and program your

subscriber units

manage interoperability projects with

local/state and other federal agencies

keep you up-to-date on new Project 25

technologies, and review your documents

perform simulations and drive-testing

develop effective procedures and protocols

for emergency communications
