Mobile and Portable Radios


Designed specifically for law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical, military, and
federal agencies, Motorola Project 25 digital radios are the preferred tool of life-saving
professionals. The proposed radios are capable of the most advanced wireless technology
available today, including features such as dual band (700/800 MHz) operation, FDMA/
TDMA dual access capabilities, a robust number of operating modes to enable radio user
interoperability, and over-the-air-programming (OTAP) to facilitate radio management.
Motorola offers several Project 25 subscriber models allowing the City of Rome and Floyd
County the opportunity to select the radio price points and radio features appropriate for
each user.

3
EXPERIENCE: PROVEN TRACK RECORD = LOWER RISK
Not just any company can implement an advanced network of the scale
Floyd County requires and get it right; Motorola’s experience allows us
to exceed your expectations in critical areas as highlighted throughout
our proposal.

Our proposal reflects compliance to the RFP specifications with


special attention to coverage, interoperability, redundancy &
reliability, and future capacity & growth.

Motorola understands the critical importance of coverage to the City of Rome


and to Floyd County. Our design supports your desired level of coverage, which
has been carefully predicted based on decades of experience designing, building,
and delivering two-way radio communications in demanding environments similar
to Floyd County.

Regional interoperability starts with first responders and how compatible


their subscribers perform while on one another’s systems. When roaming to a
neighboring system, unfamiliar functions and sounds can create confusion for the
users, inhibiting the effectiveness of a response. Emergency response efforts
within the region can benefit from deploying a technological platform that is
consistent with other local and regional neighboring systems statewide.

As noted in the RFP, the reliability and hardening of communications network


infrastructure is of critical importance to combat potential acts of vandalism and
regional natural and environment hazards such as fires, floods, and tornadoes. The
Motorola ASTRO solution provides a robust mission critical network with multiple
elements of redundancy to ensure system performance and delivery of your
customer specific capabilities during the most critical times.

Motorola’s proposal directly addresses the RFP requirements for


future capacity and growth on all infrastructure. The City and County
are currently licensed for an adequate number of channels to support current
operational requirements as well as to support future growth. The Motorola
ASTRO solution supports expansion capabilities up to 30 channels per site and
offers easy software migrations to incorporate future P25 standard interfaces
such as Phase 2 TDMA. The Motorola solution is immediately capable of 700/800
MHz operation guaranteeing future expansion utilizing 700 spectrum as it
becomes available.

4
Motorola has designed, manufactured, and installed hundreds of
successful large-scale networks for statewide communications as well
as a host of locally installed and accepted systems. Several of these
local and regional systems are comparable to the scope of the system
proposed. We guarantee that our solution will meet your acceptance
testing requirements and meet your overall system needs.

COVERAGE
The need for enhanced portable radio coverage and audio quality is a key driver behind the Rome/
Floyd P25 project.

The Motorola ASTRO proposal will meet and exceed your current radio coverage requirement for
DAQ 3.4 portable on street and DAQ 4.0 mobile coverage to extend throughout 95% area within
the geographic borders of Floyd County. Motorola’s proposed ASTRO P25 system also guarantees
portable radio communications within the 176 critical buildings located throughout Floyd County
as designated by the City and County. The Motorola proposal further takes into consideration your
future P25 Phase 2 expansion and is designed to meet your Phase 2 coverage expectations.

As noted in your RFP: “The most important aspect of any public safety radio network is coverage
reliability coupled with clearly understood audio quality delivered to users throughout their various
working environments.” Motorola’s linear simulcast design will deliver the required coverage and
audio quality demanded by the City and County public safety agencies.

Motorola’s Coverage Advantage - Linear Simulcast Modulation


Motorola’s P25 digital narrowband system will provide unparalleled coverage in critical buildings
and throughout Floyd County. This will be accomplished using Linear Simulcast Modulation (LSM)
technology. In order to provide more efficient use of the available radio spectrum, APCO’s Project 25
Phase I digital standard requires the use of narrowband 12.5 kHz channels. Without the use of linear
simulcast techniques, narrowband channels have a smaller tolerance for dealing with interference in
overlapping areas. This can reduce the actual usable signal thereby decreasing coverage. More sites
may also be required to achieve the same coverage as a wideband system. To address this issue,
Motorola invented LSM. Motorola is the only company with LSM currently implemented for
Project 25. It provides an excellent technical foundation for guaranteeing a high level of coverage
performance and audio quality throughout Floyd County.

PROJECT 25 AND BEYOND
FUNCTIONALITY BEYOND P25
Motorola has refined the operation of our wide-area trunked radio networks to provide the most
reliable and highest-quality mission-critical voice communications available. There is much more to
making a system work effectively than just using the Project 25 interface. Simply put, not all Project
25 systems are created equal. Years of incremental improvement and product evolution, combined
with an unwavering focus on the details, means our systems will work in the moments that matter
most. Not only does the Motorola ASTRO 25 network meet the P25 standard, but the system
performance has been perfected over decades of experience deploying wide area systems ensuring
optimal performance. Motorola specific features include:

Voice Priority
Motorola’s ASTRO P25 system provides voice priority over data so that emergency calls are not
missed due to a data operation such as Over-The-Air Programming. In a Motorola P25 network,
critical voice calls ALWAYS have priority. Other vendor’s networks cannot deliver this same feature.

Emergency Preemption
Motorola’s system will pass an emergency through right away, even if all the system channels are
busy with other voice traffic. Other systems do not offer the ability to pre-empt an existing call to
ensure an emergency gets through right away, instead users on those systems have to wait for a
voice channel to become available — wasting precious time in an emergency.

Regional Interoperability
Many regional partners that interact with Rome/Floyd during emergency response efforts use
Motorola P25 systems today or are in process of migrating to a Motorola P25 system. As Rome/
Floyd looks to maximize regional interoperability, a Motorola P25 system provides the greatest
overall value. With regional consistency across network platforms and end-user radios, first
responders will know exactly how their radios will work during critical mutual aid scenarios. No
matter the response situation, radio system performance will be second nature to the user. Second
guessing coverage reliability or radio performance during critical moments is NOT an option.

10
WHY MOTOROLA FOR ROME/FLOYD?

1.0  General Proposer Response Provisions 
 
1.1  Purpose 
 
This Specification encompasses a turnkey project to provide the County of Floyd, Georgia with
an APCO P-25 compliant new 800MHz digital simulcast trunked radio network capable of
meeting current and future communication needs, both reliably and functionally. County public
safety agencies, as well as some Floyd County governmental departments, are utilizing a
combination of existing VHF and UHF conventional analog technology that is outdated and
capacity limited, which is no longer meeting the communication objectives of the County.
Understood
A key desire of Floyd County is to transition away from channel inefficient solutions and to
embrace new, emerging radio technology that is in full compliance with Industry-recognized open
standards. A second, critically important aspect of this communications network
procurement involves infrastructure reliability and hardening in response to heightened
terrorism activities, worldwide, and to regional natural and environmental hazards such as
winter type snow or ice storms and tornadoes.
Understood
This Specification defines key functional and technical aspects of a standards-based
enhanced digital radio communications network, aligned toward full Project-25 compliance
within a fixed time period. Public Safety agencies that will immediately utilize this new
digital radio network include the County Fire, Police, and EMS, as well as many of the
Floyd County municipal departments. It is envisioned that other, non-public safety agencies will
likewise participate in this new digital radio network.
Understood
Floyd County recognizes that the most important aspect of any public safety radio network is
coverage reliability coupled with clearly understood audio quality delivered to users
throughout their various working environments. Floyd County appreciates the need for
Proposers to have adequate flexibility in these Specifications, such that proposed solutions can
be technically optimized to meet user desires and coverage expectations. Accordingly, this
Specification does not define a required use of any specific 800MHz antenna site
placement, antenna system hardware or minimum number of sites to achieve the desired
coverage performance. That is, these Specifications are designed to functionally describe user
expectations, reliability and the Floyd’s desire for near-term APCO Project-25 infrastructure
compliance.
Understood
Interoperability between Floyd County first responders and other adjacent municipal and
county jurisdictions is another area of concern that is addressed by these Specifications.

Point-by-Point Response 3-3


Floyd County is also aware that the voluntary development and user adoption of APCO
Project-25 open-standards has been a laboriously slow one. APCO Project-25 standards
develop commenced nearly eighteen years ago and has only has recently achieved the
ratification of switch interconnectivity standards for networks. Additionally, it is recognized that
final development of narrowband Project-25 Phase-II 6.25KHz specifications is nearing
completion.
Understood
Due in large part to the protracted development of Project-25 standards, vendor development of
high-capacity voted/simulcast Project-25 infrastructure solutions (necessary to provide reliable
in-building portable radio support) has been slow and has not achieved the same degree of
competitive availability as exists for VHF/UHF conventional Project-25 needs. Fortunately,
the federal government’s desire for all military and federal agency radio networks to
transition to Project-25 narrowband technologies has fueled both the standards- completion
process and has accelerated development of complex network infrastructures, inclusive of
simulcast technology, by the radio vendor community.
Understood
Following the federal government’s lead, it is perceived that significant and tangible
improvements to local-area 700/800MHz operations as well as wide area interoperability can
be achieved, minimally, through the application of Project-25 technologies. This
Specification addresses those functional, operational, and to a limited extent, technical
requirements for Floyd's envisioned new Project-25 digital radio communications network.
Understood
 
1.2  Instructions 
 
This Specification is a complete document and must be returned intact as well as
any addenda, which are released subsequent to the issuance of this Specification package.
The RFP Authorization Form in Section 16 must be completed. The Appendices do not
need to be returned. All responses and attachments should be placed into the RFP
Response immediately behind the page, on which the information was requested, in the
form of a point-by-point response. Supplementary material may not be substituted for
direct responses to questions.

Per Addendum 1, released October 21, 2010:

Question:
1. Will the County accept point-by-point responses submitted following each paragraph in lieu of
each page as long as the vendor responds to the RFP in its entirety? Alternatively, will the County
allow the vendors to alter the RFP so that requirements that currently are broken apart from one
page to the next fall entirely on one page?
Response: Yes, this is acceptable.
Harris Question:
1. Section 1.2 contains instructions on the format of the response. Inserting responses immediately
after each RFI Specification page may detract from the flow of the information and is a manually
intensive process. May we submit our responses in the more commonly used format of inserting

1.4  Proposer Standards 
 
The Proposer must have manufactured, delivered and installed several radio systems of
equivalent technology (700/800MHz IMBE digital voice simulcast transmit/receiver voted)
having comparable size and scope. Proposer's referenced systems shall be described with
enough information that Floyd County or its Consultant can reasonably determine their
project equivalency. The Proposer shall prepare a summary report for a minimum of three of
the installed and fully operational systems that best emulates that being proposed for Floyd.
These reports should include a detailed summary of the system and its significant operational
features/components as well as a current customer contact including name, address, and
phone number, title, department and system responsibility.
Comply
Motorola exceeds the above stated requirements.
Motorola has deployed more local, regional and statewide systems - including 243 P25 trunked
systems – than any other vendor with a 100% system acceptance rate. We are the vendor of choice
for 32 of the 37 statewide systems currently in place. Motorola is including a significant number (
or we can insert our total count here ) of Project 25 references that reflect comparable size and
scope and many that exceed the size and scope of the proposed Floyd County network. The
references provided reflect key elements required by the Floyd County RFP including 700/800
P25 capabilities, simulcast operation, challenging coverage environment, skillful and timely
implementation and most importantly customer satisfaction. Please refer to Section 4 of the
Technical Proposal for the detailed system summary information.
Radio spectrum allocations now occupied by commercial television broadcast interests
within the 700MHz band have become available solely to public safety operations.
Proposers will likewise be required to provide sufficient information necessary to support
claims that both proposed infrastructures and user equipment will be functionally and
operationally compatible with these new channels (764-767MHz and 773-776MHz, paired with
794-797MHz and 803-806MHz, respectively). Failure to propose equipment capable of
operations on this new spectrum shall be considered non-responsive and that proposal
submittal shall be given no further consideration.

Comply
All Motorola’s proposed infrastructure and user equipment is functionally and operationally
compatible with both 700 and 800 MHz operation, including the new channels (764-767MHz and
773-776MHz, paired with 794-797MHz and 803-806MHz, respectively) without hardware
modification.
Motorola is the only responding radio manufacturer currently offering this capability without
hardware modification. The specification sheets provided in Section 14 provide detailed
documentation.
A factory authorized service center that is fully staffed and trained to support the proposed
infrastructure network, and all related subsystem equipment, must be located within the 100
miles of Floyd County and duly registered and licensed to conduct business within the State of
Georgia to be considered adequate to satisfy initial installation, implementation,
optimization, warranty and ongoing maintenance needs. The Contractor and all
subcontractors, if any, must be able to legally conduct business within the State of Georgia.

3-16 Point-by-Point Response


If the County is looking for a foundational ASTRO System Manager Overview prior to the CDR,
Motorola would like to ask the County to consider alternative training opportunities. 1) We can
offer a 1-2 day tailored ASTRO Technical Overview, 2) There are two ASTRO System Overview
courses that are offered online/self-paced and can be completed at any time, and 3) With
customer approval, we can offer System Manager Orientation type training on one of the
neighboring ASTRO P25 Systems (e.g. TVRS in Chattanooga, TN, Cobb County, GA, Carroll
County, GA or Forsyth County, GA).
Response: No training prior to the CDR is required.

Comply
Motorola exceeds the above stated requirements.
Tennessee Valley Radio System (TVRS) has agreed to allow Motorola to host a system
overview/system manager orientation to aide in the preparation for the Customer Design
Review.

The Contractor shall provide comprehensive maintenance training whereby County


service/support personnel are qualified in the proper diagnostic, maintenance and repair
service skills needed to quickly resolve P-25 700/800MHz communications equipment
malfunctions as well as microwave backhaul operational problems. The Contractor shall
provide operational and full maintenance training for all County radio maintenance
personnel, either on site or at remote factory locations. This level of training will be
essentially equivalent to the level of service training required by the Contractor for its
proposed Maintenance Providers. Additionally, the Contractor shall develop and train radio
maintenance personnel in those aspects of maintenance necessary to ensure the highest
availability and reliability of infrastructure and subscriber equipment resources. Preventive
maintenance training shall encompass all elements of supplied infrastructure equipment,
inclusive of standby generator equipment, battery plants, battery charging systems, tower light
systems, site grounding systems, alarm systems and all other subsystems directly or indirectly
related to infrastructure reliability and operations.

Response: Yes, the County does have training rooms available.

Comply
The Contractor agrees that the Consultant and appropriate Floyd County personnel will be
permitted to observe user equipment installation, network implementation and all
optimization/testing phases.
Comply
The Contractor agrees that, upon network system acceptance, designated Floyd County
maintenance personnel shall be provided with security and access codes, which will allow
Floyd County to make routine operational changes and conduct radio profile maintenance. The
Contractor shall continuously notify Floyd County of any computer and radio network software
code revisions and any recommended equipment modifications. All such code revisions,
upgrades and modifications shall be automatically incorporated into the project, through the
commencement of acceptance testing and up to the date of formal system acceptance.
Comply

The Contractor shall coordinate with Floyd County all training sessions. All training must be
approved by the County. Dispatch, users/operators, maintenance personnel and network
manager follow-up training shall be provided and scheduled no more than ninety (90) days after

1.13  Parallel Implementation 
 
The new network must be installed in a parallel implementation. That is, infrastructure
equipment will be fully installed and operationally ready before the existing analog voice
system can be decommissioned. The current VHF/UHF conventional analog systems are the
only Public Safety Voice communications systems and must operate 24/7/365. No
interruptions in service of any duration may be allowed without prior approval of the Floyd
County or their designee. Therefore, fully duplicated voice radio systems will coexist for some
period of time. The period of time of parallel installation will be used to perform testing of
operational functionality of the entire network, dispatch consoles, mobiles, portables,
network features, high capacity receiver-voting and simulcast transmitter operations.
After the new network has been tested on a subset of radio channels and later accepted, the
Contractor must remove the existing decommissioned VHF/UHF system mobile equipment,
inclusive of any antenna system components and power/control wiring, as identified and
directed by the Floyd County designee.
Per Addendum 1, released October 21, 2010:

3-18 Point-by-Point Response


Response: The County will have a designated storage area for the decommissioned equipment.

Comply
Since existing dispatch console equipment will potentially control the old system during the
parallel phase, the Contractor is responsible for developing a plan to accommodate both
existing and proposed systems during the parallel and transitional periods of installation and
implementation.

Comply
Detailed migration plans for all subsystems are identified in the Cutover Plan, which is provided
in the Statement of Work, Section 9.
 
1.14  Manufacturer Support 
 
Proposers shall provide a letter from sub-system manufacturer(s) which guarantees
manufacturer's support in the case of any conditions or problems which can not be remedied by
the Contractor or in case the Contractor defaults on its warranty and/or maintenance
agreements.

Comply
The required letter is provided at the end of this subsection.

1.15  Parts Availability 
 
The Proposer shall provide written guarantee that all proprietary backbone components and
repair parts shall be available for at least fifteen (15) years from the date of network
acceptance. End user equipment (i.e. portables, mobile, etc.) repair parts shall be available for
at least five (5) years from the date of cessation of equipment manufacturer.

Comply
Motorola will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide replacement parts for Motorola
manufactured subscriber equipment for five years and for Motorola manufactured fixed
infrastructure equipment for seven years, both from the date of last manufacture. Motorola
reserves the right to supply either assemblies or piece parts.
Proposers shall fully disclose the end-of-life status of each major equipment grouping
proposed in response to this Specification. That is, end-of-production dates should be
provided, minimally, for base stations, microwave radios, network controllers, power
supplies, dispatch consoles, audio switches, simulcast optimization subsystems and all
models of user equipment. It is the intent, to the maximum extent possible, for Floyd
County to avoid the purchase of any network equipment that is nearing (within 24 months) the
end of its production cycle.

Point-by-Point Response 3-19


Comply
Motorola will comply with the following clarification:
Motorola is committed to supporting the ASTRO 25 platform for an extended period of time.
Support coverage for the platform is aligned with the typical system lifespan customers’ experience
which often spans across multiple decades. To sustain the platform lifespan, Motorola makes on-
going investments to regularly refresh the underlying components to address normal technology
obsolescence and apply security safeguards. Certain components within the platform are expected
to undergo more regular updates, while others are expected to be available for 10 or more years
from initial availability. A primary goal of technology refreshment is to maximize backward
compatibility with major hardware components to maintain equivalent system functionality, thus
mitigating the need to replace the entire platform.
Motorola will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide replacement parts for Motorola
manufactured subscriber equipment for five (5) years and for Motorola manufactured fixed
infrastructure equipment exclusive of third party IT equipment (e.g. servers, pc’s) for seven (7)
years, both from the date of last manufacture. By making regular system updates, customers can
extend their support period well beyond these timelines.
Although there is no planned end of life date for the ASTRO 25 platform, based on the current
platform roadmap Motorola expects to continue to support ASTRO 25 system releases and
subsystem components through at least the end of 2025. Due to the pace of technology
advancement and standards updates, it is difficult for any technology platform to forecast beyond
5 to 7 years. In the coming years, Motorola will be able to look beyond the 2025 date and will be
able to update our ASTRO 25 customers accordingly with platform support timelines.
1.16  Warranty of Network Performance 
 
In submitting their Proposal Response, the Proposer acknowledges that it has carefully
reviewed the functional requirements and warrants to Floyd County that the 800MHz P-25
radio network installed shall function according to equipment specifications, industry
standards and the minimum operative characteristics specified in Sections 4.0 and 5.0 of this
Specification.
Comply
The Contractor is further responsible for providing radio network coverage as specified in
Section 7.0. All costs incurred in order to comply with the functional, operational and
technical requirements of this Specification shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

Omission in the Proposal Response of any equipment, services or provisions herein
prescribed shall not be construed so as to relieve the Contractor of any responsibility or
obligation necessary to the complete and satisfactory installation of any and all systems,
equipment, and services specified. The network price and any optional prices quoted must
include all equipment, service, features, materials, labor, etc. necessary to make all the
features, services, and equipment, which are included, fully functional. The Proposer agrees that
the cost of additional equipment, materials, or labor necessary to meet these
requirements, which was not otherwise calculated in his Proposal Response, shall be solely at
the Contractor's expense.
Comply

Each Proposal Response must be signed by a duly authorized officer who is empowered to
contractually bind the Proposer.

shall covenant and agree to indemnify and hold Floyd County harmless against any loss,
damage liability, cost, penalty or expense, including attorney's fees, which it is not otherwise
agreed to by Floyd County in the equipment Contract and which is incurred and arises upon
a failure of Floyd County to appropriate funds in the manner described herein for a
continuation of the Contract or exercise of the option to purchase the equipment.
Comply
Motorola is providing a general indemnity for performance of the work in its response. Motorola
understands the non-appropriations clause above, however, complies with the understanding that
it does not agree to the following, requests that it is deleted, and Motorola does not understand
why a vendor would have to indemnify a customer for the customer’s failure to have or continue to
have funding: “The Contractor shall covenant and agree to indemnify and hold Floyd County
harmless against any loss, damage liability, cost, penalty or expense, including attorney's fees,
which it is not otherwise agreed to by Floyd County in the equipment Contract and which is
incurred and arises upon a failure of Floyd County to appropriate funds in the manner described
herein for a continuation of the Contract or exercise of the option to purchase the equipment.”
Motorola understands that if funding is not appropriated, the County will have to terminate the
contract. The County will only need to notify Motorola promptly and pay for all equipment and
services up to the date of termination, Motorola will agree to cease work, shipments, and use
reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages caused by an abrupt termination.

3.0 Identified User Needs


3.1  General 
 
The Floyd County, Georgia has operated a legacy VHF/UHF analog conventional networks
supporting public safety users for over 20 years. The issues with this system are interoperability,
call waiting and radio propagation coverage. As a result of the lack of interoperability and
coverage County firefighters, sheriff’s deputies, medical responders, police and the E911
dispatchers had to resort to relaying messages through whoever could hear the call in other
agencies or by depending on cell phones instead of their radios. This event underscored the
difficulties in coordinating efforts between agencies in areas of the county where there is little to
no radio communications coverage. These capacity and coverage deficiencies must be resolved
by the newly proposed 800 MHz P-25 compliant radio network.
Understood
A full description of the network’s current configuration is described by the Specification
Document in Section 2. Proposers are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review that information
and to conduct as many on-site inspections as necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding
of existing-network performance. It is critically important to the success of this digital P-25
project that Proposers have a clear understanding of expectations and to propose a comprehensive
set of equipment and services that fully satisfy and expand upon this network’s baseline level of
performance.
Comply
3.2  Public Safety Needs 
 
3.2.1 Talk Paths

Each of the Public Safety agencies utilizes individual analog conventional channels that are
optimized for existing operations. Additionally these agencies share several channels that allow
for some interoperability between agencies during special events and local-area emergencies. For
the purpose of this RFP, Proposers shall develop new profiles, plus a nearly 100% future
growth factor, in the development of their proposed solution.
Comply

3.2.2 Automatic Telephone Interconnect

The new system shall incorporate a limited number of telephone gateways and telephone-
interconnect features for emergency operations use. Limitations must include the ability to
dynamically control the total number of lines available, priority allocation by user, and call
duration restrictions according to user priority. In addition, the availability of telephone
interconnect features shall be continuously monitored and controlled by the County radio
network manager. That is, as dispatch-traffic activity increases on the system, the availability of

3-38 Point-by-Point Response


telephone interconnect features must correspondingly be restricted. This shall be accomplished in
such a manner that degradation in system access time is solely a function of the total number of
users attempting to pass voice traffic at a given period in time and not a result of channels
dedicated to telephone transactions. The telephone interconnect feature is considered of
significantly lesser importance to clear or encrypted voice communications.
Per Addendum 1, released October 21, 2010:
Question:
2. What type of phone lines are going to be interfaced to the Radio Network? Analog (POTS)
Digital (PBX) or VoIP?
Response: The types of phone lines that will be interfaced into the radio network are analog.
Comply
Motorola’s Dynamic Resource Manager has been included.
For the purpose of sizing the telephone interconnect subsystem’s hardware components, a
maximum of four simultaneous telephone interconnect calls shall be supported.
Comply
The proposed system includes four analog (POTS) line interfaces.
3.2.3 Call Privacy

Floyd's existing VHF/UHF analog conventional radio network is intrinsically open to


transmission monitoring with any radio equipment operable on those VHF/UHF frequencies (i.e.,
scanning receivers, etc.).
Understood

The ability to monitor in certain instances is desirable and encouraged. Dispatchers, in


addition to their normal dispatch function can also monitor unit-to-unit traffic. This ability to
monitor allows the dispatcher to develop a mental picture of ongoing operations. In times of
emergency, where public safety personnel may need outside assistance, the dispatcher often has
heard and remembered information critical to personnel safety that would otherwise have been
unavailable.
Understood
Likewise, field users can hear on-frequency traffic and modify their use of the radio as
conditions dictate. As an example, when emergency calls are in progress, channel protocol
would require users to refrain from lower-priority transmissions. Competition for air-time may
increase, but users moderate calls, both in frequency and duration, in response to simply
hearing more channel activity. In such a situation, the ability to monitor is desirable.
Comply
In the present analog conventional VHF/UHF radio system, it is impossible to control who
monitors calls outside of the network. Command and investigative conversations may involve
topics of a legally restricted or sensitive nature where eavesdropping by outside, unidentified
persons is undesirable or unacceptable.
Understood
Accordingly, the new digital voice radio network shall include provisions for call privacy
whereby identified users within the network can be excluded from certain talk groups or
individual conversations. This provision must offer sufficient flexibility such that the desirable

Motorola Confidential Restricted Floyd County, Georgia

Point-by-Point Response 3-39


features of monitoring can be retained while permitting privacy to conversations that are
potentially confidential. Finally, the new network shall incorporate technical features that prevent
unauthorized listeners from monitoring any network calls. Ideally, the new network should
inhibit the ability of non-network users from monitoring actual voice transmissions of any type
(inclusive of telephone interconnect calls) as well as preventing such persons from monitoring
those call assignments transacted via the network’s digital control channel.
Comply
Proposers shall describe the scope and operation of such provisions inherent within their
proposed solution that prevent the types of undesired radio monitoring discussed above.
Comply
Radio subscribers, console dispatch positions, and telephone interconnect equipment has been
priced to include AES encryption, which can be utilized to provide end-to-end call privacy.
Conversations with essential personnel can be restricted using ASTRO 25 features, private call,
and dynamic regrouping.
3.2.4 Encryption

Digital voice encryption, using Improved Multi-band Excited (IMBE) vocoder technology
coupled with federally approved digital encryption schemes, is a required feature of the new
network.
Comply
Motorola’s APX radios and MCC 7500 dispatch consoles are equipped with the P25 Enhanced
dual-rate vocoder, which is backwards compatible with the P25 IMBE vocoder.
Three modes of encrypted digital voice operation are desired:

1. Unit-to-unit, where conversations in an encrypted talk group are secure. These cannot
be monitored at a dispatch or control point.
Comply
2. Dispatcher-to-unit, where conversations between the County’s E911 Center, future
Backup 911 Center and field units are secure.
Comply
3. Unit-to-telephone network, where conversations between encrypted units and the
switched telephone network are secure.
Comply
The new network shall provide encrypted transmission so that system access delays are equal to
those in the clear mode. Encrypted transmissions shall not degrade the operation of clear- voice
features nor lengthen system access or audio transport delays to other users. Encryption shall not
degrade the range or coverage less than normal digital performance.

Question:
3. Is the P25 Compliance Assessment Program (CAP) test program acceptable for demonstration
that at least three different vendors’ radios work on our P25 Network?
Response: Yes, P25 Compliance Assessment Program (CAP) testing results will be acceptable.

Comply
Motorola fully supports and participates in the P25 Compliance Assessment Program (CAP) that
is being facilitated by the Department of Homeland Security DHS). This testing program requires
the testing of equipment in NIST assessed, DHS approved P25 Test Laboratories. Motorola had
one of the first DHS approved CAP laboratory test facilities. Verification of Motorola’s
compliance to the P25 CAP testing program is documented in the SDOCs and STR documents.
Official SDoCs and STRs for all of the documentation relating to Motorola’s P25 CAP tested
equipment is provided in Appendix A. This information is also available for download on the
Responder’s Knowledge Base (RKB) website www.rkb.us.
Police communications needs have generally shifted from patrol car based, with equipment fixed
within vehicles to patrolman based where portable equipment is assigned to individual officers.
These same user trends exist within the Fire Service and related public safety agencies.
Understood
This migration to portable units, with their reduced output power and often-degraded antenna
performance, has placed greater technical demands on radio communications network
infrastructures. The coverage needs for mobile-based systems are relatively straightforward as the
available effective radiated power from a mobile unit can closely approach that of a base
station. Talk-in/talk-out balance can thus be easily achieved with simple backbone system
configuration.
Understood

Portable radio coverage problems are further compounded by the fact that users often operate
within radio-resistant areas such as warehouses, office buildings, apartment structures and single-
family dwellings. The need for reliable communications within building structures requires
increased talk-in/talk-out system gain.
Understood
Further complicating the design of portable-based systems are desired mechanical and ergonomic
features, as summarized below:
Understood
1. The radio package, itself, must be simple to operate and have a minimum of
operator controls or feature selections.

3.2.6 Interoperability

As this new network’s coverage footprint will duplicate or partially overlap outside-of- network
agency radio communication systems, direct unit-to-unit interoperability is a desired feature.
Special talk groups must be provided so that certain public safety users can have access to
outside-agency radio networks, regardless of frequency band or communications technology in
place.

6.0  Infrastructure System Configuration 
 
6.1  General 
 
Floyd County has two existing 800MHz licenses for this project, WQLD890 which is licensed for
18 frequency pairs between 806 – 809MHz and WQKA969 which is licensed for 2 frequency pairs
above 809MHz. The winning vendor will be required to do all the license modifications.
Comply
Proposers are required, by Section 6.2, to provide a comprehensive functional and technical
proposal for a multi-site Project-25 compliant 800MHz simulcast trunked radio network. This
radio network should be deployed to operate as a P25 Phase 1 FDMA system. In addition,
this 800MHz radio network is required to be capable of doing both P25 Phase 1 FDMA & P25
Phase 2 TDMA without the elimination or addition of any existing hardware.
Comply
The proposed Phase 1 FDMA system infrastructure can be upgraded to Phase 2
TDMA via a software upgrade. Pricing for the Phase 2 TDMA software upgrade
has not been included.
Phase 2 TDMA uses different vocoders from Phase 1 FDMA. Consequentially, in
Floyd County, there is a difference between inbound coverage between FDMA
and TDMA. To better equalize the coverage between FDMA and TDMA, Motorola
has included a receive branch diversity tower top amplifier (TTA). Should the
County elect to upgrade to TDMA, a second receive antenna and would need to be
added which would utilize the included branch diversity TTA. A non-diversity
tower top amp would need to be replaced when upgrading to TDMA. Motorola

Point-by-Point Response 3-57


The new digital voice network shall utilize the necessary number of infrastructure sites, as
determined by the Proposer, to meet Floyd County’s coverage requirements.
Comply
Proposers shall indicate a guaranteed level of portable and mobile area coverage and delivered
audio quality indicative of their design. Alternative multi-site design submittals using radio
technologies other than a spectrally efficient simulcast prime component will not be considered as
acceptable. The topography of Floyd County, coupled with user expectations for highly-reliable
portable radio coverage within buildings, can be most efficiently and optimally resolved using the
inherent antenna space diversity and receiver- voting characteristics intrinsic of simulcast
trunked radio configurations as compared to multisite-switched trunked radio configurations.
Per Addendum 1, released October 21, 2010:
Question:
4. Section 6.0 states that alternative multi-site design submittals using radio technologies
other that simulcast prime components will not be acceptable. Section 6.2.1 states that
alternative multi-site design submittals using radio technologies other that simulcast prime
components will be acceptable. Section 6.2.1 then states that proposers should submit a
proposal options for a full simulcast system and a hybrid system with two sites having a
multisite configuration. Please clarify conflicting requirements.
Response: Correction, Rocky Mt. & Scout Camp sites have the proposal option of being part
of a full simulcast design and part of a hybrid multi-site/simulcast design.

Comply
The Contractor shall furnish and install all wiring hardware, cable trays, interface electronics,
terminal blocks, and materials necessary to complete the successful implementation and operation
of this site and its equipment groupings. Infrastructure equipment proposed for the Control Point
must meet the minimum requirements specified by Sections 5 and 6.
Comply
It is acceptable for the Control Point site to also serve as a co-located simulcast radio site.
However, Floyd County has expressed concern over the potential vulnerability of a single
Control Point location, as it could inadvertently become a single-point failure mode for the new
digital radio network. Therefore, Proposers are required to incorporate an optional dual-Prime
Site, Redundant Control Point design into their proposed solution. This submittal requirement is
mandatory and those proposals failing to include such a dual-site redundancy option will be
considered as being unresponsive to these Specifications.
Comply
The prime simulcast control site provides the simulcast synchronization and
receiver voting selection for the system. Motorola has provided an optional dual-
Prime site to be located at the Floyd 911 center. This option will allow this site to
assume the control of the simulcast system in the event that the Mt. Alto prime site
is rendered out of service. Since multiple redundancies have been built into the
system, the dual-Prime will require manual activation by someone at Floyd 911.

6.2.3 Typical Simulcast Infrastructure Site Deployment

Proposers are required to supply, turnkey, all technical support, equipment, material and labor
necessary to develop each proposed simulcast infrastructure site into a functional P-25 800MHz

the current analog simulcast system. The network connections are distributed in
an odd channel and even channel configuration for redundancy

Infrastructure equipment proposed for all simulcast sites must meet or exceed the minimum
requirements specified by Sections 5.0 and 6.0.
Comply
6.2.4 Site Power Systems

The digital radio infrastructure sites shall operate from a 24VDC or 48VDC power source, sized
to sustain full trunked-feature operation for a minimum eight-hour period. The battery system
shall utilize sealed lead-calcium cells and 100% redundant battery charger components rated
for telecommunication service. An automatic low voltage disconnect device shall be provided to
protect the battery plant from discharge-related damage. Electrical power switching/disconnect
capability shall exist at all sites such that rectifiers, batteries as well as commercial power
sources may be separately isolated in a manner whereby each component may be worked on
safely. This switching/disconnect capability shall be designed and configured such that radio
network operation is unimpaired and uninterrupted during any repair or maintenance cycle.

Comply
Motorola’s design incorporates a -48 VDC power system for all prime and remote site
equipment. The majority of equipment: base radios, remote site gateways, GPS
frequency standards, TTAs and alarm Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) operate directly
from -48 VDC. The prime site routers and LAN switches operate from 120 VAC only
and thus will be powered by inverters that will be powered from the -48 VDC source.
Motorola’s charger-rectifier design incorporates the noted disconnects so the batteries
may be tested and charger-rectifier may be serviced.

Repeater stations shall be housed in forced-air ventilated equipment cabinets. Cabinets shall be
free standing and incorporate drilled rails to accept standard 19” rack panels.
Comply
A minimum of six DC-operated repeater stations shall be housed in any equipment cabinet. No
more than eight repeater stations should be located within a single equipment cabinet. Each
cabinet shall be power-supported by redundant, metered DC/DC power converters (if required
by equipment design) sufficient to sustain the continuous operation of all repeater stations
installed within that one cabinet.
Per Addendum 3, released November 19, 2010, Question 4:
Question:
4. Section 6.2.4 paragraph 3 states that 6, 7, or 8 repeaters must be housed in a single equipment
cabinet. If a loading analysis shows only 9 channels are required (for example), could this
requirement be modified to allow fewer than 6 repeaters in a single cabinet?
Response: If a site requires more than eight repeater stations, distribution of the repeater stations
in the equipment cabinets should be as equal as possible. Sites requiring less than six repeater
stations should use only one equipment cabinet to house the repeater stations.

Comply
Each Simulcast site has two cabinets, with 5 repeaters in each cabinet

Each equipment cabinet shall incorporate a circuit-breaker power distribution panel incorporating
protection for power amplifier, exciter and receiver groupings. Individual repeater station
ventilation fan(s), if required, shall be DC powered and thermostatically controlled.
Additionally, each cabinet shall be equipped with a DC-operated fan and air filtration
components. Each equipment cabinet shall be protected by a DC-power circuit breaker, sized
for nominal load plus 35% overload factor.
Comply
The primary battery chargers, low voltage disconnects and a primary DC circuit breaker panel
shall be installed in a freestanding enclosed relay rack unit. Likewise, the system controller
and console/audio controller equipment shall be housed in freestanding equipment cabinets
similar to those used for repeater stations.
Comply
Each controller shall be powered either directly from the DC Battery Plant or by individual,
redundant DC/120VAC power inverters whose minimum site/system capacity shall be twice that
of calculated controller loads, i.e., if calculated controller load is 1KW the inverter shall be rated
for no less than 2KW.
Comply
Site Controllers are 48VDC powered directly from the DC plant

Auxiliary site loads essential to proper system operation, i.e. tower-top preamp, redundant GPS
reference oscillators and receiver multi-coupler, shall be interconnected directly to the site's
battery system. Additionally, the redundant GPS reference oscillators shall have a properly
sized UPS between the oscillator and the battery supply.
Comply
The GPS frequency standards utilize a -48 VDC source and have redundant power
modules (separate DC breakers on the charger-rectifier), thus a UPS is not used.

6.2.5 Infrastructure Functionality

The proposed digital radio solution shall utilize a P-25 Common Air Interface (CAI) digital
control channel scheme, whereby user-initiated feature requests and talk group/working
channel assignments are processed digitally over a single control channel. The remaining
channels shall operate as working channels for analog or digital voice traffic.
Comply
The proposed Motorola design is a fully Project 25 compliant system as required by
this RFP. The system does not provide analog trunked operation as this is not part of
Project 25.

Use of infrastructure solutions involving embedded control signaling in lieu of this single
digital control channel concept are contrary to Project-25 requirements and are not acceptable.
Additionally, the single digital control channel shall have a level of redundancy sufficient to
meet the overall requirements and intent of this specification for a no-break, life- critical radio
communications network. Redundant control channels must automatically rotate in sequence
to “exercise” this support capability in a controlled scheme. When not in use as a control
channel, the previously-assigned control channel will operate in the trunked pool of digital voice
channel.
Comply
The proposed solution must be robust in design to assure continued operation should any of the
following failures (or combination thereof) occur:

A. Loss of transmitter(s) operation


B. Loss of receiver(s) operation
C. Failure of dispatch console terminal(s)
D. Failure of console/audio controller
E. Failure of one site controller
F. Loss of DC-DC power converter(s)
G. Failure of entire single site.
H. Loss of Control Channel(s)
I. Loss of Prime Site/Control Point
J. Loss of single/multiple microwave path connectivity
Comply
Proposers shall furnish a description of the effect each of the above listed failure modes
would have on their proposed network configuration. Proposers shall also describe appropriate
mitigation/restoration steps to return the network to full operational capability in response to
each of the above listed failure conditions.
Comply
The following describes the effects of the above failures on the proposed system:
A. Loss of transmitter(s) operation - Channel(s) are taken out of service system
wide until repaired.
B. Loss of receiver(s) operation - Channel(s) are taken out of service system wide
until repaired.
C. Failure of dispatch console terminal(s) - The console operator position(s) are
out of service until repaired.
D. Failure of console/ audio controller - The Motorola system has no
console/audio controllers since it is a totally IP based infrastructure. The Zone
Core has all of the servers that operate the IP system. If connection to the Zone
Core is lost or the Zone Core is down, Motorola has provided backup control
stations for each console position per the RFP.

3-68 Point-by-Point Response


E. Failure of one site controller - The prime site is the only site that has site
controllers. The remote sites have no site controllers. The prime site controller
(GCP8000) configuration is fully redundant (two complete controllers). If one
should fail, the standby takes control. This is transparent to the users on the
system.
F. Loss of DC-DC power converter(s) - The Motorola design uses redundant
Charger-Rectifier configuration that has multiple power modules that are
independent of each other. If one should fail, the others can handle the load.
Motorola has used inverters in the N+N configuration (for routers and LAN
switches on the prime and remote sites), the failure of one inverter will not impact
the Trunking system.
G. Failure of entire single site. – Only the failed single remote site will be affected,
the remaining remote sites will remain operational. A reduction in RF coverage
will be experienced primarily in the area served by that failed site.
H. Loss of Control Channel(s) – The system is configured with 4 control channels
and will automatically role to the next available control channel. The controller
will immediately use the next channel (1, 2, 3, or 4).
I. Loss of Prime Site/ Control Point - The loss of the prime control point would
render the simulcast system down. ITAC channels can be utilized in the event of a
Prime Site failure. However, a dual-Prime site option has been provided to address
the Simulcast failure scenario.
J. Loss of single/multiple microwave path connectivity – The loss of a single
microwave path within the loop would cause the traffic to switch and therefore all
the sites in the loop would remain operational. The loss of a single microwave
path for a spur will render that microwave link inoperable. The microwave system
proposed is protected against such failure because it is equipped with hot-standby
radios.

6.2.6 Simulcast Site Antenna Systems

The Contractor shall furnish and install antenna systems specifically designed to meet the
coverage requirements and objectives described by Section 7.
Comply
The Contractor shall equip all antennas, with gas tube lightning arrestor devices (Polyphasor or

6.2.9 Regional Interoperability via Project-25 ISSI

Currently, the nearby counties operate a variety of conventional and trunked radio
communication systems on different frequency bands. Please refer to Section 3, user needs
interoperability requirements with surrounding radio networks. Floyd County is, by virtue of
this Specification, planning its radio network modernization toward Project-25 Phase I
compliancy. Other jurisdictions within the Region are either actively considering the use of
Project-25 technology or, are currently in the procurement processes.
Understood
In any case, the critical importance placed on seamless interoperability between Project-25
digital voice radio networks, of various manufacture, cannot be overstated.
Understood
The set of minimally-acceptable feature and protocol standards to facilitate the linkage of
distributed Project-25 radio systems has been defined as the Inter Sub System Interface, or ISSI.
In 2006 a series of protocols and procedures for an initial layer of multi-network
interoperability was approved by the APCO Standards Committee. This initial ISSI release
defined trunked group and individual call transport between multiple systems as well as
subscriber user roaming and unit authentication. Future ISSI releases, will encompass other
features such as Over-the-Air Rekeying; data transport; cross-network console operability and
conventional radio system interoperability.
Understood
In February 2010 Floyd County applied for a $2.4 million Georgia Homeland Security
Grant titled Northwest Georgia Interoperable Communications. The purpose of the grant is to
increase coverage, expand mutual aid interoperability and facilitate future growth of the NW

GA/TN Valley Regional Communication System further into Georgia. Floyd County has
identified a tower site location in northwest Gordon County that will enhance network
coverage in South Walker County, and extend system coverage into Whitfield, Floyd and
Gordon Counties. The County has had discussions with key public safety officials from each
of these entities, and has confirmed their cooperation and commitment to incorporating 800MHz
interoperability into their mutual aid response plans. The grant request adds one 10-channel,
simulcast site with microwave connectivity to the NW GA simulcast cell. By extending
coverage southward this will not only enhance first responder interoperability and encourage
future growth, but will also make significant strides toward achieving a long-range goal of master
site connectivity with Cobb County, Georgia.
Understood
Once the NW GA/TN Valley Regional Radio System is connected to the Cobb County/UASI
Master Site the County will establish seamless roaming from Atlanta to Knoxville on I-75, and
multi-State Emergency Operations Center voice communication.
Comply
The current ISSI standard will not provide seamless roaming, only Motorola’s
InterZone connectivity can currently provide seamless roaming and other Trunking
features across multiple systems. Please refer to the ISSI section of the system
description for an ISSI comparison and alternative InterZone offering.
With the selection of the alternative InterZone offering, Motorola exceeds the basic
ISSI functionality.

Floyd County has taken great care to insure alignment between local, regional and state
interoperable communication plans. Just as the State of Georgia’s vision for statewide
interoperability is connecting 700/800MHz wide area trunked radio systems and
conventional VHF systems through the statewide (GIN) MotoBridge network, so is the
intent of the NW GA/TN Valley Regional Radio System and GEMA Area 6.
Understood
Prior to the application for this grant (Phase III), the State was awarded a Public Safety
Interoperable Communications Grant (PSIC) for $5.7 million for Phase II (Catoosa County
began Phase I without any grant assistance.). In 2007, Catoosa County executed Memorandums
of Understanding with two other North Georgia Counties, Walker and Dade, to join the NW
GA/TN Valley Regional Radio System, and submitted an application for FY07 funding. This
system design incorporates three 10-channel simulcast sites while upgrading and relocating the
Catoosa 5-channel repeater site. This project was awarded and is in the final stages of
completion. The north GA site will serve as the primary voice communication network for
public safety in Catoosa, Walker and Dade Counties and provide wide area, SAFECOM Level 6
interoperability for the various disciplines, cities, and counties operating on the NW GA/TN
Valley Regional Radio System. To date, there are three Georgia counties and nine Tennessee
counties utilizing this wide area radio system.
Understood
It is the intention of the County that this grant will initiate Phase III of the Northwest Georgia
Interoperable Communications project. The system design proposed for FY09 increased the
number of simulcast sites for North Georgia from three to four. It provides countywide

coverage of the Northwest Georgia Regional Radio System throughout the combined Catoosa,
Walker and Dade counties and offers substantial overlap coverage into Whitfield, Floyd and
Gordon counties. The overlapping coverage will add unit to unit, emergency mutual aid
communications throughout most of Whitfield County and the City of Dalton by adding a few
control stations to interface their consoles or the State’s (GIN) MotoBridge equipment. This
also facilitates connectivity of the funded Floyd County P25 System, which is strategic to
interoperability throughout GEMA Area 6, and facilitates future expansion into Gordon
County, Bartow County, and the State of Alabama. Additional coverage, beyond Floyd
County jurisdictional boundaries, is key to facilitating future system growth.

trunked communication systems are desired. The following information provides a functional
description of both Mobile Repeater and Transportable Trunked Repeater configurations.
Understood

6.6.1 Mobile Repeaters

Floyd County public safety agencies may require single-channel repeater stations at the scene of
large structural fires, out-of-area mutual aid responses and other localized events. In the event
of a structural fire, building amplifier systems (Bi-directional Amplifiers or BDAs) are often
rendered inoperable, thereby severely degrading in-building coverage at a time when it is needed
most urgently.
Understood
It is envisioned that key tactical response vehicles could be configured with a compact, easily
operated repeater system designed to enhance portable coverage within such small geographic
areas.

Fire Stations can't be alerted using the same VHF repeater? The dispatch fire traffic call will be
simultaneously transmitted on the 800MHz Trunking system and the VHF fire/pager repeater.
Response: Proposals can include, as an option, alerting Fire and EMS stations with UHF/VHF
repeaters in addition to the 800MHz radio system. However, alerting EMS stations must use a
separate repeater than the repeater used to alert Fire stations.

Comply
Motorola’s offering will reuse a decommissioned VHF MTR2000 repeater to provide
800MHz Trunking dispatch traffic to the existing fire pagers.

7.1  General 
 
The new Floyd County P-25 Digital Trunked Radio Network shall be designed to support
portable hand-carried radio equipment, operated both on street and within residences/building
structures, at physical locations throughout the County plus a three-mile perimeter boundary.
Proposers must fully identify and guarantee the coverage predicted for their proposed solution,
per the functional and operational requirements of this Specification. The County has also
identified those critical structures which shall have in- building portable coverage, and shall be
included in the proposers Functional Test Plan and Coverage Test Plan for both signal strength
and DAQ testing.

Per Addendum 2, Motorola will provide mobile radio coverage and portable radio
in-building coverage for no less than 95% of Floyd County. In-building coverage
is based upon a typical 2500 sq. ft. residential home with 4 dB of loss. In-building
coverage will be no less than 95% for representative buildings contained in RFP
Attachment C.

Proposers must take into account the following operating parameters in the development of their
coverage guarantee:

A. Shoulder/microphone units without antennas will be used in most instances and shall
be the normal configuration considered for the purpose of coverage design. Body and
obstruction losses must therefore be considered in the proposed network design for both
talk-in/talk-out coverage analyses.

Comply
B. Flexible, quarter wavelength antennas shall be required for portable units. Coaxial-skirt
type antennas are not acceptable due to size and other mechanical limitations.
Per Addendum 1, released October 21, 2010:
Question:
18. Can the Coverage ATP be conducted with the antenna configuration being purchased and
used by Floyd County's users? Motorola recommends using a flexible-half wavelength antenna on
the hip with a remote speaker microphone, which will be presented at the pre-bid conference.
Response: The Specification is to be followed. If Motorola intends to offer an alternative design
using this antenna, it should be provided as an alternative solution only and not the primary
solution as that would be viewed as an exception to the RFP..
Per Addendum 3, released November 19, 2010:
Question:
6. This section requires a quarter wavelength antenna to be used for portable units. Based on
coverage analysis to date this requirement could result in more sites needed than indicated by the
RFP. Can a half wavelength flex whip antenna be used for portable units with regards to the
coverage requirements?
The subscriber antenna configuration plays a large part in the solution offered. The half
wavelength flex whip antenna is approximately seven (7) inches in length which is only three (3)
inches longer than the quarter wavelength antenna as it is approximately four (4) inches long. The
flexibility of the half wavelength flex whip antenna aids in the comfort when the radio is worn on
the hip. It should also be noted that the half wavelength flex whip antenna is significantly more
comfortable to wear than the helical antennas that the Floyd County VHF and UHF users may be
using today.
Response: The County will accept a half wavelength antenna or a quarter wavelength antenna for
Section 7.1.B.

Comply
Motorola will utilize a flexible half wavelength antenna to meet the coverage requirements.

C. Building obstructions exist throughout the Floyd County Service Area. The
majority of dense building structures are located within Rome’s Central Business
District. These must be considered in the development of the Proposer’s coverage
guarantee. As mentioned above, a listing of specific structures requiring in-building radio
coverage is contained in Attachment C.
Comply
Motorola has added an additional Simulcast site at Blossom Hill to maximize in
building coverage in the downtown district. The Blossom Hill site is not needed to
meet the 95% county-wide mobile and portable coverage requirement, but provides
a substantial amount of additional coverage for the buildings listed in Attachment
C of the RFP.

7.2  Service Area 
 
Both mobile radio and portable radio on-street coverage must extend throughout no less than 95%
of that area within the land region inclusive of Floyd County, plus a three-mile perimeter
overlapping area extending into its adjacent bordering counties. Desired in- building portable
coverage shall be no less than 95% within the entire land area encompassing the County.

All references to coverage reliability in this Specification refer to statistical area reliability. For
example, the phrase "95% coverage" indicates that the total area described shall exhibit at least
95% statistical probability that coverage areas, if tested, would be found to support electrical
performance which equals or exceeds that minimum signal level necessary to deliver
Contracted delivered audio quality, as specified by this Specification and the Contract. However, it

Response: Should read “Ninety-five percent of grids must meet exceed these defined requirements
for the system to be considered coverage compliant.”

Comply
Motorola has added an additional Simulcast site at Blossom Hill to maximize in building
coverage in the downtown district. This reduces the need for in-building amplifier systems,
therefore providing the most cost effective hardware solution.

Proposers shall specifically address those City/County buildings identified in Attachment C


requiring building amplifier systems and shall provide a comprehensive turnkey cost to furnish
and install such coverage enhancement equipment on a per-building basis.
Comply
Please refer to the Cost Proposal, submitted separately.
Motorola has performed a detailed coverage analysis and determined that four (4)
buildings have a high probability of needing a BDA system. These buildings and the
associated BDA system costs are provided in the Cost Proposal, submitted under
separate cover.

Proposal

It is possible that some of these buildings could meet the coverage requirements
without a BDA system and then some other buildings could fail and therefore need a
BDA system. Therefore once the coverage testing for the buildings are completed
based on the CATP included in this proposal it will be determined exactly which
buildings will need BDA systems. Motorola will then use the cost included in this
proposal for BDA systems to install BDA systems in those buildings in order to meet
the coverage requirements.

If any of these representative buildings fail to demonstrate 95% reliable coverage (DAQ 3.4
Audio Quality per section 7.5), the following procedure will be followed:

A. Measurements will be made from every failed test point to determine if in- building loss

Motorola Confidential Restricted Floyd County, Georgia

exceeds 25db for that specific test point.
Comply
B. If penetration loss exceeds 25db, that specific test point will be omitted from
reliability calculations.

Comply
C. If penetration loss is equal to or less than 25db, that specific test point will remain
included in the reliability calculations.

Comply
D. After determining which (if any) test points are omitted, reliability calculations will
be repeated. At that time, reliability of less than 95% for the structure represents a failure
for the building.

Comply
If insufficient coverage is identified, the Contractor will be responsible for modifying the
system, at no additional cost to Floyd County, as may be necessary to achieve the required
reliability within the failed building. This may include any or all of the following approaches:

1. Bi-directional amplifier (BDA) system installed in the building.*


2. Passive repeater systems installed in the building.
3. Satellite receiver systems in or near the building.
4. Modifying/adjusting repeater site antenna systems.**

Comply

(*Note 1) The determination to utilize a BDA within any structure will be engineered as a part
of a comprehensive system design. BDA systems shall not be installed in structures in such a
manner or proliferation that creates interference with the overall digital radio network’s operation.
Comply
(**Note 2) If any changes are made to the fixed sites (such as re-orienting antenna patterns) in
order to resolve building coverage failures, then a complete re-test of coverage shall be required
at no additional cost to Floyd County.
Comply
The Digital Radio Network shall support no less than 95% in-residence portable radio coverage
reliability throughout the land area of Floyd County. For the purpose of defining in-residence
portable radio loss factors, Proposers shall assume that the typical in-residence structure

Motorola has presented in this proposal, some typical Hydra coverage analysis for
Floyd County, GA (“County”).
Inputs to Hydra’s simulations include system architecture, equipment characteristics,
service area boundaries, areas of various building losses, subscriber unit distribution
density for Traffic analysis, etc.
Hydra’s coverage map outputs are created and displayed using ESRI’s shapefiles, an
industry-standard GIS file format. Shapefiles from many sources (GIS vendors, the
Internet, your own GIS department, etc.) can be loaded, displayed, and used in Hydra
to enhance mapping, and to define service area polygons. Hydra’s coverage analyses
can be limited to specified service area polygons (e.g., a county, a city, or a dispatch
territory), so coverage reliability can be analyzed exclusively within the boundaries of
your operating area.

8.1  General 
 
It is a functional requirement that the existing VHF/UHF conventional analog systems
remain operational during the installation and acceptance phases of the new Project-25
Digital voice radio network. Any proposal that would cause the temporary interruption of the
VHF/UHF analog conventional systems for any duration must be reviewed and approved, in
advance, by Floyd County or their designee. The County currently uses the Positron Front Line
Viper CAD (version 1.5.0.15) dispatch console. They are satisfied with its reliability and
performance, and will be the benchmark upon which any replacement console is judged.

Question:
21. The IPC Console with T5 operating system was cancelled in April 2009, and that equipment
for expansion of existing systems would be available through January 29, 2010. The serviceable
life for this console ends April 30, 2014. Will this change the County’s desire to maintain their
existing dispatch console?
Response: No change to the RFP requirements is granted, however, Motorola is free to offer
alternative solutions.

Understood
It is the desire of the County to keep their existing dispatch console and have seamless
integration with the newly proposed P-25 800MHz radio network. For those proposals that
incorporate the replacement of the existing dispatch console with a proprietary console

32. Please supply a definition for the term "guarantee" as used in this paragraph.
Response: Installation of supplied software will cause no harm to operations. Should an
operational or functional defect occur as a result of newly-installed software, the Contractor shall
restore the radio network or equipment affected to the previous software level. This remedial work
would be completed at no additional cost to Floyd County.
Question:
33. Is it the intent of the statement, "Contractor shall fix by either update or upgrade…", that
Software, Software Installation and any required Hardware be supplied at no additional cost?
Response: The cost charged for software services of infrastructure systems must include all
necessary hardware to successfully utilize.

Comply
Motorola’s offering exceeds the requirement of this specification.
During the first year warranty period, Motorola has included the software, hardware and labor to
implement one upgrade bringing the system to the latest technology release.
The Contractor further guarantees that it has good title to any material and software supplied and
that it will defend Floyd County from any third party claims concerning such material or software
Comply
Motorola complies with the clarification that Motorola has the right to sublicense third-party
software but does not have title to it.
PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT:
Motorola will defend at its expense any suit brought against Floyd County to the extent it is based
on a third-party claim alleging that the Equipment manufactured by Motorola or the Motorola
Software (“Motorola Product”) directly infringes a United States patent or copyright
(“Infringement Claim”). Motorola’s duties to defend and indemnify are conditioned upon: Floyd
County promptly notifying Motorola in writing of the Infringement Claim; Motorola having sole
control of the defense of the suit and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise; and Floyd
County providing to Motorola cooperation and, if requested by Motorola, reasonable assistance in
the defense of the Infringement Claim. In addition to Motorola’s obligation to defend, and subject
to the same conditions, Motorola will pay all damages finally awarded against Floyd County by a
court of competent jurisdiction for an Infringement Claim or agreed to, in writing, by Motorola in
settlement of an Infringement Claim.
If an Infringement Claim occurs, or in Motorola's opinion is likely to occur, Motorola may at its
option and expense: (a) procure for Floyd County the right to continue using the Motorola
Product; (b) replace or modify the Motorola Product so that it becomes non-infringing while
providing functionally equivalent performance; or (c) accept the return of the Motorola Product
and grant Floyd County a credit for the Motorola Product, less a reasonable charge for
depreciation. The depreciation amount will be calculated based upon generally accepted
accounting standards.
Motorola will have no duty to defend or indemnify for any Infringement Claim that is based
upon: (a) the combination of the Motorola Product with any software, apparatus or device not
furnished by Motorola; (b) the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by Motorola
and that is attached to or used in connection with the Motorola Product; (c) Motorola Product
designed or manufactured in accordance with Floyd County’s designs, specifications, guidelines or
instructions, if the alleged infringement would not have occurred without such designs,

specifications, guidelines or instructions; (d) a modification of the Motorola Product by a party
other than Motorola; (e) use of the Motorola Product in a manner for which the Motorola Product
was not designed or that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; or (f) the failure by
Floyd County to install an enhancement release to the Motorola Software that is intended to
correct the claimed infringement. In no event will Motorola’s liability resulting from its
indemnity obligation to Floyd County extend in any way to royalties payable on a per use basis or
the Floyd County’s revenues, or any royalty basis other than a reasonable royalty based upon
revenue derived by Motorola from Floyd County from sales or license of the infringing Motorola
Product.

minimal interoperability needs, such as the Water Department, may benefit from lower-
tiered, less costly radios having smaller talk group capacities and a limited list of feature
options. Public Safety agencies, however, may require highest-tier devices capable of
voice encryption, telephone interconnect calling, private call, GPS location, status
messaging and other specialized features.

140 N Marietta Parkway, Marietta, GA 30060

Synopsis
Since 1993, Cobb County has utilized a 3 site, 21 channel Motorola
SMARTNET system to provide communications to all City and County agencies
throughout Cobb County. The County began their migration path to their new
P25 system by deploying a 5-site, 18-channel ASTRO 25 system alongside the
existing analog system and then created interoperable talkgroups between the
two systems at the console; therefore enabling direct interoperability between
the two systems. 2,500 County users exist on the new Project 25 system
while the remaining 2,000 City users exist on the SMARTNET system, yet all
users benefit from the increased functionality of interoperability.
• All County users share the system with all Cites in the County providing
seamless interoperability.
• Project 25 system deployed in an overlay configuration with existing analog
technology using shared interoperable talkgroups on both systems.
• Motorola was the prime integrator providing new site construction,
radio integration and CAD in a single contract.
• The Motorola site development team overcame many site development
and implementation challenges represented by a site that was located in a
National Park.

Synopsis
The City of Independence chose a Motorola 700 MHz Astro 25 Digital Trunk Radio System
to support communications for all City Departments. This was the first 700 MHz Project 25
general use system implemented in the United States. The City implemented a Master Site
Controller designed to not only serve the existing six-site, seven-channel simulcast network
for the City, but to extend the technology and capabilities of this controller and their network
to neighboring government entities, regional and state partners. A number of municipali-
ties, public safety agencies, fire districts and EMS operations have either joined the existing
Independence network or intend to connect to the Master Site Controller or expand on the
network to provide for their specific communications requirements and proliferate regional
interoperability throughout the MARC (Mid America Regional Council) eight county region.

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-1


Each remote simulcast transmitter site is composed of a radio subsystem containing
GTR 8000 simulcast base stations, the appropriate antenna-combining equipment,
redundant site routers and Ethernet switches, and a Global Positioning System (GPS)
time and frequency reference in order to keep the network timing synchronized.
Each ASTRO 25 repeater transmitter site includes a radio subsystem containing GTR
8000 simulcast base stations, the appropriate antenna-combining equipment and a site
router.
The following sections will describe the ASTRO 25 system components in detail.

5.1 ASTRO 25 Fixed Network Equipment Design

5.1.1 Zone Core


The ASTRO 25 Zone Core is the main control point for the proposed
communications system. The Zone Core contains the computing backbone for the
system and all the components necessary for controlling voice calls and data
messages within the proposed system. In addition, the Zone Core provides the
hardware and software components used for network management and system
configuration.
The system architecture is designed with inherent fault distribution, ensuring that a
single point of failure will not cause the complete disruption of communications. The
ASTRO 25 architecture ensures that voice operation is maintained despite any single
component failure anywhere on the network. In the case of a fault, the system can
reroute the IP voice and data packets among the various redundant router
configurations, and notify the supervisor / network management terminal of the fault.

Redundant Zone Controllers (Sun Netra T5220 Server)


The proposed system offers redundant Zone Controllers. This platform is deployed
with the Sun Netra T5220 servers (shown in Table 5-1).
The two Zone Controller servers contain the Zone Controller and Network
Management applications. The T5220 supports a multi-threading environment with
up to 32 simultaneous processes. This platform enables multiple applications to
reside on the same platform. T5220 specifications are provided in Table 5-1.

Core Routers
The core routers perform the routing control of audio, data, and network management
traffic in and out of the zone, replicating packets while achieving the fast access
levels required by real-time voice systems. To increase availability, two core routers
are used. The Zone Core audio, data, control, and network management equipment
interfaces to the remote RF Sites via the remote site aggregation LAN switches,
through the core router.

Gateway Routers
Redundant gateway routers are used for devices that forward packets beyond their
local LAN. To provide increased availability, gateway routers are provided in a
redundant configuration.

ISSI.1 Gateway System

Motorola’s ISSI.1 Network Gateway Application is a connectivity solution that


utilizes an available ASTRO 25 Zone Controller Site Link to connect a P25 Inter RF
Subsystem Interface (ISSI) over an Ethernet transport medium, to another network
with another ISSI gateway similarly connected. Each ISSI.1 Network Gateway
Application allows 27 simultaneous trunked calls between systems and 60
interoperability talkgroup pairs.

ASTRO 25 System Licenses


Many ASTRO 25 system features are offered through a licensing structure giving the
County the ability to purchase only those features that are needed. The proposed
system is configured with sufficient licenses for up to 2,000 individual radio user IDs
to accommodate for current and future expansion needs. The County may purchase
additional licenses for individual radio user IDs beyond the 2,000 that are included.
The Automatic Vehicle Location solution provided includes licenses for GPS
tracking of up to 100 individual radios. The MCC7500 console system includes
licenses for the eleven (11) proposed consoles and four (4) console expansion
licenses. The system is licensed for the following applications which meet the
requirements of the RFP: Unified Network Configuration, User Configuration
Manager, Unified Event Manager, Network Fault Manager, Zone Historical Reports,
and Radio Control Manager.

5.1.2 Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) System Description


IV&D is Motorola’s integrated mobile data and is supported on the ASTRO® 25,
Project 25 trunking system. Motorola’s ASTRO 25 IV&D capability enhances the
Project 25 system by adding packet data capability to subscriber units. This system
enhancement will provide voice and data communications throughout the County
service area, without the extra expense of installing and maintaining separate systems
for voice and data. The IV&D enhancements to the ASTRO 25 voice system included
in Motorola’s proposal are Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Over-the-Air
Programming (Programming Over P25 – “POP25”). A number of optional data
centric applications such as Data Message Support (Text Messaging) and Over-the-
Air Rekeying (OTAR) of encryption codes can be added if desired.

Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-5


5.1.2.1 RF Infrastructure
ASTRO 25 IV&D uses the same infrastructure components needed for Project 25
voice communications. The simulcast and repeater sites that form the backbone of the
County communications network will support both voice and data communications.
This will allow the system to allocate resources to voice and data communications,
depending on user demands. Allowing sites to exchange both voice and data
information ensures that system resources are used as efficiently as possible. This
capability also minimizes the number of separate components that the system will be
required to support.

5.1.2.2 Subscriber Units


ASTRO IV&D features a single subscriber capable of supporting both voice and data.
As described in the section on subscriber units, this feature is available on selected
Motorola mobile and portable radios. These next generation subscribers are data
capable and only require a software option and data cable to implement ASTRO 25
IV&D.

5.1.2.3 GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN)


The GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN) is a special purpose router that provides
various services in support of trunked data operation. Among those are separation of
IP address spaces between the trunked radio system network and external customer
networks, DHCP address management, and tunneling of radio system packets into
and out of customer networks.
The GGSN was first developed to provide General Packet Radio Service for GSM
cellular subscribers. The device is used in the ASTRO 25 system to provide
connectivity between the trunked radio system network and other private or public
networks. The proposed system requires only one GGSN (per system).The GGSN
interfaces between the Motorola radio network and Customer Enterprise Networks
(CEN). It is used to “tunnel” datagrams from a CEN(s) to the appropriate PDG,
which ultimately passes the datagram on to a specified subscriber unit operating on
the “closed” Motorola radio network. A GGSN does the following:
♦ Isolates the Motorola radio network IP address plan from the IP plans of any
CENs to which it enables a connection.
♦ It either sources or provides access to DHCP services.
♦ It can support VPN connections into external networks.

5-6 ASTRO 25 System Description


5.1.2.4 Packet Data Gateway (PDG)
The County’s trunked IV&D system enhancement contains a product new to the
trunked system, called a Packet Data Gateway (PDG). PDG is made up of two
separate functional elements – a Radio Network Gateway (RNG) and a Packet Data
Router (PDR). Those familiar with other Motorola wireless data systems may
recognize an “RNC” and a “WNG” in the descriptions of the RNG and the PDR.
There are similarities between the new devices and the old, but there are also
substantial differences. The Packet Data Gateway (PDG) interfaces between the
GGSN and the Motorola Radio Network. See the following sections for more details.

5.1.2.5 PDR
The PDR is one of two components in the PDG. It interfaces with the GGSN and its
home RNG as well as other zones’ RNGs and controls the routing of data messages
between serving RNGs and the GGSN. Additionally, based on home zone mapping,
the PDR maintains a database of data-capable SUs.
The PDR provides a packet data “home” for all subscriber units that have been Home
Zone mapped to that zone for voice operation. It sends packets to, and receives
packets from, any of the RNGs in the system. It also operates with the GGSN to
terminate the trunked system’s IP address space and provide address translation
between the trunked system’s IP network and external networks.
PDR technical specifications are:
♦ MCG MCP750 processor card
♦ Linux operating system, SC/EM PDG environment
♦ Hard drive/RAID, CDROM
♦ 100baseT Ethernet

5.1.2.6 Applications Utilizing the IV&D (mobile data) System


Enhancement

ASTRO 25 Outdoor Location Solution (AVL)


The ASTRO 25 Outdoor Location Solution is a resource tracking solution that uses
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to provide operators with the ability to
locate and track OUTDOOR personnel and assets.
AVL provides location information of properly equipped subscriber radios while they
are located outdoors. Motorola’s AVL solution provides a server receives disparate
GPS protocols in & translates them into a unified protocol out to your application.
AVL programming documentation is also included, which provides 3rd party vendors
the ability to process the AVL information within their application.

Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-7


Unlike public network solutions, Motorola’s AVL allows Floyd County to further
utilize their ASTRO 25 IV&D system to enhance officer safety and increase their
operational efficiencies.

POP25
POP25 is an application that is enabled by the ASTRO 25 integrated data pipe.
Motorola is committed to delivering a solution to help customers maintain their
ASTRO 25 Trunked Integrated Voice and Data subscribers such that the customer
can update specific radio information via the ASTRO 25 trunked data infrastructure.
POP25 is designed to allow a radio manager expert to use a traditionally styled
Customer Programming Software (CPS) solution installed on a computer attached to
the radio IP infrastructure to read and write a codeplug from an ASTRO 25 trunked
data-capable fielded radio via the ASTRO Common Air Interface (CAI). The
technician can update any of the CPS based radio configuration information and send
the updated codeplug back to the radio over the ASTRO 25 trunked data system.
For radios purchased initially without POP25, a FLASHport upgrade is available to
add the capability.

OTAR (available, but not included)


OTAR of AES encryption keys requires the ASTRO 25 integrated data functionality
on the trunked infrastructure. Secure users operating on the proposed ASTRO 25
trunked system via IV&D and OTAR are able to deliver new AES encryption keys
“over the RF channel” instead of manually re-keying through a Key Loader. As it is
generally recommended to perform periodic updates to the encryption keys for
security reasons, this option works well for large numbers of encrypted subscribers
that require updated keys. OTAR is compatible with subscriber radios equipped with
the AES OTAR option.
On December 16, 2003, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) and Canada’s Communications Security Establishment (CSE) issued a joint
statement accepting AES OTAR as a FIPS-approved mode of operation. Motorola
offers both AES and AES OTAR, now validated to FIPS 140-2.

5.1.3 ASTRO 25 Prime Site Design


The Prime Site acts as a control and digitized audio center for the simulcast
subsystem. The Prime Site will be at the proposed Mount Alto site. Motorola has also
included an option for a redundant Prime Site to be located at the Floyd 911 Center.
The microwave links route IP packets containing control and audio information from
the Prime Site to each simulcast remote site.

5-8 ASTRO 25 System Description


5.1.3.1 Redundant GCP 8000 Controller
The redundant GCP 8000 controller is designed for use in ASTRO 25 trunking
systems. The GCP 8000 controller provides call processing and acts as a site link
between the simulcast subsystem and the Zone Controller. The GCP 8000 is capable
of supporting up to 30 channels and up to 15 simulcast sub-sites. The GCP 8000
controller communicates with interconnected ASTRO 25 infrastructure elements,
such as the GTR 8000 base radio subsystem and the GCM8000 comparator, which
are also designed to be Project 25 compliant.
The GCP 8000 controller will be implemented in a fully redundant configuration of
with two controllers. The redundant (standby) controller automatically takes over site
link or site control operations when the active GCP 8000 controller has failed.
Communications between the active and standby controllers are configured through
an Ethernet link. Channel status information will be kept consistent between the
active and standby site controller to assure that accurate channel capability
information will always be sent to the zone controller.

5.1.3.2 Redundant Prime Site Routers


The Prime Site router provides a WAN interface that carries all of the traffic between
the Prime Site to the Zone Core including voice, control, and network management
traffic. The router provides direct IP packet network management connectivity for the
remote sites to the Zone Core as well as:
♦ Traffic prioritization – the router applies the correct prioritization marking to the
packets leaving the site.
♦ Fragmentation – the router fragments large IP packets as necessary.
♦ Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service – this service allows the
technician with a properly configured computer running Windows to connect to
the LAN at the site.
Used with the NMS, the Prime Site Router provides a proactively managed system
and a means of receiving and reporting failure alarms, all of which increase router
availability. Motorola has designed this system with redundant Prime Site routers.

5.1.3.3 GCM8000 Channel Comparators


The GCM8000 comparator is a band-independent device that acts as a subsystem-
wide signal collector, voter, and distributor. The GCM8000 comparator is designed
for use in ASTRO 25 IP Simulcast trunking systems. With multiple base stations
operating on the same frequency, it is possible for multiple RF sites to receive a
single field unit transmission.

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-9


The GCM8000 compares the various voice traffic signals and interprets and selects
the best audio samples and assimilates an enhanced audio signal for simulcast
broadcasting. By simultaneously transmitting the enhanced audio signal from
multiple sites within the system, both coverage and signal quality are improved.

5.1.3.4 Redundant Prime Site Ethernet LAN Switches


A pair of interconnected LAN switches is required to connect GCM8000 comparators
and GCP8000 controllers to the Prime Site router. Two switches are used at the site
to increase availability, and they are interconnected via Gigabit Ethernet trunks. Each
of the two Prime Site controllers is connected to its own switch. Therefore, if one
switch should fail at least one controller will have connectivity.

5.1.3.5 TRAK 9100 Time and Frequency Standard


The Prime Sites includes a GPS-based time and frequency standard that provides a
frequency/timing device for synchronized simulcast transmissions. In addition, the
GCM8000 comparator will receive timing information from the GPS. Each Simulcast
Remote Site will also utilize a GPS to provide the frequency/timing data needed to
allow synchronization of simulcast transmissions.

5.1.4.1 Redundant Remote Site Routers


Remote Site Routers provide an interface that routes all of the IP network traffic to
and from the Prime Site for communication with the Zone Core. The Site Routers
provide the following function for the network management packets:
♦ Layer 3 routing which restricts local traffic from accessing the Microwave system
and forwards important voice and data information to the prime site
♦ DHCP service: This service allows the technician with a properly configured
computer running Windows to connect to the LAN at the site.
Used with the system’s Network Management, the Remote Site Router provides a
proactively managed system as well as a means of receiving and reporting failure
alarms.

5.1.4.2 Ethernet LAN Switches


The simulcast sub-site LAN switch performs two main functions at the simulcast
remote site. The switch provides a 10BaseT LAN interface for the GTR Expandable
Site Subsystem and a 10BaseT port for the site router. The switch also provides a port
for interfacing MOSCAD.
The service technicians using CSS software use a switch port to gain access at the site
to service the site and access the system’s GUIs to maintain the system. DHCP
service allows the technician with a properly configured computer running Windows
to connect to the LAN at the site. The site router will assign the computer running
Windows an IP address that will allow the computer access to the ASTRO 25
network.

5.1.5 MCC7500 ASTRO 25 Dispatch Console
To take full advantage of all the capabilities of the ASTRO® 25 trunked digital voice
system, and to support the wide variety of dispatch needs, Motorola offers the
MCC7500 IP console system. The MCC7500 console subsystem is tightly integrated
to the ASTRO 25 digital voice system. The MCC7500 is our ASTRO 25 IP console,
and the most advanced offering in Motorola’s line of radio dispatching products. The
MCC7500 is a state-of-the-art console system that will be installed in accordance
with recognized industry standards of police and fire dispatch centers. The new
console system will meet public safety dispatching needs for the County.
The various hardware elements that which comprise the dispatch console are
described in the following sections.

5.1.5.1 Personal Computer (PC)


The dispatch console uses a customized Motorola-certified PC running the Microsoft
Windows operating system. The PCs used in ASTRO 25 systems have a mini-tower
form factor.

5.1.5.2 Voice Processor Module (VPM)


The Voice Processor Module (VPM) is a device that combines the functions of a
voice card, encryption card, and a general purpose input/output module in an MCC
7500 Console subsystem. The VPM provides the necessary interfaces to connect
analog devices to the MCC 7500 digital console and it is responsible for audio
routing between the dispatch operator, peripherals, and the local network. It contains
both digital and analog (audio) circuits to support secure and clear voice processing.
The VPM connects to the console site LAN switch and communicates with the
dispatch console PC via Ethernet. There is a one-to-one relationship between the
VPM and the PC. Each dispatch position has its own PC and its own VPM. The
VPM provides all the audio processing services and encryption/decryption services
for the VPM-based dispatch console. These include:
♦ Vocoding services - Capable of supporting AMBE and IMBE (for ASTRO 25),
ACELP (for Dimetra IP) and G.728 (for analog resources) vocoder algorithms
♦ Audio processing services - Capable of supporting audio level adjustments,
summing and filtering and multiple simultaneous streams of audio.
♦ Encryption and decryption services - Capable of supporting multiple
simultaneous encryption/decryption sessions using multiple algorithms and
multiple secure keys.

The VPM provides the connections for the following items.


♦ Speakers
♦ Headset Jacks

5.1.5.3 Desktop Gooseneck Microphone

The dispatch console is capable of supporting a single desktop gooseneck


microphone. The desktop microphone contains a microphone cartridge on a flexible
shaft and two buttons in its base. One button controls the General Transmit feature
and the other controls the Monitor feature.

5.1.5.4 Headset Jack


An MCC7500 dispatch console is capable of supporting up to two headset jacks. A
headset jack allows a dispatch console user to use a headset while operating the
dispatch console. The headset jacks ship from the factory configured for 6-wire
headsets. When a headset is plugged into a headset jack, the selected receive radio
call audio is typically removed from the speaker(s) and routed to the headset
earpiece. The radio resource may be configured to output receive audio through the
speaker and not to the headset earpiece when a headset is in use. If two headsets are
connected to a dispatch console, the same radio audio appears in the earpieces of both
of them.
When an external telephone set connected to a dispatch console’s external telephone
port and is taken off hook while a headset is connected to a dispatch console, the
selected radio audio is removed from the headset earpiece and routed to the
appropriate speaker. The received telephone audio is routed to the earpiece of the
headset connected to the first headset jack. The microphone of the headset connected
to the first headset jack becomes live and its audio is routed to the external telephone
set. This allows the dispatch console user who is using the headset connected to the
first headset jack to talk and listen on the telephone set in a hands free full duplex
mode. A headset connected to the second headset jack cannot be used with the
external telephone set; it may only be used with the radio channels on the dispatch
console.

5.1.5.5 Dispatch Speaker

Each speaker on a dispatch console contains unique audio; that is, an audio source
cannot appear in multiple speakers at a single dispatch console. The speaker is
designed for use near computer monitors or mounted on a computer monitor. It
contains an amplifier which provides a maximum of two watts of power.

5.1.9 Fire Station Alerting (FSA)


Motorola’s proposal provides alerting infrastructure using one relocated VHF
MTR2000 repeater and one 800MHz analog repeater. The MCC7500 consoles will
provide any dispatch position alerting control to both Fire and EMS stations.
Additionally, Motorola’s radio-based Fire and EMS Station Alerting System:
♦ Utilizes a VHF stand alone repeater to alert the 11 Fire stations
♦ Utilizes an 800MHz stand alone repeater to alert the eight EMS stations
♦ Supports single or multiple station alerting
♦ Utilizes the proposed MCC7500 dispatch consoles to broadcast dispatch audio
over ASTRO 25 Trunking Talkgroups and the conventional repeater alerting
channels
♦ Allows alerting from multiple MCC7500 operator positions
♦ Includes a new PA in stations that currently do not have public address amplifiers
to match the PA’s installed in some of the Fire stations
♦ Delivers dispatch audio to station’s speaker system
♦ Allows setting of light and/or audible alarm at each station
Motorola has made every effort to create a Fire/EMS alerting system that is easy to
operate under stress and which provides the operator the confidence needed when
emergency situations demand flawless performance. The FSA system is controlled
by the MCC7500 consoles. The console provides an easy to access call list and quick
buttons for fast alerting of multiple stations. Integrating the Fire/EMS alerting
system into the MCC7500 console maximizes dispatcher efficiency and eliminates
any required ancillary computer systems required for station alerting.

RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-22 ASTRO 25 System Description


Due to the critical nature of Fire and EMS response times, the alerting system utilizes
high reliability radio components for each station. The CDM1250 VHF (MHz) radio
with local audio output and light and/or alarm control and the XTL2500 800MHz
radio with local audio output and light and/or alarm control have been selected to
provide this functionality. After receiving a station-specific two-tone alert, each
radio will be programmed to close a digital output and open a relay to allow audio to
be sent to the station’s distributed speaker system. Based on Motorola’s
understanding of Floyd County’s operation, ‘day/night’ override switches have not
been included. Should the County desire for all stations to be notified of each
dispatch call, the all-call feature can be utilized to alert all stations simultaneously.

5.1.9.1 FSA Radio Equipment at each Fire Station


Each station radio will include:
♦ (1) antenna and RF cables required to provide reliable communications from the
Mount Alto repeater site
♦ (1) CDM1250 Control Station
♦ (1) Public Address (PA) Amplifier
♦ Associated wiring to connect CDM1250 output to PA and to existing Light and/or
Audible Alarm

5.1.9.2 FSA Radio Equipment at each EMS Station


Each station radio will include:
♦ (1) antenna and RF cables required to provide reliable communications from the
Mount Alto repeater site
♦ (1) XTL2500 Control Station
♦ (1) Public Address (PA) Amplifier
♦ Associated wiring to connect XTL2500 output to PA and to existing Light and/or
Audible Alarm

5.1.10 Regional Interoperability with Surrounding Agencies


As part of Motorola’s response, a complex network of radio access equipment has
been included to provide interoperability to each of the agencies identified in the
RFP. Neighboring agency radio communications are accessed with geographically
and frequency band appropriate control stations. The audio from these control
stations is wired directly into Motorola’s Conventional Channel Gateways (CCGWs),
which convert analog audio from the control station into ASTRO 25 IP audio
packets. Each neighboring communications channel can be linked to the ASTRO 25
users in one of two ways: 1) automatic “computer-controlled” audio links or 2)
manual “patching” by dispatchers at Floyd E911 or Floyd EOC. The automatic
scenario requires a specific Talkgroup to be permanently assigned to each

5.1.11 Hot Stand-by Microwave System


To provide the required site connectivity for the Motorola P25 radio system,
Motorola will provide and install a digital microwave system. This digital
microwave system will operate in the FCC licensed 6 GHz and 11 GHz bands and
will consist of the following links:
• Floyd Co E911 to Fouche Gap
• Fouche Gap to Cave Springs
• Cave Springs to Leonard
• Leonard to Hillindale
• Hillindale to Shannon AT&T
• Shannon AT&T to Mount Alto
• Mount Alto to Floyd Co E911

• Mount Alto to EOC Backup 911
• Mount Alto to Rocky Mountain
• Rocky Mountain to Taylor’s Ridge (Walker County)
• Blossom Hill to Floyd Co E911

The layout of these 11 links will consist of seven links in a “ring” configuration and
four “spur” links off of the ring. All radios, both within the ring and in the spurs, will
be configured for a “Hot Standby” mode of operation, in which the link will
automatically switch to a redundant radio upon failure of the primary radio. In
addition to the equipment redundancy already provided by this Hot Standby
configuration, sites within the ring will have the additional protection available
within a ring configuration of both the T1 connections via Sub-network Connection
Protection (SNCP) and the Ethernet connections via Route Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP). The microwave system has been configured with the Controllers and Hot
Standby radios mounted within the same cabinet and elliptical waveguide connecting
the radios to the high performance microwave dish antennas on the tower. This
design offers significant diversity and redundancy provided by the “1+1” Hot
Standby radios and loop microwave design. Should one radio fail, the other radio
will maintain operations without the reduction of bandwidth. Additionally, if both
radios should fail within the loop, the data would re-route itself around the opposite
side of the loop. Alternative radio configuration are available, including tower-
mounted radios with indoor controllers and a loop switched design without Hot
Standby radios. This configuration is available for Hot Standby hops and/or loop
designs and provides a higher fade margin using smaller microwave dish antennas
and reduces the load on the tower, while providing a significant cost savings.

Preliminary path design for this microwave system has been performed to insure that
each of the links will meet the performance requirements requested by Floyd County.
Each of the links has been designed to meet or exceed 99.99975% reliability, with
less than 78.8 outage seconds per year, and a minimum fade margin of 40dB. The
unfaded Bit Error Rate (BER) of the microwave radio equipment is less than 10-10
and the links have been designed for a maximum faded BER of 10-06. The link
outage level (10-3 BER) will not occur at less than 3 dB in excess of the calculated
fade margin. Specific path details have been included in Table 5-3 below:

The microwave network design provides a hybrid TDM/Ethernet solution, with full
Layer-2 switch capabilities, on a bandwidth that exceeds SONET throughput on a 30
MHz channel. Each link is currently configured for Ethernet, with two GigE ports
and five Fast Ethernet ports. The only exception to this is the Floyd 911 site, which
has been configured with two GigE ports and ten Fast Ethernet ports. Each link has
also been configured with a 16xDS1 port. Some of the key features of this
microwave network are:
♦ Industry leading system gain
♦ Full Layer-2 Ethernet Switching
♦ Native T1 and Native Ethernet (minimal latency)
♦ Dynamic bandwidth reallocation (T1’s that aren’t used are dynamically
reallocated to the Ethernet stream)
♦ High bandwidth efficiency
♦ GigE and Fast Ethernet ports
♦ Built-in SNCP and RSTP, to allow for ring protection for T1 and Ethernet
without the use of external routers or switches
♦ Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
♦ Link Aggregation
♦ Full Quality of Service (QOS) and Class of Service (COS) functionality
♦ Full OA&M functionality
♦ Software capable expansion

Power for the microwave system will be provided by -48VDC rectifier plants, which
have been included at each of the locations. To provide continued operation of the
microwave equipment, in the event of a power outage, each of the locations will also
include a standby battery system sized for 24-hours of operation. An automatic
low-voltage disconnect system will be utilized to protect the battery plant from
deep-cycle discharge damage.
The microwave system has been designed for ease of testing, troubleshooting and
repair of network components. Network Management and alarming of the
microwave system will be integrated into the overall Network Management of the
radio network, but may also be made available at a separate server dedicated to the
microwave system. A set of microwave equipment spares has been included with the
system, to provide for quick replacement of equipment failures. An Orderwire
channel will be available on the microwave network and an Orderwire handset has
been included at each microwave radio site, to further aid technicians in the testing
and troubleshooting of the network.

The proposed solution, which is fully compliant with the requirements of Floyd
County, consists of a Hot Standby microwave radios installed within the equipment
shelter connected to tower mounted dishes by waveguide. Motorola has identified
several potential alternative solutions, which would reduce the overall cost of the
transport system. The details of each of these alternatives are listed below and the
cost reductions are included in the pricing summary.
♦ In the proposed solution, all microwave radio, network and control equipment
would be installed within the equipment shelter, with waveguide connecting the
radio equipment to the dishes mounted on the towers. While this will simplify
repair and replacement of any malfunctioning radio equipment, it does add to the
expense of the transport system. An alternative solution would be to “split” the
equipment between the shelter and the tower, with network and control within the
shelter and the radio installed on the tower with the dish. This would eliminate
the need for the installation of waveguide on the tower and reduce the size of
dishes needed to meet the required 40 dB of fade margin on each link. These two
factors combined would not only reduce the overall cost of the transport system,
but would reduce the loading on the towers. While this limits the accessibility of
the radios, when paired with Hot Standby radios, the failed radio can be repaired
without impacting operation.

♦ In the proposed design, Hot Standby radios are utilized on each link within the
microwave transport network, as requested by Floyd County. While this
configuration is preferred for spur links, it provides a potentially unnecessary
level of redundancy on links within the loop. The protection inherent to the ring
configuration would provide an adequate level of link redundancy for sites within
the ring. An alternative solution would be to provide Hot Standby radios on the
spur links, while leaving the links within the loop in a standard configuration.
This will reduce the cost of the microwave transport network infrastructure.
♦ A third alternative configuration for the microwave transport network would be to
combine the first two suggested alternatives. Installing the microwave radio
equipment in a “Split-Mount” configuration and removing the Hot Standby
configuration from radios within the Loop would provide a more significant cost
savings than either alternative alone.

5.2 ASTRO 25 System Features


The ASTRO 25 system features Project 25 compliant trunking, as described in the
TIA 102 standard. In order to achieve this compliance, Motorola optimizes custom
solutions for mission-critical voice communications performance, more efficiently
than solutions that use commercial-off-the-shelf network components. When public
safety life or death decisions depend upon clear uninterrupted voice, Motorola has the
correct IP solution.

5.2.1 Simulcast
Capable of supporting up to 15 remote sites and 30 channels per site, our ASTRO 25
simulcast solution allows for extended system coverage, especially in areas where
spectrum is scarce. Motorola’s digital simulcast technology is IP-based and extremely
cost-effective, eliminating the typical audio distribution equipment found in previous
generation simulcast networks. The simulcast and repeater site designs offer ease of
radio operator use over large geographic areas throughout Floyd County.
The proposed solution also takes advantage of Motorola’s proven narrowband 12.5-
kHz 800-MHz platform, and adds IP-based network design for the highest degree of
reliability and flexibility.

5.2.2 700/800 MHz Operation


The proposed 800MHz system is comprised of network infrastructure and RF
distribution systems that are capable of operating as both 700MHz and 800MHz
frequencies. As requested, pricing options for an integrated digital “simulcast-only”
system and a “hybrid” simulcast/multi-site system have been provided. Both designs
utilize the same eight radio sites and provide seamless roaming for subscriber users

traveling throughout the County. Motorola has completed system loading studies
based on information provided in the RFP and considered the 25% increase in users
over the next five years. It was determined that 10 channels would provide enough
capacity to provide reliable public safety grade of service and a mean wait time of
less than one second. The hybrid multi-site solution minimizes infrastructure costs
and capitalizes on the reduced population and day-to-day County operations in the
Rocky Mountain/Texas Valley and northern “pocket” areas. These repeater sites
provide a five- channel trunking solution offering capacity for daily operation or
potential disaster response situations as explained by Floyd County during the pre-bid
conference in October. Both of these solutions have been designed to allow
straightforward channel addition of 700MHz channels or TDMA operation and will
not require replacement of any proposed RF distribution equipment.

5.2.3 Centralized System Management


Alerts, diagnostics, and faults in the system will be reported to two supervisor /
network management consoles. One supervisor console will be located at the Floyd
County 911 Zone Core / dispatch site and the other will be located at the Backup 911
/ EOC center, as per the RFP requirement. These consoles allow centralized system
monitoring and management to keep the system healthy.
The network management subsystem is made up of two Zone Servers which host the
necessary system-wide applications and databases required to maintain the ASTRO
25 system. The Zone Servers incorporate server virtualization technology, which
maximizes the utilization of the servers, provides adaptability to technology
enhancements, and better provides for future communication needs and migration.
The primary Zone Server combines the Primary Zone Controller with the Air Traffic
Router and the Zone Database Server. The second Zone Server hosts the backup
Zone Controller and the Network Management system. The Network Management
system is comprised of the software and infrastructure required for user management,
system management, fault management, and performance management and is
comprised of the following applications.
♦ Unified Network Configuration (UNC)
♦ User Configuration Manager (UCM)
♦ Unified Events Manager (UEM)
Additional information on the Network Management and alerting can be found in the
Network Management section of this proposal.

5.2.4 Vocoder-Based Encryption


Digital operation in general offers some level of security to system users. However,
the proposed ASTRO 25 simulcast system can support several standards-based

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-29


algorithms such as DES-OFB and AES. Motorola has selected AES Encryption for
all infrastructure, dispatch, and subscriber operation. Encryption keys must be
routinely changed to keep communications secure. Key loading is performed using
the Key Variable Loader (KVL) for each subscriber and console position in the
system.

5.2.5 ASTRO 25 Trunking Call Services


Motorola’s ASTRO 25 trunking system offers a wide range of advanced call services
to meet the demanding communications needs of a diverse, mission-critical
workforce. Several key calling features and benefits are described in the following
subsections.

5.2.5.1 Call Categories


Talkgroup Call is the primary communication level in an ASTRO 25 trunked system
as the majority of conversations take place within a talkgroup. Talkgroup Call
provides the effect of a “dedicated channel” for each talkgroup.
Emergency Alarm/Call provides users the ability to inform personnel of a life-
threatening situation by depressing the radio’s emergency alarm button. The
emergency indication is also logged and cleared at the network management client
terminal.
If all voice channels are occupied, the system is capable of functioning in one of the
following two modes.
♦ Emergency Top-of-Queue places the unit initiating the emergency at the top of
the busy queue list and allows access to the next available voice channel.
♦ Emergency Ruthless Preemption allows the unit initiating the emergency access
to the voice channel with the lowest priority user currently assigned. Once the
non-emergency user de-keys, the channel belongs to the emergency user.
Private Call allows selective call to another individual user in the system regardless
of what talkgroup either unit has selected.
Call Alert allows selective sending of a signal to another user to call back the
alerting party. Call alert remains enabled until cleared by the alerted party. This
feature helps ensure that important messages get through, even if the called party is
away from the radio. Call alert signaling takes place over the system control channel,
so it is no burden on the valuable voice channels.

Busy Queuing and Callback


Although ASTRO 25 trunking systems are considerably more frequency efficient
than conventional radio systems, there may still be times when all of the voice
Floyd County, Georgia
Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-30 ASTRO 25 System Description


channels are busy. If a radio user attempts to initiate a call while all the system
channels are in use, the requesting user will be put into a busy queue and then
automatically notified when a channel becomes available. This feature allows the
radio user to place the microphone down during a busy situation instead of
continually re-keying in an effort to gain channel access.

Multiple Priority Levels


ASTRO 25 IP provides multiple levels of priority allowing system access to the most
critical users during busy periods. Individual users and talkgroups may be assigned
specific priority level(s), with up to ten levels supported for each, which will allow
higher priority users to be placed higher in the busy queue for quicker system access.
The ASTRO 25 IP system allows for flexible assignment of priority levels to meet
your organizational needs.

Continuous Assignment Updating


This feature is designed to assure that a radio just coming into service during an
active talkgroup conversation will be immediately assigned to the appropriate voice
channel. The user will be included in his or her active talkgroup call with no special
action required. To achieve this, the ASTRO 25 IP system control channel
continuously transmits the channel assignment for talkgroups involved in active calls.

5.2.6 Network Management System


The Network Management System (NMS) can be viewed as a set of software
applications or tools used to manage the ASTRO 25 wide area trunked radio system
and its constituent components.
The NMS supports the following services:
♦ Network Monitoring – Applications are included for monitoring the status of the
transport network and the individual infrastructure components; displaying status
information; forwarding alert information; and performing diagnostic procedures.
♦ Configuration Management – Facilities are provided for entering and
maintaining the operational parameters of the infrastructure components and user
devices (i.e., the mobile and portable radios).
♦ Accounting Management – NMS supports the tracking of radio usage of the
system by providing an optional interface to third party accounting and/or billing
applications.
♦ Performance Management – Standard and optional applications are available for
monitoring, reporting, controlling, and optimizing the use of system resources.
♦ Security Management – NMS includes features for setting user privileges and
controlling their access to view and/or modify information contained in the
configuration databases.

Radio Configuration/Radio User Report (Included)

Basic Radio Control Manager (RCM)


The RCM application provides two types of functions: radio commands can be
initiated (e.g., Dynamic Regrouping and Selective Inhibit) and radio events are
displayed (e.g., Status and Emergency Alarm). A sample RCM screen is shown in
Figure 5-7. The RCM has the following features:
♦ Dynamic Regrouping – Dynamic Regrouping allows a dispatcher or system
manager to dynamically program an affiliated radio user to a particular talkgroup.
The dynamic regrouping function is implemented within one second per
regrouped radio. A companion function “Cancel Regroup” cancels the regrouping
command and removes the radio from the regrouped talkgroup. When a radio is
regrouped, the subscriber will acknowledge (ACK) the command, and the ACK is
sent to the initiating terminal. The subscriber will generate an audible noise
indicating to the user that the radio has been regrouped.
♦ Storm Plans – Storm Plans provide the system with a consistent procedure for
special or emergency situations. A completed Storm Plan can have a maximum of
four commands, each containing a maximum of 100 individual radio tasks.
♦ Selective Inhibit/Un-inhibit – Selective Radio Inhibit enables a user to
functionally disable a subscriber unit that is currently affiliated to the system.
This feature can be used to disable stolen radios or invalid users. If the initial
inhibit command fails within 30 seconds, a notice is sent to the initiating terminal
to select either endless search or quit. The companion function “Cancel Inhibit”,
reactivates the radio in the same manner.
Other features include:
♦ GUI for ease of use
♦ Status function
♦ Online help

5.2.6.12 MOSCAD Network Fault Management (NFM) System
The ASTRO 25 system management tools, along with Motorola’s MOSCAD NFM
server, provide the ability to display and log detailed information on a variety of RF
and non-RF site equipment. MOSCAD provides high-resolution graphics of the
devices connected to MOSCAD SDM3000 Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) at sites
within the system. Information presented allows system operators easy access to
detailed equipment views.
Motorola is proposing a MOSCAD™ (Motorola Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition) Fault Management for the monitoring and control of the County’s radio
sites. The Motorola MOSCAD system will provide the County with the ability to
continuously monitor non-SNMP devices and inputs for both normal and exceptional
conditions from each on the radio sites. This task is made very easy through
MOSCAD’s SDM3000 Node Translator (SNT), Graphic Master Central (GMC), and
Graphical Workstation (GWS).
Motorola’s MOSCAD provides real time monitoring and remote control for the
County’s various subsystems. It monitors equipment faults and diagnostic messages
in the following:
1. RS-232 Alarming of Third Party Equipment
ƒTRAK GPS
ƒ Microwave Radio
2. Discrete Alarms at Remote RF Sites, such as
ƒ Door entry
ƒ Temperature limits
ƒ Power failures

The SDM3000 RTU forwards the faults to the MOSCAD GMC, where they are
graphically displayed. The SDM3000 RTUs also forward the faults to Motorola’s
FullVision Network Manager via SNMP.

Basic Alarm Operation


When the MOSCAD system detects a fault from any of the County sites and
monitored elements, the GMC and GWS computer will change the alarmed device
icon from green to red. Critical alarms will generate an audible alert tone. The
audible alert tone will sound even if a user is not logged into the InTouch™ software.
If the alarm condition goes away, the alert tones will not reset on its own accord, this
feature is included so that a County operator is forced to view the system status and
acknowledge the alarm. The site icon will remain red until corrective action is taken
on all alarms at the site.

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-40 ASTRO 25 System Description


All discrete alarm point reporting and control functions are accomplished through
SDM3000 RTUs and SDM3000 Node Translator (SNT). Each of the County RF sites
will be equipped with a MOSCAD SDM3000 RTU and IP Interface.
The MOSCAD SDM3000 RTU is a universal microprocessor controlled device that
serves as the actual equipment interface at the sites for the alarm and control
subsystem. The SDM3000 RTU will read faults and send them to the SDM3000
Node Translator (SNT) location. The SDM3000 RTU will receive control commands
from the GMC via the SDM3000 Node Translator (SNT) and provide serially
interfaced commands to RF equipment or contact closure to outside equipment to
carry out commands.

Fault Reporting (Polling and Contention)


The GMC will verify the SDM3000 RTU’s functional status periodically and
automatically polls each of the SDM3000 RTUs. Any faults that are detected during
polling tests are immediately reported to, and alarmed by, the GMC and GWS.

CPU Alarm Diagnostic Interface


The MOSCAD CPU is part of the SDM3000 RTUs at the remote sites and the control
sites. The CPU provides RS-232 serial alarm diagnostic interfaces to various
processor based RF communication devices for the purpose of receiving and
reporting faults from the devices. The serial interface can allow remote
troubleshooting and remote parameter programming changes to processor based
equipment such as the TeNSr and TRAK.

Graphic Work Station


The GWS provides a remote user with access to all of monitoring functionality of the
GMC but lacks the GMC’s ability to configure the system hardware. One GWS will
be located at the Floyd County 911 supervisor position and one will be located at the
EOC Backup 911 supervisor position to give the supervisor the ability to monitor the
system.

Operator Interface
The operator interface will utilize graphical user interface and text messages to
present information to the user. The users will log on to the system by entering a user
name and password. If the user name and password are valid, further navigation and
activity choices will be presented to the user. If a critical alarm is detected at any of
the sites, a site icon will flash red on the GMC and GWS system screen. When one
navigates to the affected site, a flashing red light will indicate the specific entity at
the site that is presenting the alarm. The alarm will remain in red text until the alarm
has been corrected. The alarm and acknowledgment will be recorded to log for later
reference. All alarm data will also be printed out as it is recorded.

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-41


Graphic Master Central
The GMC interfaces with the SDM3000 Node Translator (SNT) and provides a
graphical user interface for monitoring and controlling devices in each subsystem.
The GMC will run InTouch by WonderWare, a Windows-based software package. It
will present a graphical representation of the physical devices used to monitor
equipment at remote sites.
The GMC is virtualized on a Zone Core servers and it will allow viewing and
controlling of the entire system. The GMC will be located at the Floyd County 911
and connects into the MOSCAD system via the ASTRO IP backbone. The graphic
display and database is based upon the InTouch Windows-based application. This
software package resides on the GMC. The custom graphic screens depict current
system status where the user can easily navigate from a system view down to the
individual site details. All system alarms, Change of States (COS), and controls are
time stamped and stored in the alarm history file. History files allow for retrieval of
important information at all times.

Remote Dialup Laptop (available, but not proposed)


MOSCAD also provides the capability for a remote dial-up Graphic WorkStation
(GWS) with identical custom graphics as the GMC. The GWS uses the same InTouch
graphics application and custom display files but is reliant on the GMC databases for
MOSCAD SDM3000 RTU information update and control. Real-time system alarms,
status, and control are provided to the remote access GWS via a physical dial-up
modem link interfacing to the GMC. WonderWare’s NetDDE™ for Windows is the
communication protocol for this type of system operation. If the custom screens for
the GMC are modified, added, or deleted, then the remote GWS computers will
require similar software updates as well.

GMC Security
Security on the GMC will be based on a user’s login name and password. These
functions are provided with the InTouch software package and will be implemented
based on a list of users and access levels. A logon screen will be provided that will
allow a user to log on to the system by entering their access name and password.
When no user is logged on, no information will be displayed on the screen and no
controls will be able to be sent. The audible alarm will still sound even if no user is
logged on. If a user forgets to log off, the system will automatically log the person off
after 30 minutes (this time is configurable).

GMC Graphic Screens


The GMC node will be programmed to provide several layers of screens depending
on the preference of the customer. The first layer will typically consist of a single
operator screen called a System Overview Screen. The information is in tabular or
map form showing the site locations and is push button selectable. The second screen
Floyd County, Georgia
Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-42 ASTRO 25 System Description


layer will typically display an individual site in tabular/graphic form and again push
button selectable. A third layer of screens will be the individual site component itself
(channel bank, RF network, microwave radio, other site support equipment, etc.),
showing all status information for the particular system component. A final layer
would break down the other site alarms.
A System Health Screen will also be provided to give MOSCAD system-related
status information such as internal SDM3000 RTU status. Also available from the
system health screen are communication statistics relative to number of COS, retry
percentage, and polling frequency. The final screen provided is an alarm summary,
which provides a list of any outstanding alarms and unacknowledged alarms that
have returned to normal.

GMC Screen Navigation


The following is a typical alarm navigation procedure. If an alarm occurs at a
particular site, the system overview screen will indicate a flashing alarm condition for
that site. The operator will then pull up the Site Screen for the alarming system
component. By locating the flashing system component, the operator can determine
the affected equipment. Finally, the operator will pull up the System Component
screen to determine the alarming item and acknowledge the incoming alarm
condition. The System Health screen will be accessed though the System Overview
screen. Access will be available to the Alarm Summary screen from any of the other
screens.

MOSCAD SDM3000 Node Translator (SNT)


The MOSCAD SDM3000 Node Translator (SNT) is the bridge between the GMC
and the MOSCAD SDM3000 RTU network, via the ASTRO 25 IP communication
backbone. MOSCAD will communicate over the backbone using the MOSCAD
seven-layer MDLC protocol. MDLC is a Motorola protocol designed in accordance
with the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model recommended by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The MOSCAD Programming ToolBox


The MOSCAD SDM3000 Node Translator (SNT) and SDM3000 RTU(s) are
programmed via a DOS-based software package known as the MOSCAD
Programming Toolbox. Each MOSCAD can be programmed locally or remotely
(dialup) via a DOS-compatible laptop computer. One MOSCAD CPU has an external
auto-answer modem for remote ToolBox access. The ToolBox does NOT have a GUI
for these local or remote dial-in devices; therefore, the user must be
experienced/trained with the ToolBox application for this mode of system operation.
These remote dial-in links are also used for system maintenance and upgrades by
means of the ToolBox upload/download capability.

MOSCAD SDM3000 RTU
The MOSCAD Network Fault Management (NFM) SDM3000 RTU acts as the
primary interface to the site devices. The SDM3000 RTU acts as an intelligent site
management terminal that allows for continuous monitoring of critical site
components and alarms. These include environmental indications, Premisys (TeNSr)
channel bank and TRAK GPS equipment. Additionally, the MOSCAD NFM
SDM3000 RTU allows remote configuration, remote diagnostics, and remote
programming of the TeNSr.
The NFM SDM3000 RTU communicates with GMC via the IP Interface and
forwards any alarms or events to the GMC over the ASTRO 25 WAN.
The NFM SDM3000 RTU also routes alarms information to the FullVision INM and
to the Motorola System Support Center via the IP-interface at each remote site,
located on the ASTRO 25 LAN.
As proposed, this system includes a MOSCAD NFM SDM3000 RTU for each RF
site in the system. Each of the MOSCAD NFM SDM3000 RTUs is provided with
digital and analog alarm inputs, and relay outputs for control of external devices.
These inputs and outputs may be used by the County to interface to site alarm devices
such as power, intrusion, lights, and other site alarms.

Inputs and Outputs Included On Each MOSCAD SDM3000 RTU


48 Digital Inputs (DI) providing 48 dry-contact inputs; any of the inputs may be used
as low-speed counters under application control. The module provides an isolated
current so that the open/closed state of the sensor may be determined. Each of the
inputs is opto-isolated from the remaining circuitry on the module to provide
maximum input surge immunity.
Eight Analog Inputs (AI), can be provided in various options supporting wither eight
4-20 ma inputs; eight ±1 ma inputs; eight ±2 ma inputs; eight ±1 VDC inputs; eight
±2.5 VDC inputs; or eight ±5 VDC inputs. Each of the eight inputs, plus ground and
temperature, are opto-switched into a precision A-to-D converter; ground is measured
so short-term drift may be cancelled and temperature is measured so that the
temperature drift associated with all silicon-based chips may be negated.
16 Digital Outputs (DO) providing 16 low-current relay outputs; 12 of the relays have
Form A contacts and four relays have Form C contacts. Magnetically latched relays
should be used in systems that require long operation from the backup battery when
the mains power fails; electrically energized relays should be used when it is
mandatory that the relays open following loss of power or when the module is
removed from the SDM3000 RTU. Each relay has an internal feedback contact that
the application may use to verify that the relay is open or closed. All connections to
the relays are made via plug-in screw terminals on the module, and all relays have
surge arresting devices installed.

5.2.7 MCC7500 System Description


The MCC7500 console features an intuitive, Graphical User Interface (GUI) which ,
operates under the Microsoft Windows® platform and follows the same standards as
other Windows programs around the world. The screen layout is simple and uses
valuable space efficiently. Key information and critical functions are clearly
identified with easy to understand icons. Dispatchers can quickly recognize these
icons instead of reading text, hence maximizing their productivity.
Many tasks can be completed more quickly and easily than ever before with the
MCC7500 consoles. Channels or talkgroups are displayed in on-screen “folders” for
prioritization. Flashing red indicators easily identify incoming emergencies.
Dispatchers can see information about who is calling, such as the time and call type.
Trunked callers can be identified by real names versus numerical IDs.

5.2.7.1 Architecture Overview


The MCC7500 Dispatch Console is Motorola’s IP high-tier radio dispatch console
system designed for use in our ASTRO 25 trunking systems.
Some of the more important features of the MCC7500 Console include:
♦ Seamless integration with ASTRO 25 trunking systems:
ƒ Supports the IP protocols of the trunking system’s transport network; no
circuit-switched network to packet-switched network conversion equipment is
necessary

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-45


ƒ Encryption and decryption is performed within the dispatch consoles, which
allows true end-to-end encryption in the radio system.
ƒ Participation in the radio system’s agency partitioning functionality.
ƒ Configuration of the console subsystem via the radio system’s centralized
configuration subsystem (Network Manager) so the user has a single point to
configure the radio system. The configuration subsystem may be accessed
from multiple remote locations so users can still have convenient access while
enjoying the benefits of centralized configuration.
ƒ Management of the console subsystem via the radio system’s centralized
network management subsystem so the customer has a single point for
managing faults, accounting, performance, and security of the radio system.
The network management subsystem may be accessed from multiple remote
locations so customers can still have convenient access while enjoying the
benefits of centralized management.
♦ Centralized and/or distributed logging of conventional and trunked radio audio
associated radio call information and certain radio system events.
♦ Higher capacities in numerous areas (64,000 talkgroups, thousands of logging
“tracks”).

5.2.7.2 Connection of MCC7500 to IP Network


Motorola MCC7500 console equipment connects directly to the trunking system’s IP
transport network. It uses the IP packet protocols for passing call control data and call
audio through the system. Figure 5-9 shows a high-level diagram of how Motorola
MCC7500 equipment fits into the ASTRO 25 system.

Figure 5-10: Elite Dispatch GUI

The Elite Dispatch GUI is based on Microsoft Windows GUI programming standards
and contains many controls, displays, and features, which are familiar to anyone who
has used Windows-based applications. These features are described in detail in the
following sections.

Pull Down Menus


The Elite Dispatch GUI provides the following pull down menus on a menu bar
across the top of the dispatch window:
♦ Configuration - Provides access to the configuration files used by the Elite
Dispatch GUI. Also allows the dispatch application to be exited.
♦ Edit - Allows various aspects of how audio, resources, and features are presented
to the user on the Elite Dispatch GUI to be edited. Changes made using this menu
are not permanent and are lost when the dispatch application is exited.
♦ View - Allows the dispatch console user to control whether or not the Activity
Log and Auxiliary I/O Windows are shown.
♦ Folders - Allows the dispatch console user to switch between folders, add folders,
and change the folder tab width. Changes made using this menu are not
permanent and are lost when the dispatch application is exited.
♦ Help - Provides access to detailed on-line help for using the Elite Dispatch GUI.
The user may customize which menus are displayed and what they contain via the
Elite Admin application.

5-48 ASTRO 25 System Description


Toolbars
Up to two toolbars may be present across the top of the dispatch window and may be
used to provide quick access to frequently used features. The following are examples
of the items that may be placed in the toolbars:
♦ Clock
♦ General Transmit Button
♦ Monitor Button
♦ All Mute Button
Many other items may be placed in the toolbars. The Elite Admin application is used
to define how many tool bars are displayed and what they contain.

Status Line
A status bar is provided across the bottom of the dispatch window for viewing the
status of the dispatch console as well as various error messages. The most current
status or error message is displayed in the status line until cleared by the dispatch
console user. The dispatch console user may scroll through the last 10 statuses/error
messages to view them and may clear them by using the Features menu on the menu
bar.

Resource Folders
The Elite Dispatch GUI provides up to six resource folders for organizing the various
resources (radio resources, auxiliary input/output resources, etc) which are assigned
to the dispatch console. These folders may be given descriptive names to simplify the
organization of the resources.
The resources on a folder are displayed when the dispatch console user clicks on the
folder tab. Resources on folders that are hidden behind the one being displayed
continue to operate in a normal manner. Radio resource audio on a hidden folder
appears in the appropriate speakers/headsets along with a visual call indication on the
folder tab. If an emergency alarm or call is received on a radio resource that is located
on a hidden folder, a visual emergency indication is displayed on the folder tab.
A resource may be placed on more than one folder at the same time. This allows
customers to create folders for special situations without having to move resources
back and forth between folders.
The Elite Admin application is used to configure how many folders appear on the
Elite Dispatch GUI and which resources appear on each folder. It is also used to put
descriptive names on the folder tabs.
During dispatch operations the dispatch console user may, if so configured by the
Elite Admin application, be able to add, remove, or move resources on the folders. If

this is done, these changes are not saved if the user logs off or changes configuration
files for the dispatch application.
Up to 36 compressed radio resources may be viewed on one folder when the program
is run in the standard 800 x 600 resolution and there is no patch or multi-select
folders. If patch and multi-select folders are used and are set to the minimum height,
then 31 compressed resources may be viewed. To figure the number of auxiliary
input/output resources that could also be viewed, use the rule of thumb that two
auxiliary resources can fit in the same space as one radio resource. In other words,
instead of 10 radio resources, 20 auxiliary resources could fit in the same space. If the
program is run in 1024 x 768 resolution, there is room for even more radio and
auxiliary resources per folder.

Radio Resources
Voice communication paths in the radio system are represented as radio resources on
the Elite Dispatch GUI. Radio resources are also referred to as “tiles” on the Elite
Dispatch GUI. These radio resources are used by the dispatch console user to
communicate on and control the radio system.
The following radio resources are supported:
♦ Trunked Talkgroups
♦ Trunked Announcement Groups
♦ Trunked Private Calls
♦ Analog Conventional Channels

Indicators and Controls


A radio resource contains indicators and controls that allow the dispatch console user
to monitor and control various aspects of the radio channel. Examples of the
indicators and controls that may appear on a radio resource include:
♦ Instant Transmit Button
♦ Transmit Active/Transmit Busy Indications
♦ Patch Active/Patch Busy Indications
♦ Received Call Indication
♦ Received Call Stack
♦ Individual Volume Control
The types of indicators and controls that appear on the radio resource depend on the
type of radio channel it represents and how it has been configured in the Elite Admin
application. The radio resource may be configured to always show the indicators and
controls or to allow the dispatch console user to hide them when not in use to save
space on the screen.

Figure 5-13: Expanded Radio Resource

Full parallel status for radio resources is reflected across all the dispatch consoles that
have these radio resources assigned on them. That is, any activity or change on a
radio resource appears on all dispatch consoles that have that resource assigned on
them.

Received Call Stack


The received call stack provides the dispatch console user with a visual record of the
most recent inbound calls on radio resources. This allows the dispatch console user to
keep track of calls during busy traffic periods.
Outbound calls on radio resources from dispatch consoles (both the dispatch console
containing the received call stack or parallel dispatch consoles) are not shown in the
received call stack.
The calls are displayed in list format on a radio resource with the most recent calls at
the top of the list. The number of calls displayed in the list is configurable as is the
type of information displayed. The types of information that can be displayed are unit
ID, unit ID alias, site ID, zone ID and, type of call and time. If an alias is available
for a piece of information it is displayed, otherwise the raw information is displayed.

Received
Call Stack

Figure 5-14: Received Call Stack on a Radio Resource

The received call stack provides a quick way for a dispatch console user to respond to
calls in the stack. Various types of mouse clicks on calls in the stack provide the
dispatch console user with different ways to reply to the call.
The received call stack is configurable on a per-resource per-console basis, so a
resource on one dispatch console can have it while the same resource on another
dispatch console does not have it.
The received call stack has a fixed memory of 25 calls, but the number of calls that
are displayed is configurable via the Elite Admin application. The number displayed
may be set anywhere from three to 24 calls in increments of three. Regardless of how
many calls are actually displayed, the dispatch console user can always scroll through
all 25 calls in the stack’s memory.
Stack display size is configured on a per radio resource per dispatch console basis.
That is, each resource on a dispatch console may have different sized stack displays
and the same resource on different dispatch consoles may have different sized stack
displays.
The dispatch console user can delete individual calls from the received call stack. All
of the calls listed in a received call stack can also be deleted with a single action.

Auxiliary Input and Output Resources


Control relays and input buffers are represented as auxiliary input and output
resources on the Elite Dispatch GUI. These auxiliary input and output resources are
used by the dispatch console user to monitor the state of input buffers and
monitor/control the state of control relays.
The auxiliary input and output resources are represented by various graphical icons
that change their appearance based on the state of the resource. The particular icon
that is associated with an input or output is configured by the Elite Admin
application. Examples of some of the icons that may be used are shown in Figure
5-15

Figure 5-15: Auxiliary Input/Output Resource Icons

Auxiliary input and output resources may be grouped together so that they can be
moved or assigned/de-assigned as a group. This is useful for situations where the
auxiliary input output resources are being used to interface to comparators or other
devices that require multiple control relays or input buffers.
Auxiliary output resources may be protected by a “safety switch” to help prevent
unintended activation or deactivation. In order to activate or deactivate an auxiliary
output that is protected by a safety switch, the dispatch console user must first press
the safety switch and then press the auxiliary output.
Latched auxiliary input resources may also be protected by a “safety switch” to help
prevent unintended clearing of an active input. In order to clear a latched auxiliary
input that is protected by a safety switch, the dispatch console user must first press
the safety switch and then clear the auxiliary input.
Full parallel status for auxiliary inputs and outputs is reflected across all the dispatch
consoles that have the auxiliary inputs and output resources assigned on them. That
is, if an auxiliary input or output changes state, the change of state is reflected on all
the other dispatch consoles that have that auxiliary input or output assigned on them.
Auxiliary input and output resources may also be placed on a separate auxiliary input
and output window that is capable of being hidden when not needed. A button on one
of the tool bars is used to open and hide the window. This allows the dispatch console
user too easily and quickly access auxiliary input and output resources that are
infrequently used without permanently consuming space on the screen.

Patch and Multi-Select Folders


The patch and multi-select features are accessed via a set of dedicated folders on the
Elite Dispatch GUI. These folders are smaller than the resource folders and may be
placed on the screen to suit the dispatch console user’s preferences. The placement is

done in the Elite Admin application. There can be up to sixteen patch folders and
three multi-select folders.

Patch Folders
Clicking on one of the patch folder tabs brings it into view. The patch group is then
opened by clicking on the left-most button on the folder. Once the patch group is
open, the patch group is editable and members may be added or removed from the
patch group by clicking on the desired radio resources. Note that patch groups are
active whenever there are members assigned to them. This is true even if the patch
group is not open.
The members of the patch group are shown on the patch folder along with the status
of each member (patched or pending). The resources in the patch also show an
indication that they are in a patch group.
Some patch groups contain members that were pre-assigned by the Elite Admin
application. These patch groups become active as soon as possible after the dispatch
console begins using the configuration file that contains the pre-assigned patch
groups. The dispatch console user can add/remove members from the pre-assigned
patch group, but these additions/removals are lost when the dispatch console either
re-loads the configuration file or changes to a different configuration file.
A patch transmit button is provided on the patch folder to allow the dispatch console
user to easily transmit on all members of the patch group with a single button press.
Figure 5-16 shows an example of a patch folder containing some radio resources.

Figure 5-16: Patch Folder

Multi-Select Folder
Clicking on one of the multi-select folder tabs brings it into view. The multi-select
group is then opened by clicking on the left-most button on the folder. Once the
multi-select group is open, the multi-select becomes active and members can be
added or removed from the group by clicking on the desired radio resources. Closing
the multi-select folder (by clicking on the left-most button a second time) deactivates
the multi-select group.
Note that this operation is different from that of the patch folders. A dispatch console
can only have one multi-select group active at a time, but it can have multiple patch
groups simultaneously active.
The members of the multi-select group are shown on the multi-select folder.
Some multi-select groups contain members that were pre-assigned by the Elite
Admin application. The dispatch console user can add/remove members from the pre-
assigned multi-select group, but these additions/removals are lost when the dispatch
console either re-loads the configuration file or changes to a different configuration
file.

Activity Log Window


The activity log window can be used by the dispatch console user as a point of
reference for all calls coming into the dispatch console. The activity log shows call
information associated with all incoming radio calls such as the name of the radio
resource and the time of the call. Incoming calls from all radio resources assigned to
the dispatch console are displayed in the activity log.
Figure 5-18 is an example of an activity log window.

Activity Log
Resource
Tile

List of Calls

Figure 5-18: Activity Log Window

Up to 1,000 calls can be held in the activity log. The most recent call is on the top of
the list and the oldest at the bottom. Once the list is filled, the oldest calls are
discarded as new calls come in. The dispatch console user may resize the activity log
to show various numbers of calls. For example, when there is light activity, the
dispatch console user may choose to show only a few calls. During busy hours, the
dispatch console user may view more calls by simply dragging the lower right hand
corner of the activity log (making it longer) to see additional calls.
Dispatch console users may respond to incoming calls simply by clicking on a call in
the list. When this is done, the entry appears highlighted and the name of the radio
resource appears on the activity log resource tile at the top of the activity log. The
dispatch console user can then press the instant transmit button on the activity log
resource tile to communicate with that radio resource.
The information displayed by the activity log can be customized to suit the dispatch
console user’s needs. The activity log can be configured to show combinations of
Resource Name, Unit ID or Alias, Status Number or Alias, Receiving Site ID,
Receiving Zone ID and Time. This configuration is done via the Elite Admin
application and, if so configured, via the dispatch console user interface.
There are two levels of control over whether or not the activity log is displayed on a
dispatch console. The first level is via the Elite Admin application, which controls

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-57


whether or not a dispatch console has the capability of displaying the activity log.
The second level is via the dispatch console user interface where the dispatch console
user can choose to view or not view the activity log. Note that if the dispatch console
has not been given the capability of displaying the activity log, then the dispatch
console user cannot see the activity log at all.
The number of lines that are initially displayed by the activity log is configurable via
the Elite Admin application or the dispatch console user interface. The number of
lines that are displayed may also be changed in real time by changing the size of the
activity log window using standard Microsoft Windows resizing techniques. The user
can scroll through all the entries in the activity log even if they cannot all be
displayed at once.
The information listed in the activity log can be stored in a text file on the dispatch
console’s hard disk. The size of the text file can be specified to be between 1 MB and
20 MB. When the file fills up, new data overwrites old data beginning with the oldest
data. All data associated with a call is logged to the file, regardless of what portion of
the data is actually shown in the activity log window.

Help
The dispatch console is designed to allow the dispatch console user to quickly access
information on how to use its features. This help is available right on the dispatch
console graphical user interface.
There are three types of help available to the dispatch console user: On Line, Micro,
and Tool Tips.

Online Help
Online Help provides detailed information on how to use the dispatch console. The
user accesses Online Help via the Help menu on the menu bar. The user can search
for topics or keywords to quickly find the desired information or the user can use a
table of contents to find the information. The information is displayed in a pop-up
window on the dispatch user interface.
Online Help allows new dispatch console users to shorten their learning curve and
more experienced dispatch console users to quickly remember how to operate
seldom-used features.

Micro Help
Micro Help provides information about the state of controls or indicators in a
resource tile. When the cursor is placed over a control or indicator on a resource tile,
a description of the control or indicator’s state is given across the bottom of the
resource tile. Figure 5-19 illustrates Micro Help text on a radio resource. The text
across the bottom of the resource describes the icon to which the cursor is pointing.

Tool Tips Help


Tool Tips Help provides information about tool bar buttons and menu bar menus to
the dispatch console user. When the cursor is placed over a toolbar button, the
button’s name appears in a small pop-up window next to the cursor and a short
explanation of the button appears in the status bar at the bottom of the dispatch user
interface window. When the cursor is moved across a menu item in a menu, a
description of the menu item appears in the status bar at the bottom of the dispatch
user interface window.
The text displayed by the Tool Tips feature may be edited via the Elite Admin
application.
Tool Tips allow a dispatch console user to see a short explanation of the button or
menu item of interest quickly.

Elite Admin Application


The manner in which resources and audio are presented to the dispatch console user
on the MCC7500 dispatch console is managed by the Elite Admin application. The
look and feel of the Elite Dispatch GUI, as well as how received audio is routed on
the dispatch console, can be optimized to meet customers’ needs.
The following sections describe how configurations for the Elite Dispatch GUI are
managed and what can be configured on the dispatch console via the Elite Admin
application.

Floyd County, Georgia

RFP# 101216

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-59


Managing Dispatch Screens
When it first starts running, the Elite Dispatch GUI application reads a configuration
file that tells it what should appear on the GUI and how received audio should be
routed on the dispatch console. These configuration files are created by properly
trained personnel using the Elite Admin application. They are often called “ELT”
files because their file names have an “.elt” suffix.
Multiple ELT files may be created to address different situations. For example,
different ELT files can be created for different shifts in a dispatch center if the scope
of dispatching changes significantly between shifts. Alternatively, different
configuration files can be created for individual dispatch console users to meet their
personal preferences.
A dispatch console user may switch between ELT files during normal operations, but
cannot access any resources while the original file is being closed and the new file is
being opened.
The ELT files may be stored locally on the dispatch console computer, on a different
dispatch console computer, or in a central location. The choice on where to store the
files depends on many factors such as:
♦ Accessibility to the files - Do all dispatch console users need to access all the
ELT files? If multiple agencies share a dispatch center, do they want to be able to
access each other’s files?
♦ Ease of managing the files - Are the dispatch consoles located in one physical
location or are they geographically separated? Is one person managing the files or
are multiple people managing them?
♦ The topology of the radio system’s IP network - Are there servers (such as
Domain Controllers) located at the dispatch console location that can be used to
store the files? If the files are stored on a server, do the dispatch consoles have to
retrieve them across WAN links?
By default, when the Elite Dispatch GUI application starts up it asks the dispatch
console user to specify which ELT file it should use. If this is not the customer’s
preferred mode of operation, the dispatch console can be configured so that it

Conventional Channel Gateway


Conventional channels are much more integrated into the trunking systems than in
previous radio – console configurations. The zone controller manages conventional
channels in a manner similar to how it manages trunked talkgroups. The physical

interface to the analog conventional stations also changes from previous radio
systems. RF site routers are fitted with 4-wire interface cards, which are connected to
the analog stations.
Doing this provides two key benefits:
♦ It allows the conventional audio to use the same transport network as the trunked
audio
♦ It reduces the number of individual interface devices in the radio system
The portion of the router hardware and software that support the conventional
stations is called the Conventional Channel Gateway (CCGW).
To interface to analog conventional stations, the routers must be able to vocode and
de-vocode the conventional audio, key the station, detect when the station sends
audio to the router and detect when a parallel deskset console transmits on the station.
This capability has been added to the routers used in Motorola’s trunking systems.
Motorola has proposed CCGW equipment to support eight (8) of the conventional
stations.

Physical Interface to Station


The Motorola MCC7500 conventional channel gateway provides four ports (per
router) to which analog conventional base stations may be connected. Each port
contains the following inputs and outputs.
♦ 600 Ohm, balanced analog audio input - Used to accept radio audio from the base
station
♦ 600 Ohm, balanced analog audio output - Used to send console transmit audio to
the base station
♦ Input buffer - Used to detect Carrier Operated Relay (COR) closure in the base
station
♦ 1 Amp, 24 VDC relay output - Used for relay keying of the base station
Each port is manifested as an RJ45 connector on the router.

Supported Configurations
The Motorola MCC7500 conventional channel gateway supports the following types
of analog conventional base stations.
♦ R1
♦ T1R1
♦ T1R1 w/Paging
♦ T2R2
♦ T4R4

♦ T8R8
♦ T12R12
♦ T14R14
TnnR channels must be supported using combinations of T1R1 channels.

Auxiliary Inputs and Outputs


The MCC7500 supports the ability to control or monitor Auxiliary inputs and outputs
(Aux I/Os) that allow customers to control external devices via relay closures and
sense the state of external devices via input buffers from the dispatch console. These
Aux I/O’s are referred to as Public Aux I/Os. Public Aux I/Os are accessible by more
than one dispatch console. A change in state of the Aux I/O is reflected across all of
the dispatch consoles that have it assigned on their user interfaces. These Aux I/Os
are typically physically located in a common location that is shared by all the
dispatch consoles.
The Motorola MCC7500 dispatch console supports Public Aux I/Os by accessing and
controlling MOSCAD RTUs and displaying the status of the RTUs’ inputs and
outputs on its user interface. A separate window to display the MOSCAD inputs and
outputs is not required on the dispatch console.
Graphical icons provided by the dispatch console GUI are used to represent both the
function and state of relay outputs. For example, an icon consisting of a light bulb
may be used to represent a relay output that is controlling lighting of some type. The
dispatch console user would click on the button associated with the icon to change
the state of the relay output and the icon would change between a lighted bulb and an
unlighted bulb to reflect the state of the lighting.
Graphical icons are also used to provide a visual indication of both the function and
state of external inputs. For example, an icon consisting of a door may be used to
represent an external input that is connected to a door position sensor. The door can
be shown in the open state when the sensor says the door is open and it can be shown
in the closed state when the sensor says it is closed.
Multiple dispatch consoles may monitor and control the same relay output and/or
external inputs. In this case, state changes are indicated across all dispatch consoles
simultaneously.
Individual relay outputs can be configured so that they require a safety switch to be
pressed before they respond to any commands from the dispatch console user. A
relay output on one dispatch console can be protected by a safety switch while the
same relay output on a different dispatch console is not. The resetting of latched
inputs may also be protected by using the safety switch.

Supported Aux I/O Configurations
The following Aux I/O configurations are supported.
♦ Momentary Input - This is an input where the user interface always shows the
true state of the input. If the input is active, it is shown as active. If it is not active,
it is shown as not active.
♦ Latched Input - This is an input where the user interface does not necessarily
show the true state of the input. When the input goes active, the user interface
shows the state as active. The display will continue to show the state as active
even if the input changes to the inactive state. A dispatch console user must
manually reset the display to return it to the inactive state. Note that a dispatch
console user cannot clear the display until the input itself is in the inactive state.
♦ Momentary Output - This output relay is activated when the dispatch console user
presses the button on the user interface and deactivated when the dispatch console
user releases the button.
♦ Latched Output - This output relay changes state only when the dispatch console
user presses the button. The release of the button has no effect on the state of the
relay. One press activates the relay; the next press deactivates the relay.
♦ Interlocked Latched Output - This latched output relay is part of a group of
latched output relays. Only one of the relays in the group may be active at a time.
Pressing the button for a relay automatically deactivates the previously active
relay. Pressing the same button twice does not deactivate that relay. There is
always one and only one relay active in the group at all times. Interlocked relays
work in a “break before make” fashion; that is, the previously active relay is
deactivated before the new relay is activated.

Aux I/O Hardware


The MOSCAD SDM 3500 RTU is used to support most dispatch console Aux I/O
needs. The SDM 3500 RTU is rack mountable in a standard 19-inch rack and is one
rack unit high.
The SDM 3500 RTU is capable of supporting up to 16 outputs and 48 inputs.
Expansion chassis can be added to increase the number of inputs and outputs. The
output relays are capable of switching 1A @ 24VDC or 1A @ 24VAC. Input buffers
are capable of sensing a dry closure through 1000 feet or less (round trip) of 24 AWG
wire.
The RTUs can be physically located at console sites, trunking RF sites or analog
conventional RF sites. The dispatch consoles and RTUs communicate with each other
across the radio system’s IP transport network. This allows much greater flexibility in
putting Aux I/Os where they are needed compared to CENTRACOM Gold Series,
which required all the Aux I/Os to be located in the CEB.

5.2.7.3 Feature Descriptions


High-level descriptions for all the features supported by the Motorola MCC7500
dispatch console are given in this section.

Centralized System Management


The Motorola MCC7500 console system is configured and managed by the trunking
system’s configuration manager, fault manager, and performance reporting
applications. This provides the customer with a single point for configuring and
managing the entire radio system, including the console portion.
The Motorola MCC7500 console system is able to control certain conventional
resources in addition to the trunking system. The trunking system’s configuration
manager, fault manager, and performance reporting applications also configure and
manage the parts of the system interfacing to the conventional resources.

End to End Encryption


The addition of secure capability to the dispatch console allows true end-to-end
encryption in the radio system. This provides the highest degree of security possible
to those customers who wish to take advantage of this feature.
The dispatch consoles support multiple encryption algorithms and multiple secure
keys to allow them to access and control talkgroups from different agencies, if
necessary.

Gaining Access to Resources in the Communication System

Resource Assignment
Resource Assignment is a feature that allows a dispatch console user to choose which
radio resources are monitored and controlled by the dispatch console. Resources must
be assigned before they can be monitored and controlled. Once the assignment is
made, the dispatch console starts receiving audio and status updates for the resource.
The resource assignment feature works in conjunction with the security group feature
of the radio system’s network manager. The security group feature determines which
radio resources a given dispatch console user has the right to access. Those radio
resources are then eligible to be assigned on a dispatch console via the resource
assignment feature.

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-65


Resource Assignment allows the flexibility to change which resources are monitored
and controlled at a dispatch console. This can be useful, for example, on shift
changes. It does not force one shift to deal with resources that are only used by a
different shift.
Resources can be unassigned when they are no longer needed at a dispatch console.
Once resources are unassigned, the dispatch console stops receiving audio and status
updates for the resource.

Aux I/O Assignment


Aux I/O Assignment is a feature that allows a dispatch console user to choose which
Aux I/Os are monitored and controlled by the dispatch console. Aux I/Os must be
assigned before they can be monitored and controlled. Once an Aux I/O assignment
is made, the dispatch console starts receiving status updates for the Aux I/O.
Aux I/O Assignment allows the flexibility to change which Aux I/Os are assigned at
a dispatch console. This can be useful, for example, on shift changes. It does not
force one shift to deal with Aux I/Os that are only used by a different shift.
Aux I/Os can be unassigned when they are no longer needed at a dispatch console.
Once Aux I/Os are unassigned, the dispatch console stops receiving status updates for
the Aux I/O.

Resource Status
The Resource Status feature informs a dispatch console user of the operational
condition of radio resources and Aux I/Os. This gives the dispatch console user
greater control by knowing which resources are available and which are not available.
Operational failures of the resources and Aux I/Os can be displayed to the dispatch
console user so the lack of operational ability is known.

Configuration of Audio Presentation for Resources

Audio Destination Assignment


A dispatch console supports multiple speakers and can be configured so that the
audio associated with different resources is routed to different speakers at the
dispatch console. Audio Destination Assignment is a console feature that allows a
dispatch console user to choose which audio destinations (speakers) are to be used for
a given resource.
Audio for a resource is generally directed to one of two destinations, depending upon
the resource’s current select status. Selected resources have their audio sent to the
speaker designated as the select audio destination for that resource. When a resource
is not selected, its audio is sent to the speaker designated as the unselect audio
destination for that resource. In most cases, a single speaker is designated as the

Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-66 ASTRO 25 System Description


select audio destination for all resources monitored by that console. In this case,
whichever resource is currently selected has its audio presented in that speaker.
On some console installations, it may be desirable to route audio for a resource to a
particular destination regardless of that resource’s select status. This is accomplished
by setting a resource’s select audio destination to be the same as its unselect audio
destination. Speakers configured in this way are often referred to as “dedicated” or
“monitor” speakers.

Basic Audio (Talk/Listen) Functions

Single-Select
The Single-Select feature allows only one radio resource to be selected at a time.
When a resource is single-selected, the previously selected resource becomes
deselected.
The Single-Select feature is active when there are no Multi-Select groups open. When
a Multi-Select group is closed without opening another Multi-Select group, the
Single-Select feature becomes active, and the resource that had been selected prior to
opening a Multi-Select group is once again selected.
Single-Selecting a resource routes the inbound audio on the resource to the
designated speaker allowing that audio to be easily distinguishable from the other
audio at the dispatch console. It automatically raises the resource’s individual volume
level to full so inbound audio on that resource can be heard clearly. It also designates
that resource as the one to be used by console features such as General Transmit,
Monitor, and Page PTT.
The main advantage of the Single-Select feature over the Multi-Select feature is that
the previously selected resource is deselected when another resource is selected. This
saves having to deselect one resource before selecting another.

Multi-Select
The Multi-Select feature allows a dispatch console to define groups of selected radio
resources. When a Multi-Select group is opened, all of the resources in the group are
simultaneously selected. A dispatch console can support multiple Multi-Select
groups, each of which supports multiple, potentially overlapping, resources
If a Multi-Select group is opened while another Multi-Select group is open, the first
group is closed and all of its resources deselected before the second group is opened.
If a Multi-Select group is opened while no other Multi-Select group is open, the
Single Selected resource is first deselected.
When a Multi-Select group is closed without opening another Multi-Select group, the
Single Select feature becomes active and the resource that had been selected prior to
opening the Multi-Select group is once again selected.

Resources can be added or removed from a Multi-Select group while it is open or
while it is closed.
Multi-Selecting a group of resources routes the inbound audio on the resources to the
resources’ select audio destinations, allowing that audio to be easily distinguishable
from the other audio at the dispatch console. It automatically raises the resources’
individual volume level to full, so inbound audio on the resources can be heard
clearly. It also designates those resources as the ones to be used by console features
such as General Transmit, Monitor, and Page PTT.
The Multi-Select feature has two advantages over the Single Select feature. It allows
multiple resources to be selected simultaneously. It also allows groups of resources to
be defined and stored so that multiple resources can be conveniently selected and
deselected. The resources of Multi-Select groups can also easily be simultaneously
transmitted on without having to open the Multi-Select group by using the APB
Transmit feature.

Inbound Call Indication


The Inbound Call Indication feature is used to indicate audio activity on a radio
resource. If the resource is selected on the dispatch console, the indication flashes
when inbound audio is detected. If it is not selected on the dispatch console, the
indication does not flash. The indication is not affected by the select status of the
resource on any other dispatch console.
It is also used to associate audio being heard from the dispatch console’s speakers
with a resource.
The Inbound Call Indication can have different sources depending on the type of
resource on which it appears. For trunked resources, the source is the trunking
controller. For some conventional resources, the source can be an input that detects
an external dry closure. This is called a Carrier Operated Relay (COR) Input. For
some conventional resources, the source is audio activity on the receive path from the
station. This is called VOX detection.

Individual Resource Volume Control


The Individual Resource Volume Control feature allows the dispatch console user to
change the level at which each resource is mixed into a speaker. (It is common to
have the audio from many resources routed to the same speaker, especially when
these resources are unselected.) The Individual Resource Volume Control feature can
be used at individual dispatch consoles to lower the volume level of less important
resources and raise the volume level of resources as they become important.
The initial volume level is set when the resource is assigned. The volume level for a
resource is automatically raised to the full volume level when the resource is selected.
If the volume level is adjusted while a resource is selected, it remains at the new

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-68 ASTRO 25 System Description


volume level even after the resource is deselected. If the resource’s volume level is
not adjusted while the resource is selected, deselecting the resource restores its
volume level to its volume level in effect prior to being selected.

All Mute
The All Mute feature is used to mute all of the audio on resources that are not
currently selected at a dispatch console. When the All Mute feature is activated, all
audio on resources that are not selected is muted until the All Mute feature is
deactivated or a certain amount of time elapses, typically 30 seconds. The amount of
time the All Mute feature stays active and the amount of attenuation it applies to the
audio are programmable through the radio system’s configuration application.
If a resource’s individual volume setting is such that it is lower than the All Mute
feature’s attenuated level, the resource’s volume setting will not be changed by the
All Mute feature. That is, the dispatch console will not increase the resource’s
volume setting above the level set by the dispatch console user.
The All Mute feature is used when the dispatch console user does not want to be
disturbed by the audio from the unselect resources. Using the All Mute feature is
better than turning down the volume of the Unselect speaker because the volume is
restored automatically when the All Mute feature is deactivated.

Acoustic Cross Mute


The Acoustic Cross Mute feature is used to prevent acoustic feedback from occurring
when dispatch consoles are physically located near each other. Dispatch consoles that
are monitoring the same radio resource can normally hear each other’s outbound
audio transmissions. This is called parallel operator audio. If two dispatch consoles
are physically close to each other and the parallel operator audio appears in a speaker,
the potential exists for a feedback condition between the speaker on the non-
transmitting dispatch console and the microphone on the transmitting dispatch
console.
The Acoustic Cross Mute feature provides the means to specify groups of dispatch
consoles, which mute parallel operator audio on all radio resources that they have in
common.

High Speed Mute


The High Speed Mute feature allows an external device to provide a dry contact
closure to the dispatch console subsystem that, when activated, mutes the receive
audio of a conventional radio resource at all dispatch consoles monitoring that
resource. The audio received remains muted as long as the closure is present, and un-
mutes when it is removed.

Floyd County, Georgia

December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-69


The High Speed Mute feature provides the customer with the means to control what
audio appears at the dispatch consoles for a given conventional radio resource.

General Transmit
General Transmit is a feature that initiates a voice transmission on the currently
selected resources. General Transmit is one of the most convenient methods for
transmitting since it can be initiated with the footswitch, the headset transmit button,
the microphone transmit button, or the General Transmit API functions.
General Transmit is a medium-priority transmission. Please refer to the Transmission
Priority Levels feature on the following page for more information on transmit
priorities.
It is important to note that a dispatch console can transfer control of an active General
Transmit freely between the General Transmit API functions, the headset transmit
button, the microphone transmit button and the footswitch while not losing the
transmission. This can be used to free up a dispatch console user’s hands for other
activities such as writing notes.
The General Transmit feature provides easy access to transmitting on the selected
resources.

Instant Transmit
Instant Transmit is a feature that allows a dispatch console user to initiate a
transmission on a specific resource regardless of its select state. It is the most direct
method of transmitting on a resource.
Instant Transmit is a high-priority transmission. Please refer to the Transmit Priority
Levels feature on the following page for more information on transmit priorities.
It is important to note that the dispatch console user can Instant Transmit even when
the dispatch console user is currently performing a General Transmit or APB
Transmit. In this case, microphone audio will be sent to both the selected resource(s)
and the one upon which is being instantly transmitted.
The Instant Transmit feature gives the dispatch console user an additional level of
control that is not available with the General Transmit feature. It gives a dispatch
console user the ability to transmit quickly on a resource that is not selected. It allows
a dispatch console user to monitor the audio from the selected resources in the
headset, and simultaneously transmit to another resource. It also allows a dispatch
console user to take over a lower-priority transmit from a parallel dispatch console.

Instant Transmit Safety Switch


Instant Transmit Safety Switch is a feature that requires a dispatch console user to
press a “safety switch” before initiating an instant transmit on a specific resource

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-70 ASTRO 25 System Description


(regardless of whether it is selected or not). This helps ensure the dispatcher does not
accidentally instant transmit on a particular radio channel.

APB Transmit
APB (All Points Bulletin) Transmit is a feature that initiates a voice transmission on
the resources of a Multi-Select group. An APB Transmit control on a dispatch
console must have one and only one Multi-Select group associated with it.
APB Transmit is a high-priority transmission. Please refer to the Transmit Priority
Levels feature in the following section for more information on transmit priorities.
The APB Transmit feature allows transmission to all resources in its associated
Multi-Select group even when the group is closed.
The APB Transmit feature provides easy access for transmitting to a pre-selected
group of resources. APB Transmit is commonly used to make an announcement to
many radio users. It also allows a dispatch console user to take over a lower priority
transmit from a parallel dispatch console.

Transmit Priority Levels


The Transmit Priority Levels feature is a hierarchy of transmit privileges for different
types of transmissions on the same dispatch console or between dispatch consoles. It
provides an orderly and consistent method for allowing higher priority transmissions
to take over resources from lower priority transmissions.
The priority levels from highest to lowest are:
♦ Primary supervisor console instant transmit or APB transmit
♦ Secondary supervisor console instant transmit or APB transmit
♦ Non-supervisor console instant transmit or APB transmit
♦ General transmit on any type of console (single- or multi-select)
♦ Patch transmit on any type of console
♦ Console Transmits While Receiving Audio
The Console Transmits While Receiving Audio feature allows a dispatch console to
receive audio from other radio resources while transmitting on a particular radio
resource. This allows a dispatch console user to hear audio from other resources
while transmitting.
Note that this is different from full duplex audio on a single radio resource.

Resource Transmit Status - Transmitting
The Resource Transmit Status - Transmitting feature is used on a per dispatch
console basis to indicate when a dispatch console is transmitting on a resource. A
visual indication is provided on the user interface to indicate it is transmitting.
Each dispatch console uses the Resource Transmit Status - Transmitting feature to
display its own transmit status. It is not used to display the status of parallel dispatch
consoles. Refer to the Resource Transmit Status - Parallel MCC7500 Op Busy feature
for more information about parallel dispatch console status.

Resource Transmit Status - Parallel MCC7500 Op Busy


The Resource Transmit Status - Parallel MCC7500 Op Busy feature is used to
indicate when a parallel Motorola MCC7500 dispatch console is transmitting on a
resource. A visual indication is provided on the non-transmitting dispatch consoles to
indicate a parallel dispatch console is transmitting. This feature, in conjunction with
the Resource Transmit Status - Parallel Non-MCC7500 Op Busy feature, provides the
means for a dispatch console user to know if a particular resource is available for use.
The dispatch console user can see the alias of the parallel Motorola MCC7500
dispatch console that is transmitting on either trunked or conventional resources.
Each dispatch console uses the Resource Transmit Status - Parallel MCC7500 Op
Busy feature to display the parallel console transmit status of each resource to which
it has been assigned.

Resource Transmit Status - Trunking Busy/Callback


The Resource Transmit Status - Trunking Busy/Callback feature is used to indicate
when a trunking resource is not available for a dispatch console user to use and to
alert the user when it becomes available. Audible indications are provided on the
dispatch console to indicate a trunking resource is not available and when it becomes
available. This feature allows the dispatch console user to know when a trunked
resource is available again without having to try to transmit on it continuously.

Trunked Base Station/Repeater Control


The Repeat Control feature (also known as Repeat Enable) allows a dispatch console
user to enable and disable the ability of radio users in a talkgroup to hear the
transmissions of other radio users in that talkgroup. When the feature is enabled on a
talkgroup, transmit audio from a radio is made available to all of the radios
monitoring the talkgroup. If the feature is disabled on a talkgroup, transmit audio
from a radio is not made available to other radio users monitoring the talkgroup. In
either case, the radio’s transmit audio is routed to the dispatch consoles.

5-72 ASTRO 25 System Description


When repeat control is enabled or disabled, all dispatch consoles with this resource
assigned are updated with the current status of the feature. This feature can be
controlled from any dispatch console.

System Access Priority Select (Normal/Tactical)


The System Access Priority Select feature allows a dispatch console user to select the
relative system access priority of a trunked resource within the resource’s
communication system. Currently, there are only two possible priorities: NORMAL
priority and TACTICAL priority. Call requests from a trunked resource with
TACTICAL priority have priority over call requests from a trunked resource with
NORMAL priority in obtaining a repeater for communications. Only emergency calls
have a higher priority than TACTICAL.
When the System Access Priority status of a resource is changed, it is updated at all
dispatch consoles in the systems that are monitoring that trunked resource.
The System Access Priority Select feature can be used to change the system access
priority status of a trunked resource to TACTICAL in order to give the resource a
better chance of gaining communication access in a busy system. If, during a repeater
busy condition, two call requests are queued with one as NORMAL and the other as
TACTICAL priority, then the one with TACTICAL priority gains access to the
system when the next repeater becomes available.

Supported Types of Analog Conventional Base Stations


A Motorola MCC7500 dispatch console is capable of accessing and controlling the
following types of analog conventional base stations.
♦ R1
♦ T1R1
♦ T2R2
♦ T4R4
♦ T8R8
♦ T12R12
♦ T14R14
The above types of base stations are referred to as TnRn stations. A TnRn station has
one n-frequency transmitter and one n-frequency receiver.
The dispatch console can process audio received from the station and present it to the
dispatch console user via speakers or headsets key the station’s transmitter and
provide it with audio to be transmitted over the air (except for R1 stations which
don’t have a transmitter) control various features on the stations such as frequency
selection, PL selection, repeater on/off, etc.

Voice Call Types on Radio Resources

Conventional PTT Call


The Conventional PTT Call feature allows a dispatch console user to initiate and
receive normal PTT calls on conventional radio resources. A normal PTT call is not
directed to any specific individual or talkgroup and does not carry any special
importance. It is intended to be heard by all users listening to that radio resource.

Trunking Talkgroup Call


The Trunking Talkgroup Call feature allows a dispatch console user to initiate and
receive talkgroup calls on trunked radio resources. A trunking talkgroup call is a
method for communicating with a specific set of users on a trunked radio system.
Users only hear the audio associated with talkgroups with which they are currently
affiliated.
This feature allows a user to speak with a specific group of users without disturbing
other users.

Trunking Announcement Group Call


The Trunking Announcement Group Call feature allows a dispatch console user to
initiate and receive announcement group calls on trunked radio resources. A trunking
announcement group call is a method for communicating with multiple trunking
talkgroups simultaneously. An announcement group is composed of multiple
talkgroups that have been grouped together. The association of talkgroups to an
announcement group is done by the trunking system’s configuration subsystem.
This feature allows a user to speak quickly and easily with multiple trunking
talkgroups simultaneously.

Trunking Emergency Call


Trunking Emergency Calls are high-priority voice transmissions initiated by radios or
dispatch consoles that allow them to communicate with each other in critical
situations. Trunking emergency calls initiated by dispatch consoles reserve a voice
channel for the duration of an emergency.
A trunking emergency call is initiated by a radio when the radio transmits while it is
in emergency mode. Trunking emergency calls are typically presented at a dispatch
console using visual indications.
Dispatch consoles are notified when another dispatch console starts a trunking
emergency call.

5-74 ASTRO 25 System Description


In ASTRO 25 trunking systems, priority is given to allocating a voice channel to a
trunking emergency call over a regular call regardless of whether the regular call is at
either a tactical or normal priority level.
Trunking emergency calls can be initiated from a dispatch console on ASTRO 25 IP
trunking resources only. When a trunking emergency call is started from a dispatch
console, the call is assigned a voice channel for an indefinite period. This guarantees
a path for voice communication for the duration of an emergency. The voice channel
is released only when a dispatch console ends the call.
A dispatch console user can take responsibility for an emergency by recognizing the
trunking emergency call. All dispatch consoles are notified that the call has been
recognized.
Trunking emergency calls initiated by a dispatch console are automatically reported
to all dispatch consoles as being “recognized” since a dispatch console user took an
explicit action to initiate the trunking emergency call.
When an emergency is over, a dispatch console can end the trunking emergency call.
All dispatch consoles are notified that the call has been ended. When a dispatch
console ends a trunking emergency call, the voice channel allocated for the call is
released.
Ending the trunking emergency call at the dispatch console has no effect on the state
of the radio that initiated the call. Any radio units that initiated trunking emergency
calls remain in emergency mode until the radio users explicitly return them to a
normal mode of operation. If a radio that is in emergency mode transmits after a
dispatch console user has ended the trunked emergency call, the trunked emergency
call will be reestablished.
The Trunking Emergency Call feature is used by radios and consoles for high priority
voice communication. A dispatch console generally initiates a Trunking Emergency
Call to guarantee a voice channel for the duration of an emergency.

Received Emergency Call Indication


The Received Emergency Call Indication feature allows a dispatch console user to be
quickly informed that an emergency call has been received on a trunked resource.
The indication is a visual indication on the user interface.
The visual indication continues until the emergency call has been ended by a dispatch
console.
The Received Emergency Call Indication feature allows the dispatch console user to
quickly identify on which resource an emergency call has occurred.

Auto-Open of Quick List
The Auto-Open of Quick List feature allows a dispatch console user to quickly access
the controls necessary to handle a trunking emergency call. The Quick List contains
controls for recognizing an emergency call, initiating an emergency call, and ending
an emergency call.
The Auto-Open of Quick List feature automatically opens the quick list when a
resource with an unacknowledged emergency on the dispatch console’s user interface
is expanded by the dispatch console user.
The Auto-Open of Quick List feature allows the dispatch console user to begin
handling an emergency with a minimum of actions.

Emergency End (Knockdown)


The Emergency End (Knockdown) feature allows a dispatch console user to
terminate an emergency call. After an emergency call has been recognized and the
situation has been addressed, the dispatch console user ends the emergency call by
using the Emergency End feature. When the dispatch console user does this, the
visual emergency indication on the dispatch console’s user interface is removed, and
the dispatch console informs the trunking controller and all other dispatch consoles
that the emergency has been terminated. Parallel dispatch consoles then clear their
own emergency status indications for the resource if no other emergencies are active
on it.

Emergency Automatic Audio Level Control


The Emergency Automatic Audio Level Control feature ensures that the audio
associated with an emergency call is not missed due to its volume being too low.
When an emergency call is received by a dispatch console, the volume of the
received audio associated with the call is raised to its maximum level. When the
emergency call is acknowledged by a dispatch console user, the volume is returned to
its normal level.
The Emergency Automatic Audio Level Control feature allows the dispatch console
user to hear the emergency call audio while the emergency call audible alarm is
active.

Trunking Individual Call


The Trunking Individual Call feature allows a dispatch console user to initiate and
receive individual calls on trunked radio resources. A trunking individual call is a
method for allowing a call to be placed to a specific user on the trunking system.
A dedicated individual call resource on the dispatch console user interface allows the
dispatch console user to initiate or answer an individual call. All types of individual

Floyd County, Georgia

RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-76 ASTRO 25 System Description


calls are initiated from the dispatch console in the same way. When an individual call
request is received by the target radio, the dispatch console user receives an
indication that the target radio is ringing. At this point, the dispatch console is waiting
for the radio user to “answer” the ring. Once the individual call is answered, the call
is allowed to proceed.
A dispatch console user may use an individual call to communicate privately with
either a single radio user or a single MCC7500 dispatch console user.
If the target radio or dispatch console is not available when an individual call is
attempted, the dispatch console user receives an indication that the call could not be
completed.
All inbound individual calls are announced to the dispatch console user. A ringing
inbound call must be answered explicitly by the dispatch console user.
At a dispatch console, individual calls can be ended by a request from the dispatch
console or by the expiration of an audio activity timer. The audio activity timer
expires when there has been no audio activity on an active individual call for an
extended period. This time is specified via the configuration application at the
network manager. If there is no audio activity on an active individual call for the
specified amount of time, the individual call is automatically ended.
When an individual call is ended by the radio user or the other dispatch console user,
the console individual call resource automatically hangs up. Similarly, when an
individual call is ended by the dispatch console user, the radio or other dispatch
console automatically hangs up. This is known as the Cancel Service characteristic of
individual call.
The Trunking Individual Call feature is designed to allow a dispatch console to
engage in private conversations with individual radio or dispatch console users. Once
an individual call is established on a resource, the resource can be added to a patch
group with another type of resource.

Semi-Duplex or Full-Duplex Operation


Depending on the type of radio unit and the type of trunking system, an individual
call can be either semi-duplex or full-duplex. The console subsystem is capable of
supporting both types of calls with no configuration changes or dispatch console user
intervention required.
When a dispatch console user is involved in either type of individual call, the
dispatch console user is required to activate a PTT to talk. This is required to prevent
unexpected results if a telephone resource is off-hook while an individual call is in
process. A telephone resource does not require a PTT because it has hands-free full-
duplex operation when the dispatch console user is using a headset. If the individual
call also had hands-free full-duplex operation, the dispatch console would not be able

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-77


to tell to which destination (telephone resource or individual call) the microphone
audio should be sent. Therefore, a PTT is required to indicate to the dispatch console
that the dispatch console user desires to speak on the individual call instead of the
telephone resource. (In this context, the term “telephone resource” refers to two
different types of telephone services. It refers to the external telephone that can be
connected to a dispatch console so the dispatch console’s headset can be used for
both radio and telephone communications. It also refers to the console telephony
interface, which will be added in a future release.)
The dispatch console always allows receive audio to be presented to the dispatch
console user, but in a semi-duplex call, the radio system does not provide the receive
audio while the dispatch console user is transmitting.

Advanced Signaling on Trunked Radio Resources

Display Radio’s Unit ID


The Display Radio’s Unit ID feature allows a dispatch console to display the unit ID
associated with an inbound radio call. Unit IDs are unique numbers assigned to each
radio and dispatch console in certain types of radio systems. A radio can send its unit
ID when it makes a call.
The dispatch console user interface can be configured to display the unit ID of the
source radio on inbound calls. This configuration is done at the local administration
application. The unit ID can appear in a Received Call Stack, the Three Line Display,
the Resource Header, and the Activity Log window. Note that if an alias for the unit
ID is available, the dispatch console will display the alias instead of the unit ID.
The unit ID of a parallel dispatch console is also displayed on the dispatch console
when the parallel dispatch console transmits on radio resources which are common to
both consoles or when the parallel dispatch console places a call to the dispatch
console.
If an inbound call is received on a radio resource that does not support the concept of
unit IDs, no unit ID is displayed on the dispatch console even if it has been
configured to display unit IDs.

Send Console’s Unit ID


The Send Console’s Unit ID feature allows a dispatch console to send its unit ID
when it transmits on a radio resource. Unit IDs are unique numbers assigned to each
radio and dispatch console in certain types of radio systems. The unit ID allows the
radios to display the ID of the dispatch console that is the source of the transmission.
The dispatch console’s unit ID is sent when the dispatch console user transmits on a
radio resource and when the user initiates an individual call to another dispatch
console.

ID Conservation
The ID Conservation feature prevents dispatch consoles from consuming an
inordinate amount of unit IDs in a trunked radio system. The ID Conservation feature
allows a dispatch console to use a single unit ID for all the trunking talkgroup
resources and individual call resources that it controls.

Emergency Alarm
An Emergency Alarm is sent by radio users to alert dispatch console users of a
critical situation needing immediate attention.
When an Emergency Alarm is received by a dispatch console, an audible indication is
sounded. A visual indication is also displayed to direct a dispatch console user’s
attention to the specific resource with the emergency alarm active on the dispatch
console.
Any dispatch console user can take responsibility for an emergency by Recognizing
the Emergency Alarm. All dispatch consoles are notified that the Emergency Alarm
has been recognized.
The audible emergency indications are typically ended once all Emergency Alarms at
a dispatch console are recognized. The audible emergency indications may also be
ended by the dispatch console user without recognizing the Emergency Alarm.
When an emergency is over, a dispatch console can end the Emergency Alarm. All
dispatch consoles are notified that the Emergency Alarm has been ended.
The emergency mode persists on the initiating radio unit until it is ended by the radio
user explicitly.
The Emergency Alarm feature is used by radios to alert dispatch consoles of an
emergency without the use of voice communication. This is generally followed by a
voice transmission.

Received Emergency Alarm Indications


The Received Emergency Alarm Indications feature allows a dispatch console user to
be quickly informed that an emergency alarm has been received on a trunked
resource. The indications are audible and visual in nature.
The audible indication continues until either a dispatch console has recognized the
emergency alarm or the dispatch console user mutes it. The visual indication
continues until the emergency alarm has been ended by a dispatch console.
The Received Emergency Alarm Indications feature allows the dispatch console user
to be quickly alerted that an emergency alarm has been received and to identify
quickly on which resource it occurred.

Emergency Recognize
The Emergency Recognize feature allows a dispatch console user to assume
responsibility for an emergency call or emergency alarm. When a dispatch console
user recognizes an emergency, all other dispatch consoles are notified that the
emergency has been recognized.
When an emergency has been recognized, the audible indications for that emergency
are silenced at all dispatch consoles monitoring the emergency.
The Emergency Recognize feature is often confused with the Acknowledge feature.
Recognize is used when a dispatch console user takes a specific action to assume
responsibility for an emergency. Acknowledge is used when a piece of equipment
(trunking controller or dispatch console) automatically sends a message to a radio
telling it that its emergency message was received.

Mute Tones at Single Op


The Mute Tones at Single Op feature allows a dispatch console user to mute the tones
associated with an emergency alarm only at his/her dispatch console. This feature
does not recognize the emergency alarm, so other dispatch consoles continue to
generate the emergency tones.
The Mute Tones at Single Op feature is used to silence the emergency alarm tones
without recognizing the emergency. This would be used in a situation where one
agency is monitoring a channel that belongs to another agency. If an emergency
alarm comes in on the second agency’s channel, the first agency could mute the tones
at their dispatch consoles without having to wait for the second agency to recognize
it.

Emergency End (Knockdown)


The Emergency End feature allows a dispatch console user to terminate an
emergency alarm. All dispatch consoles are notified that the emergency alarm has
been ended and which dispatch console ended it.

Call Alert
The Call Alert feature lets a dispatch console or radio leave a “page” at an unattended
radio or dispatch console. Upon returning to the radio or dispatch console, the called
user knows who called. Additionally, a Call Alert can be used to trigger an activity.
For instance, a Call Alert may cause a vehicle’s horn to sound and its lights to flash.
Typically, the “page” appears at a radio as a series of beeps along with the unit ID of
the sender. Traditionally, at a dispatch console, the received “page” is presented as a
series of beeps along with a visual indication of who sent the Call Alert.

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-80 ASTRO 25 System Description


When a Call Alert is sent to an individual radio or dispatch console, the receiving
radio or dispatch console is expected to acknowledge it automatically. A sent Call
Alert can be aborted by the initiator before an acknowledgment is received. If after a
period an acknowledgment is not received, the Call Alert is automatically terminated
and the sender is notified that it was not successful.
The Call Alert feature provides the ability for a dispatch console or radio user to
contact someone who is away from their radio or dispatch console, and hence cannot
hear a voice message. Call Alert eliminates the need to tie up airtime trying to reach
an unattended radio.
If a dispatch console receives a Call Alert, the identity of the caller can be displayed
as a numeric Unit ID, or an alphanumeric alias for the calling radio.

Secure Trunked Radio Communication Functionality

Secure Capability in the Dispatch Console


The Secure Capability in the Dispatch Console feature allows radio voice messages
to be encrypted and decrypted in the dispatch console itself. This feature allows the
radio voice messages to be encrypted the entire time they are being transported
between the dispatch console and the radio.
The dispatch console is capable of supporting up to four different encryption
algorithms simultaneously. This allows dispatch console users to talk and listen on
radio resources that have different encryption algorithms without any manual
intervention or delay.
Trunked radio resources (talkgroups and private calls) can be configured with the
ability to work in the secure mode. Secure-capable resources on a dispatch console
may be configured so they always operate in secure mode or so the user can manually
change between secure and non-secure modes.
The Secure Capability in the Dispatch Console feature allows conversations between
a dispatch console user and a radio user to remain encrypted during the entire journey
between the two users.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Algorithm


The AES Algorithm feature allows the dispatch console and archiving interface
server to process radio voice messages using the AES encryption algorithm. AES is a
United States government encryption/decryption standard defined in Federal
Information Processing Standard 197 (FIPS-197).
The dispatch console can encrypt and decrypt voice using the AES algorithm.

Secure Transmit Mode Selection
The Secure Transmit Mode Selection feature allows the dispatch console user to
control the secure mode of transmissions on a trunked resource. The dispatch console
user can choose whether his/her transmissions on a particular trunked resource are
encrypted.
This feature applies to trunked resources individually; that is, different trunked
resources on a dispatch console are independently configured to have or not have this
feature. This feature can be configured differently for the same trunked resource on
different dispatch consoles; that is, a trunked resource may have this feature on one
dispatch console but not on another dispatch console.
When set to the secure mode, all transmissions on that trunked resource from that
dispatch console are encrypted. When set to non-secure mode, no transmissions on
that trunked resource from that dispatch console are encrypted.
This feature only applies to the dispatch console on which it is located. Radios and
other dispatch consoles can have their secure modes set differently.

Receive Cross-Mode Indication


The Receive Cross-Mode Indication feature is used to indicate when an inbound (to
the dispatch console) radio call is in a different secure mode than the dispatch
console’s setting for outbound (from the dispatch console) transmissions on a trunked
resource. This helps prevent dispatch console users from responding to an inbound
call in the wrong mode.

Clear Audio Alert


The Clear Audio Alert feature provides visual and audible indications when a trunked
radio call is in the clear mode. The dispatch console can be configured to provide the
indications on dispatch console transmissions, on radio transmissions received at the
dispatch console or both. This alerts the dispatch console user that a call is
unencrypted.

Multi-Select Cross-Mode Alert


The Multi-Select Cross-Mode Alert feature is used to inform a dispatch console user
that there are trunked resources with different secure modes in a multi-select group.
This helps prevent dispatch console users from transmitting the same audio in both
secure and non-secure modes.
This feature does not prevent the dispatch console user from having trunked
resources with different secure modes in a multi-select group; it merely informs the
user that this is the case.

Patch Cross-Mode Alert
The Patch Cross-Mode Alert feature is used to inform a dispatch console user that
there are trunked resources with different secure modes in a patch group. This helps
prevent the transmission of encrypted audio in an unencrypted state in a patch.
This feature does not prevent the dispatch console user from having trunked
resources with different secure modes in a patch group; it merely informs the user
that this is the case.

Key Fail Indication


The Key Fail Indication feature is used to indicate when the dispatch console is
unable to decrypt or encrypt a trunked radio voice message due to a problem with an
encryption key. This indication is provided on the Elite Dispatch GUI status bar.
Reasons for a key failure include a missing key or no keys match the key used to
encode the incoming voice message.

Panic Key Zeroizing


The Panic Key Zeroizing feature allows all the encryption keys in a dispatch console
to be erased (zeroized) with the push of a button. The button is recessed in a panel to
reduce the chance of accidentally pressing it.
Erasing the keys on one dispatch console has no effect on the keys at other dispatch
consoles.

Keyset/Indexset Selection via GUI


The Keyset/Indexset Selection via GUI feature allows the dispatch console user to
manually select the Keyset/Indexset used by the dispatch console. This allows the
dispatch console user to transmit to radios that are using a different keyset. (The
dispatch console will automatically use the appropriate keyset to decrypt audio being
received from a radio, so the Keyset/Indexset Selection feature does not really have
an effect on received audio.)
The control for doing this is incorporated into the dispatch console’s graphical user
interface so no extra devices (such as a KVL) are required to change which
Keyset/Indexset is being used.
This feature does not apply to the archiving interface server since it does not have a
graphical user interface and it does not transmit encrypted audio.

Key Management via KVL


The Key Management via KVL feature provides the ability to manage all the keys for
a dispatch console or archiving interface server using only a KVL (key variable
loader).

Crosspatch Functionality

Standard Patch
The Standard Patch feature allows a dispatch console user to set up a communication
path between two or more resources that are normally unable to communicate with
each other. These could be trunked resources and/or conventional resources. When a
dispatch console detects call activity on one resource in a patch group, it
automatically transmits that audio to all other resources in the patch group.
Resources are patched by being included in a console patch group. A dispatch
console supports a maximum of 16 patch groups. A resource can be a member of
only one patch group in the entire console system at a time.
The Standard Patch feature can be used to allow radios within the same or different
radio systems to communicate even though they use different resources in that
system. For example, it can allow members of different talkgroups in a trunking
system to communicate or it can allow conventional radio users to be able to
communicate with other conventional radio user and/or with trunked radio users.

Patch Auto-Start
The Patch Auto-Start feature allows a dispatch console to automatically start up pre-
determined patches after a power cycle or reboot on the dispatch console computer.
If a dispatch console experiences an operating system reboot or an interruption in its
AC power, this feature causes the dispatch console to automatically start the dispatch
application, log into the dispatch console, and start up patches for all the patch groups
that have been configured to use the Patch Auto-Start feature.
Patch groups that are configured to use this feature need to be pre-configured with the
radio resources that are members of the patch group. A dispatch console user may
add/delete members to/from the patch group during real time operation, but if a
reboot or power cycle occurs, only the pre-configured members are included when
the patch is restored.
If a dispatch console user manually logs out of the dispatch application, this feature
does not try to automatically restart it. It waits until the operating system is rebooted
or the power is cycled off and on.
The combination of the Patch Auto-Start and the Patch Auto-Restore After Resource
Interruption features provides a highly resilient patch service that may be used for
long-term patch applications.

5-84 ASTRO 25 System Description


Patch Auto-Restore After Resource Interruption
The Patch Auto-Restore After Resource Interruption feature allows the dispatch
console to provide as much patch functionality as possible during and after service
interruptions in the radio system.
If a service interruption occurs on a resource that is in a patch group, the dispatch
console keeps the patch active with the remaining members of the patch group. The
interrupted resource is shown as being in a patch pending state for the duration of the
interruption. If the interrupted resource is restored to service while the patch group is
still active, the dispatch console attempts to add the resource back into the patch.
If a service interruption occurs that affects all the resources in a patch group, the
dispatch console keeps the patch active with no members in it. Resources are shown
as being in a patch pending state for the duration of the interruption. If resources are
restored to service while the patch group is still active, the dispatch console attempts
to add the resources back into the patch.
The word “attempts” is used in the previous paragraphs because there are conditions
outside the control of the dispatch console, which may prevent it from adding a
resource to a patch. Examples of these include the resource may not be available for
use or another dispatch console placed it in a patch first.
The Patch Auto-Restore After Resource Interruption feature allows the dispatch
console to provide as much patch functionality as possible after service interruptions
without human intervention. This is useful for patches that are desired to be active for
long periods.
The combination of the Patch Auto-Restore After Resource Interruption and the
Patch Auto-Start features provides a highly resilient patch service that may be used
for long-term patch applications.

Permanent Patch
The Permanent Patch feature has been replaced by a combination of the Standard
Patch, the Patch Auto-Start and the Patch Auto-Restore After Resource Interruption
features. Please refer to those features for information about what they do.

Patch Transmit
Patch Transmit is a console feature that allows a dispatch console to initiate a
transmission on all resources contained within a patch group.
Patch transmit is considered a low priority transmission; its priority is less than that
of all other transmit functions. A dispatch console using a higher priority
transmission can take control of a resource from another dispatch console using a
lower priority transmission. Note that this does not mean the higher priority

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-85


transmission becomes the audio source for the patch. It only becomes the audio
source for the channel(s) upon which it is transmitting.
A dispatch console can only patch transmit to one patch group at a time.
Note that if a dispatch console user does any type of transmission on a member of a
patch group, the dispatch console will automatically transmit on all the other
members of the patch group as well. While this operation does not involve the patch
transmit feature, it does provide similar results.
The patch transmit feature allows a dispatch console user to send a voice transmission
to all members of a patch group. This can be a convenient way for a dispatch console
user to inform members of a patch group when a patch has been established between
resources, or when the patch group is about to be dissolved.

Patch Busy Indication


The Patch Busy Indication feature provides a dispatch console user with an indication
that a resource is a member of an active patch group on any dispatch console in the
radio system. This is important because a resource can only be a member of one
active patch group at a time.

Patch Reserved Indication


The Patch Reserved Indication feature provides a dispatch console user with an
indication that a resource is a member of an active patch group on his/her dispatch
console. This is important because a resource can only be a member of one active
patch group at a time.

Patch Pending Indication


The Patch Pending Indication feature provides a dispatch console user with an
indication that a resource the user is trying to place into a patch is not available. Some
reasons a resource may not be available include:
♦ It is already a member of an active patch group on another dispatch console in the
radio system
♦ It may not be affiliated with the trunking system’s controller
♦ A hardware failure may be rendering it unavailable
The dispatch console will continue to monitor the status of the resource and will
attempt to include it in the patch if it becomes available.

Patching Op Indication
The Patching Op Indication feature allows the dispatch console user to see which
dispatch console patched a resource. This is useful in control rooms with many

dispatch consoles and a user wants to quickly find out which dispatch console is
controlling a patch.
Pausing the cursor on the Patch Busy Indication on a radio resource shows which
dispatch console set up the patch group.

Communication System Request Rejections

Resource Reject
The Resource Reject feature informs the dispatch console when a requested
operation, such as General Transmit, Instant Transmit, Call Alert, etc., has been
rejected by the radio system. This feature provides information regarding the reason
the request has been rejected by the radio system for the affected resources. Resource
Reject messages differ from error messages in that a reject comes from the radio
system whereas an error is generated within the dispatch console.
In certain situations, a single request might result in reject messages being received
for multiple resources. For example, multiple rejects might be the result of resource
regrouping done by a trunked radio system.
Resource Rejects are directed to the dispatch console that attempted the rejected
operation. Parallel dispatch consoles do not receive the rejects.
Resource Rejects provide dispatch console information as to why the radio system is
not allowing an attempted action to be performed. In many cases, the reject is
because of a temporary condition within the system (e.g., all resources are busy, or
the target radio is involved in another operation) which does not necessarily require
corrective action. In other situations, a Resource Reject message informs the dispatch
console of a system problem, indicating the need for a “system administrator” to
correct the problem in the radio system. When an action is rejected, the Resource
Reject feature provides a specific reason for why the request was denied.

Announcement/Intercom Functionality

Selective Op Intercom via Individual Call


The Selective Op Intercom via Individual Call feature allows a dispatch console user
to speak privately with another dispatch console user through the dispatch consoles.
This feature is based on the Trunking Individual Call feature that allows a dispatch
console user and a radio user to engage in a private conversation.
The user interface and operation of the Selective Op Intercom via Individual Call
feature are the same as for the Trunking Individual Call feature. Please refer to the
description text for the Trunking Individual Call feature for more information.

The Selective Op Intercom via Individual Call feature allows two dispatch console
users to speak privately with each other through their dispatch consoles. It is useful
for situations where two dispatch console users need to talk with each other, but are
not close enough to talk face to face.

Group Op Intercom via Talkgroup Call


The Group Op Intercom via Talkgroup Call feature allows a group of dispatch
console users to speak with each other through their dispatch consoles.
This feature is based on the Trunking Talkgroup Call feature. A talkgroup containing
only dispatch consoles as members can be created. Any dispatch console transmitting
on this talkgroup would be heard by all the dispatch consoles monitoring that
talkgroup. Multiple talkgroups can be created to create different intercom groupings.
This does not require any additional hardware beyond what is required for the rest of
the trunking system.
The user interface and operation of the Group Op Intercom via Talkgroup Call
feature are the same as for the Trunking Talkgroup Call feature. Please refer to the
description text for that feature for more information.
The dispatch console user groupings are created by assigning trunking talkgroup to
the desired dispatch consoles. All dispatch consoles that share such a resource may
talk with each other. A dispatch console may be part of multiple groups.
The Group Op Intercom via Talkgroup Call feature allows a group of dispatch
console users to speak with each other through their dispatch consoles. It is useful for
situations where a specific group of dispatch console users need to talk with each
other, but are not close enough to talk face to face.

All Op Intercom via Talkgroup Call


The All Op Intercom via Talkgroup Call feature is identical to the Group Op
Intercom via Talkgroup Call feature. The only difference is the Trunking Talkgroup
Call resource appears on all dispatch consoles. Thus, all dispatch consoles can
participate in the discussion.
The All Op Intercom via Talkgroup Call feature allows all dispatch console users to
speak with each other through their dispatch consoles. It is useful for situations where
all dispatch console users need to talk with each other, but are not close enough to
talk face to face.

System Maintenance and Supervisory Functions

Primary/Secondary Supervisor Levels


The Primary/Secondary Supervisor Levels feature provides a means for establishing a
hierarchy of authority between the users of dispatch consoles. This hierarchy is used
Floyd County, Georgia
Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-88 ASTRO 25 System Description


by the Transmit Priority Levels feature to determine the priority level of each
transmission in a console subsystem.
There are three levels of dispatch consoles - primary supervisor, secondary
supervisor, and non-supervisor. A primary supervisor is the highest level and has
transmit priority over all secondary supervisors and non-supervisors. A secondary
supervisor is the second highest level and has transmit priority over all non-
supervisors. A non-supervisor console is the lowest level and has no transmit priority
over any other console.
The primary and secondary supervisor designations are associated with users, not
with physical dispatch consoles. A console subsystem can have multiple dispatch
consoles of each level.
The Primary/Secondary Supervisor Levels feature allows supervisory personnel to
have the transmit priority necessary to carry out their responsibilities in a console
subsystem.

Multiple Primary Supervisors


The Multiple Primary Supervisors feature allows multiple dispatch console users to
be designated as primary supervisors in the same radio system. Refer to the
description text for the Primary/Secondary Supervisor Levels feature for more
information about primary supervisors.
This feature is useful when multiple customers are sharing a radio system and each
customer wishes to have their own primary supervisor.

Console Disable
The Console Disable feature allows a dispatch center supervisor to send a disable
command from the radio system’s network manager to a particular dispatch console.
Once the target dispatch console receives the disable command, the dispatch console
becomes inoperable. None of the console features or resources can be used, and no
call activity can be initiated or received on the disabled dispatch console. In addition,
all the current activity on the dispatch console is ended. For example, if there is any
kind of transmission active on the dispatch console, the transmission is aborted. If
resources are patched by this dispatch console, the resources are removed from the
patch group.
A dispatch center supervisor can send an enable command from the radio system’s
network manager to a previously disabled dispatch console in order to make it
operable.
The Console Disable feature can be used to disable a dispatch console that is not
being used in order to prevent unauthorized personnel from misusing it. For example,

if a dispatch console is located in a remote site and is not being supervised, the
dispatch console can be disabled.

Supervisor Takeover
The Supervisor Takeover feature allows a supervisor in a dispatch room to control
whether or not a non-MCC7500 dispatch console (e.g., a deskset) can access an
analog conventional base station that is controlled by an MCC7500 dispatch console.
A relay is used to physically disconnect the transmit wireline pair from the non-
MCC7500 dispatch console from the station.
This feature can be used while the non-MCC7500 dispatch console is actively
transmitting on the channel. This has the effect of immediately de-keying the
transmitter. The feature may be configured so the parallel non-MCC7500 dispatch
console is still able to hear any audio being received by the base station from radios.
This feature allows a supervisor to prevent unauthorized individuals from using
parallel non-MCC7500 dispatch consoles to transmit on conventional stations.

Aliasing
In a console dispatch environment, it is desirable for users to have the ability to use
familiar names in place of various numbers that are used in radio systems. Names can
be recognized quickly and are easier to remember than numbers.
An alias is an alphanumeric text string that is associated with some element of a
console subsystem (e.g., a conventional channel, a talkgroup, a user, a “button” on a
user interface, etc.). Typically, aliases are defined by users during the configuration
of the console subsystem and do not change very often.
Aliases are used in the configuration, operation, and management of the console
subsystem.

Trunking Talkgroup Resource


A Trunking Talkgroup Resource is capable of having a single 16-character alias
associated with it. The aliasing system is capable of providing an alias for each
Trunking Talkgroup Resource in the radio system.
The Alias feature allows dispatch console users to identify Trunking Talkgroup
Resources by names rather than numbers. This allows dispatch console users to easily
and efficiently operate the dispatch console.

Trunking Announcement Group Resource


A Trunking Announcement Group Resource is capable of having a 16-character alias
associated with it. The aliasing system is capable of providing an alias for each
Trunking Announcement Group Resource in the radio system.

associated with it. The aliasing system is capable of providing an alias for each
Trunking Individual Call Resource in the radio system.
The Alias feature allows dispatch console users to identify Trunking Individual Call
Resources by names rather than numbers. This allows dispatch console users to easily
and efficiently operate the dispatch console.

Conventional Channel Resource


A Conventional Channel Resource is capable of having a 16-character alias
associated with it. The aliasing system is capable of providing an alias for each
Conventional Channel Resource in the radio system.
The Alias feature allows dispatch console users to identify Conventional Channel
Resources by names rather than numbers. This allows dispatch console users to easily
and efficiently operate the dispatch console.

Conventional Channel Frequency Selection Control


A Conventional Channel Frequency Selection Control is capable of having multiple
16 character aliases associated with it. Each frequency can have a unique alias within
the control. The aliasing system is capable of providing an alias for each
Conventional Channel Frequency Selection Control in the radio system.
The Alias feature allows dispatch console users to identify frequencies by names
rather than numbers. This allows dispatch console users to easily and efficiently
operate the dispatch console.

Conventional Channel PL Selection Control


A Conventional Channel PL Selection Control is capable of having multiple 16-
character aliases associated with it. Each PL code can have a unique alias within the
control. The aliasing system is capable of providing an alias for each Conventional
Channel PL Selection Control in the radio system.

Aux I/O Resource


An Aux I/O Resource is capable of having a 16-character alias associated with it. The
aliasing system is capable of providing an alias for each Aux I/O Resource in the
radio system.
The Alias feature allows dispatch console users to identify Aux I/O Resource by
names rather than numbers. This allows dispatch console users to easily and
efficiently operate the dispatch consoles.

Security Management

User Accounts and Passwords


Radio system user accounts are used in radio systems to provide access to resources,
simplify the use of certain features, and assist in ensuring security. The radio system
allows an administrative user to create accounts for the various users of the system
and assign different capabilities and access rights to them. One such account is for the
users of the console subsystem.
A dispatch console requires that a valid radio system user account name and
password be entered before it can be used on the radio system. The dispatch console
validates the user account name and password with the radio system’s network
manager and allows the user to access only the resources for which the user has
access rights. This also applies to third party applications that use the dispatch
console’s API.
Note that these radio system user account names and passwords are in addition to any
user account names and passwords required to log into the Windows operating
system on the dispatch console PCs.

Agency Partitioning
The radio system provides users with the ability to create groups of users and assign
system resource access rights to those groups. This allows users to control which
users have access to which resources in the radio system. This is how agency
partitioning is supported in the radio system.

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-92 ASTRO 25 System Description


Agency partitioning allows radio systems, which are used by multiple agencies, to be
configured in such a way that the users from each agency only have access to their
agency’s resources. This helps keep an agency’s resources available for its users, and
it prevents unauthorized people from making any changes to the agency’s resources.
The console subsystem participates in this agency-partitioning scheme. Access to the
various parts of the console subsystem is managed by the access rights given to user
accounts.
A dispatch console checks with the network manager for the access rights assigned to
the user and allows access to only the resources for which the user has access rights.
This also applies to third party applications that use the dispatch console API.
The radio system network manager checks the access rights assigned to the user
wishing to configure the console subsystem and allows access to only the portions of
the console subsystem for which the user has access rights.

Network Security Enhancements


The radio system’s IP transport network is protected against viruses, hackers and
other unauthorized activities by a set of enhancements that are applied to each
product connected to the network. The dispatch consoles support these
enhancements.

Fault Management

Hardware Element Monitoring


The radio system’s fault manager monitors and reports the status of all the hardware
elements in the console subsystem. This allows the console subsystem to be fault
managed from the same point at which the rest of the radio system is fault managed.
The specific hardware elements that are monitored are the dispatch console and any
networking equipment that supports the console elements. Each of these hardware
elements monitors critical internal hardware sub-elements and reports their status.
This allows a failure within a hardware element to be detected. The hardware
elements in the console subsystem are also periodically polled to request their status.
This allows a failure of an entire hardware element to be detected.

Software Process Monitoring


The console subsystem monitors and reports the status of all the critical software
processes running on the various hardware elements that comprise the subsystem.
Changes in the status of software processes on a device are recorded internally. These
internal records are primarily intended for use by qualified technical personnel in
troubleshooting problems with the console subsystem. Status changes, which are

Floyd County, Georgia

RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-93


useful for understanding the console subsystem’s overall status, are also reported to
the radio system’s fault manager.
If a failure of a software process is detected, self-healing actions may be initiated to
correct the failed process. Refer to the Self-Healing Actions feature for more
information.

Network Link Integrity Monitoring


The network elements, which are used by the console subsystem, are monitored in the
same manner as the network elements for the rest of the radio system. Any failures in
these links are reported to the radio system’s fault manager.

Automatic Discovery of Console Elements


The console subsystem supports the automatic discovery of console elements by the
radio system’s fault manager. This saves the user from having to manually gather and
enter the necessary data into the radio system fault manager.
The radio system fault manager automatically discovers all network elements (both
Motorola-manufactured elements and Motorola-supported third party elements) that
are included in the system and adds them to the map of network elements in a
topologically descriptive manner.

Outputting of Monitoring Results (SNMP)


The console subsystem supports the reporting of fault status to the radio system’s
network manager via the SNMP protocol.

Self-Healing Actions
The console subsystem automatically takes certain actions to try to remedy failures
detected by its fault management routines. These actions are intended to provide as
much functionality to the user as possible.
These actions include restarting failed software processes, resetting internal hardware
or reloading software into internal hardware.

Configuration Management

Configuration Application
The console subsystem is configured by an application residing on the radio system’s
network manager. This configuration application is used to configure all console
subsystem elements in the radio system. Using the configuration application, the user
defines what hardware is present at each element and the capabilities of each element.

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

5-94 ASTRO 25 System Description


This configuration application is used in conjunction with the Elite Admin
application.
The configuration application is used to define what is potentially available at each
console subsystem element.
The Elite Admin application is used to define exactly which resources are available to
the dispatch console user and how they are presented to the dispatch console user.

Automatic Distribution of Configuration Changes


When a change is made to the configuration information for the console subsystem,
the radio system’s network manager automatically distributes the changed
information to all the console subsystem elements that require it.

As-Configured Documentation
The configuration management system generates documentation that allows the user
to verify the configuration that was entered and provide information necessary for
installation of the console subsystem.
The following information is contained in the documentation generated by the
configuration management system:
♦ Console subsystem information - A listing of which dispatch consoles have been
created in the console subsystem.
♦ Dispatch console information - A listing of the peripherals, peripheral port
assignments, capabilities and audio destination assignments for each dispatch
console.
♦ Conventional channel gateway information - A listing of the channels, channel
capabilities, channel connection information, and main/alternate designation for
each conventional channel gateway.
♦ Trunked resource information - A listing of the type of and capabilities for each
trunked resource controlled by the console subsystem.
♦ Conventional resource information - A listing of the type of and capabilities for
each conventional resource in the console subsystem.
♦ Aux I/O information - A listing of the type of capabilities for each auxiliary input
or output in the console subsystem.
Date and Time

Date and Time Synchronization


The console subsystem synchronizes its time and date information with the radio
system’s time source via Network Time Protocol (NTP) on the radio system’s IP
network. This ensures that the time displays at the dispatch consoles and any time
stamps on events in log files are accurate.

Adjustments for 12/24 hour format, different time zones, and Daylight Savings Time
are automatically made if the operating system on the dispatch consoles and other
console subsystem elements is configured to support them.

Time Display
The dispatch console provides the user with the ability to display the current time on
the user interface. The time is synchronized with the radio system’s time source.
Please refer to the Date and Time Synchronization feature for more information about
how it is synchronized.
The time displayed on the user interface is the PC clock time. Adjustments for 12/24
hour format, different time zones, and Daylight Savings Time are automatically made
if the operating system on the dispatch consoles is configured to support them.

5-96 ASTRO 25 System Description


5.2.8.1 System Architecture
The MIP 5000 architecture uses VoIP (Voice over IP), a digital format for voice and
control instead of the traditional analog format. There are three main components in
a MIP 5000 system:
♦ GUI Application
♦ Ethernet Network
♦ Radio Gateway

5.2.8.2 GUI Application


The MIP 5000 GUI runs on a Windows PC utilizing the Microsoft Windows XP SP2
or SP3 Operating System or the Microsoft Windows Vista Business SP1 Operating
System. The system interfaces with a NIC Card (Network Interface Card) and a
Sound Card. The NIC card provides the interface between the computer (radio
console position) and the Ethernet network enabling data communication with other
radio console positions and gateways. The Sound Card provides the audio interface
between the dispatcher and the computer, using standard computer speakers, a
headset, and microphone audio accessories. The primary functions of the MIP 5000
VoIP software application include:
♦ Provides an ergonomic Command and Control interface between the dispatcher
and the radio system.
♦ Encodes and decodes Command and Control Ethernet data packets for reliable
distribution to and from the Ethernet network.
♦ Processes and converts dispatcher analog voice (radio transmit audio) to VoIP
data packets using a G.711 vocoder.
♦ Processes and converts subscriber radio (radio receive audio) G.711 VoIP data
packets into analog voice.
♦ Maintains a jitter buffer for audio quality.

5.2.8.2.1 Flexibility
The MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console provides an extremely flexible interface. The
GUI can be tailored for each dispatcher, not only in terms of resources and
functionality but also in layout and color schemes. Separate configuration files can
be associated with each login ID, where a dispatcher’s configuration comes up
automatically at login. Multiple configuration files can also be saved at each radio
console position.

5.2.8.3 Ethernet Network


The second main component in a MIP 5000 system is the Ethernet network. The
Ethernet network is the communication medium by which all Command and Control
Floyd County, Georgia

RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-97


data packets and VoIP G.711 voice packets are distributed between radio console
positions and gateways. Command and Control data packets are sent using the
TCP/IP protocol. Due to the “real time” nature of voice, the UDP protocol is used for
VoIP G.711 voice packets. To minimize the number of voice packets on the network,
Multicast has been chosen as the method for voice packet distribution between the
MIP 5000 GUI application and the MIP 5000 Radio Gateway. Multicast requires that
all router and switches on the network be configured to pass these multicast voice
packets.
The proposed system includes a HP switch that will be used as the network that
interfaces to the MIP 5000 workstations and tone gateways. The proposed system is
designed to have the tone gateways located in the same rack as the HP switch.

5.2.8.4 MIP 5000 Radio Gateway


The third main component in the MIP 5000 system is the radio gateway. The MIP
5000 Radio Gateway provides a unique interface between the Ethernet network and a
radio. Each MIP 5000 Radio Gateway supports and connects to a maximum of one
radio. The radio gateway is available in three models:
♦ Local Control Model – Supports a direct cable connection to the radio. Typically
used in mobile in a tray applications. Supports up to 16 frequencies per radio
channel control. Features supported include MDC 1200 IDs and paging.
Features not supported include ASTRO IDs and limited channel change
depending on the radio type. NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PROPOSAL

♦ Tone Control and E&M Model – Supports a two-wire or four-wire connection


via leased 600 Ohm phone lines. Supports up to 16 frequencies per radio channel
control. Features supported include MDC 1200 IDs, paging, and eight mode
selections (frequency or talkgroups). Features not supported include ASTRO
IDs. INCLUDED IN THIS PROPOSAL

♦ Digital (SB96000/SBEP) Control Model – The Motorola protocol is used to


control specific radios (i.e., the ASTRO W9 consolette). The radio console uses
this protocol to mimic the operation of the control head. For digital control, the
maximum number of frequencies is limited by the number of frequencies that are
programmed in the radio. Features supported include ASTRO IDs, all mode
changes, and all soft keys. Additional features include the PTT ID (not Alias)
being displayed in the Activity Log Window during normal transmissions. If a
digital junction box is used in conjunction with the ASTRO W9 consolette, the
PTT ID or Alias from the subscriber unit will show in the Activity Log Window
for normal transmissions. For emergency calls, the PTT ID from the subscriber
unit will show in the Activity Log window. NOT INCLUDED IN THIS
PROPOSAL

♦ Provides one paging encoder input port per Enhanced HSJB
♦ Supports up to two analog logging recorders per radio console position
♦ Supports only one Call Director per radio console position
♦ Supports only one external paging encoder per radio console position.

5.2.8.7 Console System Database Manager


The Console System Database Manager (CSDM) is a powerful configuration tool for
the MIP 5000 system. The CSDM software application runs on a Microsoft
Windows Vista Business SP1 operating system and can be installed on a radio
console position or a dedicated PC on the network. For this proposal the CSDM is
installed on the radio console position and runs on Vista.
The CSDM has the ability to configure up to 128 radio resources. This enables
customers with a large number of radio resources, but with distributed or segmented
dispatch operations to access all of their radio channels on a single MIP 5000 system.
While each console position can see and control up to 24 radio resources at one time,
different console positions can be configured to control different radio resources. In
addition, a single console position can have multiple configurations saved on the
computer. One configuration could be used for primary dispatch operations, while
alternate configurations with different radio channels can be called up in emergency
scenarios or storm plans.
The CSDM provides the following capabilities:
♦ Adding a console
♦ Adding a radio channel
♦ Configuring tone signaling
♦ Setting up a custom page
♦ Setting up page format
♦ Setting up radio channel Cross Muting
♦ Generating configuration files.
The CSDM computer can be accessed remotely provided there is access to a
computer on the network. There can only be one CSDM associated with the MIP
5000 system.

5-100 ASTRO 25 System Description


5.2.9 ISSI Interface
Each ISSI.1 Network Gateway Application allows 27 simultaneous trunked calls
between systems and 60 interoperability talkgroup pairs. The network gateway
architecture has some distinctive advantages, which are outlined below.
A high-level, generic use case of how two systems are connected is shown in Figure
5-21.

Figure 5-21: ISSI.1 Network Gateway Solution

The ISSI.1 network gateway application enables the connectivity across the two (or
more) systems by “mapping” talkgroup IDs from one System A to another System B.
In the example talkgroup100 on System A is associated in the gateway to be
connected to talkgroup 150 on System B. Should any of the users (“Art”, “Les”,
“Andy”, “Roy”, or “Jon”) key up in either network, the Zone Controllers send the call
to the site gateways which then send the audio and signaling to the other network and
initiate the associated talkgroup traffic, thereby creating a “virtual” inter-system
talkgroup operation.
In the roaming case shown in Figure 5-22, the roaming user, “Les”, “manually
roams” into the other system. Once “Les” notices that the signal from his current
system (System A) begins to decline, he would initiate a mode change on his radio,
either by changing the knob or through the keypad. This process is also known as
“fingertip roaming”. He also would need to know the “associated” talkgroup 150 on
System B.

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-101


Once he has selected talkgroup 150 on System B, “Les” would be operating on the
virtual talkgroup spanning the two systems. Readers familiar with P25 roaming will
recognize this operation to be identical to system-to-system roaming used today. The
important enhancement for “Les” is that after he roams into System B, he will
continue communications with his home dispatcher in System A as well as any users
who are still on talkgroup 100 in System (“Art”).

Figure 5-22: ISSI.1 Network Gateway Solution – Roaming

Advantages of the ISSI.1 Network Gateway Application Architecture:


♦ Connects systems with different system IDs – The ISSI.1 Network Gateway
Application enables two systems, each using a different system and WACN ID to
be connected over a wireline connection.
♦ Can be added to existing ASTRO 25 Networks (‘bolt-on’) – The ISSI.1 Network
Gateway Application can be added to an existing and deployed ASTRO 25
network without requiring that the network be upgraded to a new version.
ƒ The gateway enables two systems to be connected together of virtually any
Motorola vintage (ASTRO 25 6.9 or higher), effectively decoupling systems
and avoiding inter-agency funding dependences.
ƒ An ancillary benefit of the ‘bolt-on’ implementation is ease of installation.
Because the gateway connected at the site link layer, the ISSI.1 Network
Gateway application(s) can be installed and configured in the network in a
few days, rather than weeks for a zone link.

5-102 ASTRO 25 System Description


♦ Roaming enabled without upgrading subscribers – The ISSI.1 Network Gateway
Application enables wireline connectivity using the P25 ISSI without requiring
software upgrade to the subscriber devices to enable roaming.
♦ Networks connect while retaining control of their individual systems’ UCS – The
ISSI.1 Network Gateway Application preserves the User Configuration
Subsystem databases on each side of the gateway enabling users to retain
operational autonomy over their system.
♦ Cost effective implementation – The ISSI.1 Network Gateway is a very cost
effective implementation of system interoperability as a result of its site link layer
architecture, installation ease and limited feature set.
♦ Wireline-based solution enables end-to-end encryption/Does not require
Transcoding – The wireline connectivity enables end to end encryption, lower
audio delay and does not require transcoding or double-vocoding. This advantage
is experienced in lower delays, better audio quality and more robust call services
than can be accomplished by analog audio-based connections.

Operational Capacities of the ISSI.1 Gateway Application Architecture


♦ Features Supported – The ISSI.1 Network Gateway Application supports the
following features: ISSI Group Call, ISSI Emergency Call, End-to-End
Encryption, and ISSI Manual (“finger tip”) Roaming are supported.
♦ Capacity – Each ISSI.1 Network Gateway Application allows 27 simultaneous
trunked calls between systems and 60 interoperability talkgroup pairs.
♦ Console Priority – The ISSI.1 Network Gateway Application does not support
Console Priority across the interface.

Motorola is providing a single ISSI.1 Network Gateway connection from the


proposed Floyd County ASTRO 25 Zone Core to the Tennessee Valley Radio
Communications System ASTRO 25 Zone Core in Chattanooga, Tennessee. At each
of these two Zone Cores, Motorola will provide an ISSI.1 Network Gateway
application as well as the necessary server and networking equipment to support the
P25 ISSI connection.
Each server provided at the two Zone Cores (Floyd County, Georgia and
TVRCS/Chattanooga, Tennessee) will support up to three ISSI.1 Network Gateway
applications, but will only be licensed for one application on each server. Adding a
second or third ISSI application to an additional system will require additional
networking equipment.

equipped to continue operation in two reduced feature operational modes: Site
Trunking and Failsoft.
The following pages include a detailed description of each of these operational
modes, as well as a comprehensive analysis of the possible infrastructure failure
scenarios and the system redundancy for mitigating each scenario.

5.2.11.1 Wide Area Trunking


Wide Area Trunking is the ASTRO 25 system’s normal mode of operation. Wide
Area Trunking implies that the Fixed Network Equipment is operating properly. All
Simulcast cells and ASTRO 25 Repeater Sites are communicating with the Zone
Core. Subscriber units automatically roam between the various network RF cells.
Talkgroup calls occur in the appropriate RF cells if users are distributed throughout
multiple cells. Data applications are properly assigned channels for communication
between the subscriber units and the host application.

5.2.11.2 Site Trunking


Site Trunking is the first failover mode of operation. Site Trunking impacts individual
RF cells within a network. In multiple RF cell systems, one RF cell can be in Site
Trunking, while the rest of the system remains in Wide Area Trunking. Site Trunking
implies that the Simulcast Prime Site Controller or the ASTRO 25 Repeater Site has
lost connectivity with the Zone Core. Talkgroup calls initiated in the RF cell that is in
Site Trunking will only be broadcast in that RF cell. Dispatch consoles use control
stations or the operators use portable radios to communicate on a Site Trunking RF
Cell. Console priority is not available in Site Trunking. Data applications are not
available on a site in Site Trunking and will have to be reinitiated once the system
reverts to Wide Area Trunking.
Radios detect if a site is in Wide Area Trunking or site trunking. Radio models with a
display will indicate to the user when the site is operating in site trunking. The radio
alternately displays the selected talkgroup and “Site Trunking”. Depending on how
the system and user equipment are programmed, subscriber units will try to roam to
an RF cell that is in Wide Area Trunking.

5.2.11.3 Failsoft by Talkgroup


Subsystem/Site Failsoft is the final fallback means of communication if a site no
longer maintains Wide Area or Site Trunking operation. Multiple failures have to
occur for the system to enter Failsoft. Failsoft impacts individual RF cells within a
network. In multiple RF cell systems, one RF cell can be in Failsoft, while the rest of
the system remains in Wide Area Trunking. The subsystem goes into Failsoft mode
in any of these scenarios:
♦ The site controllers are not functioning properly.

♦ When all control channels are disabled or malfunctioned.
♦ When only one channel is enabled.
Failsoft operation provides communications in conventional mode via repeaters/base
radios in order to maintain vital communications. In an IP multisite Simulcast
subsystem in subsystem-wide Failsoft, received audio is routed to the comparator for
voting and redistributed to all of the sites for Simulcast transmission.
The subscriber’s operation in Failsoft mode is determined by the subscriber’s
programming. A subscriber can be programmed to behave in the following manner:
♦ Failsoft by control channel operation – The subscriber first scans for alternate
control channels outside the multisite subsystem, then scans the control channel
frequencies for Failsoft data.
♦ Failsoft by working group – The subscriber looks for Failsoft data on a pre-
programmed frequency after a scan for alternate control channels outside the
multisite subsystem is unsuccessful. If the subscriber cannot decode Failsoft data
on the pre-programmed frequency, the subscriber then scans the control channels
in the Simulcast subsystem for Failsoft data.
Subscriber units in an RF cell that is in Failsoft will try to roam to an RF cell that is
in either Wide Area Trunking or Site Trunking. Dispatch Consoles use control
stations or the operators use portable radios to communicate on a Site Trunking RF
cell. Console priority is not available in Site Trunking. Data applications are not
available on a site in Failsoft and will have to be reinitiated once the system reverts
back to Wide Area Trunking.

5.2.11.4 Individual Component Failure Scenarios

Table 5-6: Failure of Zone Controller A at the Zone Core

Scenario: Failure of Zone Controller A at the Zone Core


Result: Motorola has provided redundant Zone Controllers at the Zone Core.
Failure of the active Zone Controller at the Zone Core will result in
automatic switchover to the redundant Zone Controller. As the switchover
process takes place, the system will temporarily enter site trunking mode for
a period less than 60 seconds. Only active calls at the time of switchover
will be dropped. Wide area trunking will be restored when the switchover
process is complete. Any and all calls generated after automatic switchover
to the redundant controller will not observe any change of service. During
the transition, the dispatch operators will revert to operating on optional
Control Stations that can be selected from the MCC 7500 console.
The Zone Controllers have redundant power supplies as a standard feature,
which will help keep the controllers operational in case of a failure of that
component. The redundant controller is regularly updated with all pieces of
critical information so that if it needs to become the active controller, the
current system configuration and operational characteristics are maintained.

Result: The proposed microwave radios are arranged in a Loop configuration on
the backbone in addition to hot standby on all links. The failure of a
microwave radio at any site on the network backbone will result in
automatic reroute of traffic around the opposite direction on the loop, which
will allow the system to continue to function in wide-area trunking while the
radio is down. The failure of a microwave radio at any link will result in
automatic switchover to the hot-standby/redundant radio. The entire system
remains in the wide-area trunking mode. The failure is transparent to all

Scenario: Failure of a Dispatch Center Ethernet Switch


Result: The ASTRO 25 network was designed with dual Ethernet switches that
connect the operator positions to the network. Any operator positions
connected to the failed switch will be taken out of service. Upon notification
of the switch failure, the impacted operator positions can be moved to the
functional Ethernet switch.
Protection: Dual switches. Spare switches.
Detection: Console user detection, console diagnostics.

Failure Indications at Supervisory Console


The radio system's fault manager monitors and reports the status of all the hardware
elements in the radio and console subsystems. The supervisory console at each
dispatch center is provided with a fault management terminal, allowing the entire
radio and console network to be fault managed from the same point the rest of the
radio system is fault managed. The specific hardware elements that are monitored are
the dispatch consoles and any networking equipment that support the console
elements. Each hardware element monitors critical internal hardware sub-elements
and reports its status. Failures within a hardware element are detected and displayed
on the fault management terminal.

5.3.2 Mobile Repeaters (Digital Vehicular Repeater System)


Motorola is proposing a Futurecom Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS) to
meet Floyd County’s requirements for a Mobile Repeater.
The P25 DVRS allows Portable Subscriber Units (PSU) to be used in areas where
only Mobile Subscriber Unit (MSU) coverage is available and PSU coverage is either
intermittent or non existent. Installed in the trunk of a car, fire truck, armored
vehicle, ambulance or configured as a Transportable DVR, the DVRS extends radio
communications when the PSU users are outside of the vehicle, inside a nearby
building or in any marginal portable coverage areas.

5.3.2.1 Proposed Equipment Configuration


The DVRS proposed utilizes the mobile radio installed in the vehicle and can be
enabled or disabled when required. Some features include:

5.3.2.2 DVRS Modes of Operation


When a “DVRS Enabled” TG / Channel is selected on the Control Head, the DVR
can be switched to one of the following Modes – OFF, LOCAL or SYSTEM.
OFF mode is used when the DVRS repeat is not required (for example while the PSU
user is in the vehicle driving).
LOCAL mode is used in some tactical applications when only portable-to-portable
communications are required. Inbound calls are not repeated to the system in the
LOCAL mode i.e. the calls received by the DVRS are repeated locally but the MSU
does not key up. As an option, the DVRS can be programmed to repeat System
outbound calls to the local PSU users. As an option the MSU can be programmed to
key up when the DVR is receiving inbound calls from the local PSUs.
SYSTEM mode enables full DVRS repeat – locally and to the System. Outbound
calls received by the mobile radio are repeated by the DVRS to the local PSUs over
the DVRS channel. Inbound calls received by the DVRS are repeated locally
(portable-to-portable) as well as to the system users (by keying up the mobile radio).

Power ON/OFF
The DVRS is powered ON / OFF when the mobile radio is powered ON/OFF.

Activation
The DVRS can be activated by any of the following:

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-117


♦ External contact closure (external switch, provided by others)
♦ MDC1200 Emergency Alarm received from portable radio
♦ Preprogrammed activation DTMF code sent from portable radio (no feedback to
the portable will be provided when the system is disabled)

Deactivation
The DVRS is switched OFF (and ON) by using an external lit up switch (due to
various mounting requirements switch is to be provided by installer).

Wideband & Narrowband Operation


The DVRS supports programmable 12.5kHz and 25kHz adjacent channel spacing
operation.

PSU Group Calls


When the Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS) is ON, a local Portable
Subscriber Unit (PSU) call received by the DVRS is repeated to the System by the
mobile on the currently selected mobile mode / channel (if steering is not enabled).
If steering is enabled, the mobile is steered to a pre-programmed mode, determined
by the PL sent by the PSU. In this case the inbound PSU call is repeated on the new
(steered) mode.
Outbound calls received by the mobile are repeated by the DVRS to the analog PSUs.

PSU Emergency Alarm


An MDC1200 Emergency Alarm sent by the PSU is decoded by the DVRS and the
DVRS triggers the mobile radio emergency. If steering in Emergency is enabled, the
DVRS steers the MSU to the proper channel and then triggers mobile emergency.
The dispatcher receives the emergency Alarm with the mobile radio ID, not with the
PSU ID.
The PSU user can receive an acknowledgement tone indicating Emergency Alarm
has been received by the DVRS.
If the DVRS is OFF and it receives Emergency Alarm (requires PSU and DVRS to be
on the same channel and PSU emergency retries programmed to exceed the DVRS
counter), it automatically switches to ON mode to process the Emergency Alarm to
the System.
If programmed for VRS-EP compatible operation, the DVRS supports PL emergency
alarm and does not support MDC1200 signaling.

December 16, 2010

5-118 ASTRO 25 System Description


Trailing Tones
At the end of each call (when the PSU user releases the PTT), the DVRS sends
trailing tones over the air to advise the PSU user if the call was successfully
transmitted by the APX6500 to the system (the mobile radio was keyed up) or not. A
short high pitched tone indicates to the PSU user that the mobile radio did key up
while a low pitched tone indicates that the call was not transmitted to the system (the
mobile radio did not key up). The trailing tones are transmitted over the air and
received by all PSUs that are on the same DVRS channel and in the coverage range
of the DVRS. When the PSU user is alerted by the tones that the transmission to the
system was not successful, he/she can repeat the call.

5.3.3 InterZone System Connectivity compared to ISSI.1


This section of the system description has been developed to specifically address the
differences between Motorola’s “InterZone” solution and the P25 ISSI.1 product.
This section will discuss the user equipment, system infrastructure and the P25 ISSI
connectivity equipment.

Terminology: Definitions and Acronyms


It is necessary to provide some basic terminology and acronym definitions. These
terms are consistent with those used in the Standard, to the best of our knowledge and
except where noted.
P25 ISSI (Project 25 Inter/Intra RF Subsystem Interface) – The P25 ISSI
standard supports both single and multiple System ID configurations and enables two
or more disparate, trunked, P25 networks (RFSSs) to be connected at the network
layer, in order to provide voice and data services, end to end AES encryption and
intersystem roaming.
CCH – Control Channel
CSSI (Console Subsystem Interface) – This rides “on top of” the ISSI and enables a
Console Operator to control a call which is operating across two systems using a
CSSI/ISSI interface. This was previously a separate standard but has recently been
integrated into the ISSI standards documents suite.
RFSS (RF Subsystem) - Defined as an entity which terminates a P25 interface, such
as the P25 Phase 1 CAI, or in this document, a P25 ISSI.
Motorola RFSS - A network which has a single System ID and could be a single
zone system or multiple zones connected using an InterZone interface and using a
single System ID.
InterZone – A zone level end to end solution which connects multiple zones at the
peer to peer “zone level”. InterZone manages and arbitrates call control among zones.

ASTRO 25 System Description 5-119


Motorola uses the terms “InterZone” and “multi-zone” interchangeably. Both refer to
an end-to-end solution embedded in our core network, stations and subscribers.
ISSI TG – A talkgroup which is enabled on more than one system, operates across a
P25 ISSI interface, and enables a radio user affiliated to the ISSI TG to connect to a
Serving RFSS or move between systems while staying connected to their Home
RFSS.
Home RFSS - An ISSI TG can have only one Home RFSS; it is the call control
entity which controls the call and manages "floor control", regardless of which
system the radios are operating. Home RFSS is not the same as the “Home Zone”
inside a Motorola network.
Serving RFSS – This is an RFSS which has an active ISSI TG users affiliated to it,
but is not the Home RFSS for the ISSI TG.
"Embedded ISSI" - An ISSI-capable RFSS which has ISSI messages on CCH and
in Subscribers. For full operation it requires that the entire network (core, CCH,
radios) be upgraded so that radios understand new messages and can roam between
systems without touching them. This is not a term used in the standard.
Next Generation ISSI (NGI) - Motorola's planned implementation for the
"embedded" ISSI version which requires changes to the zone level interface, network
and control channel messages.
ISSI.1 Gateway Application - Motorola's ‘bolt on’ implementation which operates
without changing network, CCH or radios
Long IDs - This is the major change in the embedded ISSI, noted here as ("TG
1000000"); these are unique across systems.
Subscriber Unit (SU)

Notes and Assumptions


The discussion of the differences between the ISSI and Motorola’s Interzone is based
upon the following assumptions.
♦ The Project 25 ISSI standard is fully implemented with the current definition of
Scope 1 and Scope 2 as described in this document. This content is subject to
change based upon the P25 committee actions.
♦ That when connecting two networks of the same manufacturer, solutions other
than a P25 ISSI could also be used.
♦ Other manufacturers will eventually implement all features in the P25 ISSI Scope
1 and Scope 2. Although Motorola has been told by the other manufacturers that
the features will “phased in over time”, this document assumes the “final” ISSI
release such that the manufacturer has implemented all the capabilities in the
standard.

5-120 ASTRO 25 System Description


♦ This document assumes only the features in the standard are implemented.
♦ To a Motorola system user the term “Supplementary Data Services” may be
unfamiliar. This functionality refers to capabilities enabled by Control Channel
messages. Most of these features originated in Motorola’s SmartZone platform
and are in the Radio Control Manager and were carried over into the ASTRO 25
architecture.

General Cautionary Notes


♦ All of the issues associated with the ISSI are highly complex. This is an
unfortunate reality of the complex issues involved.
♦ To connect to any given Project 25 manufacturer, the only technology capable of
connecting to that Project 25 trunked system is a gateway from that manufacturer.
(Only a Motorola ISSI gateway can connect to a Motorola network, only a
competitor A ISSI gateway can connect to competitor A, etc.)
♦ Regardless of how many features an ISSI gateway manufacturer implements, the
end-to-end functionality across an ISSI among different manufacturers will
always be confined to the lesser functionality of the two. We call this the “least
common denominator.” This implies that in order to get all of the features
specified in the ISSI standard, multiple manufacturers will have to implement
ALL of them. It is Motorola’s view that this is an impractical assumption given
the level of investment required by each. Still, for the purposes of this document
we are ignoring this factor.
♦ Requesting a comparison of “InterZone and ISSI” essentially requires us to
project an ISSI implementation which would ultimately rely upon our
competitors’ ISSI implementation. Just as no competitor should speak to
Motorola’s implementation, we are profoundly uncomfortable predicting another
supplier’s solution.
♦ InterZone is an existing end to end solution, addressing multiple layers of the
network, has been shipping since 1998 and has been operating with mission
critical users every day for almost ten years.
♦ The ISSI addresses a relatively small part of the technology required to actually
implement a solution which utilizes the P25 ISSI interface. More specifically, for
our initial release, the ISSI.1 Gateway Application, the P25 ISSI specification
affects only about 10% of the technology which must be built to enable
deployment on live networks.
♦ Motorola is planning to implement two tiers of ISSI implementations, which
further confuses this issue. For the purposes of this paper, we are not referring to
either implementation. More information on our specific plans is available upon
request.
♦ The Console Subsystem Interface or CSSI was previously seen as a separate
standard. As of the January TIA meetings this Console Priority functionality has
been integrated into the ISSI standard.
♦ In order to enable the complete set of defined ISSI features, an “embedded ISSI”
will be required. As noted in the definitions, the Embedded ISSI implementations

require changes to the P25 Phase 1 CAI control channel (additional messages),
corresponding changes to P25 Phase 1 subscribers and changes to the P25 trunked
network core. Although manufacturers will phase these changes in over time, it
should be understood that no manufacturer of P25 CAI compliant equipment has
the total solution implemented and shipping today.
♦ Many, many of the features which will operate over the ISSI will do so in a
manner different from how the features operate on a single P25 or ASTRO
network today. In most cases the operation on the ISSI is limited in some fashion.
We are offering some detail on these limitations and in areas where we do not
articulate these details; we are still in the process of understanding them
ourselves.
♦ At this juncture, we must assume the ISSI standard is essentially a fixed scope
and that any feature which is planned to be added to the ASTRO 25 network will
not be included in the current version of the standard.
♦ Some of the capabilities articulated as “beyond” the ISSI could, in practice, be
supported for the situation in which a Motorola radio is the terminating device
operating over the ISSI. Still, these are beyond the ISSI definition.
♦ The feature detail information is preliminary and subject to change.

Features in the Standard


Based upon the content in the following existing or planned documents, the Trunked
ISSI standard is assumed to include the feature scope articulated below.
TIA-102.BACA-A (replaces TIA-102.BACA, TIA-102.BACA-1 Errata, TIA-
102.BACA-3 Addendum)

Trunked ISSI Scope 1


♦ Group Registration
♦ Subscriber Mobility
♦ Trunked Call Control
♦ IP Protocol selection (SIP, RTP)
♦ Talkgroup Call
♦ Unit to Unit Call (aka P25 Private Call)

Trunked ISSI Scope 2


♦ Console Dispatch traffic over the ISSI (CSSI), includes ONLY:
• Console Priority over SU transmissions
• Console Takeover of another console transmission
• Acoustic Cross-mute of adjacent audio (in dispatch room)
• Detection that multiple received audio streams are from the same audio source
♦ Project 25 Packet Data
♦ Supplementary Data Services

Capabilities Offered by InterZone beyond ISSI


With a baseline of understanding of the many caveats and assumptions related to this
question, the follow section articulates the features enabled by an InterZone solution
which will not be available on a P25 ISSI connection.
General Attributes of InterZone Which go Beyond the ISSI
♦ InterZone has Multiple Layers of Failure Mode Handling at the Call
Processing Layer built into the call processing architecture. This includes
fallback scenarios involving the Home and Participating Zones, Zone level
trunking, and more importantly, robust recovery modes which enable maximum
connectivity as the network comes back online. These capabilities are beyond the
scope of this section.
♦ Dispatch Console Features – The CSSI has only (4) features defined. By
comparison our MCC 7500 console has over 400 features; an itemized
comparison is beyond the scope of this section.
♦ Full Network Redundancy for 5NINES reliability (redundant links, devices,
automatic switchover, etc.) for robust end to end connectivity, and management
of Quality of Service and performance.
♦ Information Assurance for Network Security among connected networks,
including firewall support, integrated router encryption and encrypted
management links.
♦ Integrated and intelligent Fault Management, Monitoring and Configuration
♦ InterZone will have better end to end delay performance due to the required
connectivity between systems and additional processing time required to manage
the calls over a SIP-based call control protocol.
♦ InterZone Systems use today’s radios which can roam without changes to
software.

5.3.4 Dual Prime Site Option


The benefit of Simulcast is the ability to vote incoming transmissions and repeat the
best signal at all remote sites. The limitation of Simulcast is the remote site’s
dependence on the Prime Site to provide all audio and control guidance. In order to
limit Floyd County’s exposure, Motorola has proposed the main Prime site to be co-
located at the Mt. Alto site. In the event that Mt Alto is isolated from the rest of the
Simulcast sites, Mt Alto will continue to provide Trunking to the field users without
the other remote sites. However, should something catastrophic occur at Mt Alto, the

December 16, 2010

5-124 ASTRO 25 System Description


Simulcast system would be rendered useless, and the field users would be forced to
use the ITAC channels.
However, Motorola has provided optional pricing for adding a dual-Prime site at the
Floyd 911 center. This alternate Prime site would be manually activated upon
verification of a catastrophic failure at Mt Alto. The Simulcast system would then be
restored to provide full Trunking features and would provide Trunking coverage
using eight channels at all Simulcast RF sites (except Mt Alto).
The dual-Prime solution will eliminate any single point of failure remaining in the
Simulcast system.

5.3.5 Supplemental Rural RF Coverage Site Options


Motorola has provided our best interpretation of the RFP coverage requirements and
has met the 95% county-wide coverage. However, Motorola has provided several
site solutions to provide additional levels of coverage beyond the ability of the
Transportable Trunked Repeater and Mobile Repeater. Motorola has identified a 3-
channel ASTRO25 Trunking repeater site for seamless Trunking access and a single-
channel conventional P25 repeater (similar to the Jail and Prison repeaters) for
regional communications. Both solutions can be integrated into the dispatch console
wirelessly or using microwave. Microwave is not included in each site cost.

5.5.2 Features of All Proposed Motorola Radios


All radios that Motorola offers to the public safety market have specific features that
our customers have indicated are critical for first responders and other public safety
field personnel.

Trunking Support
All Motorola high-performance mobile and portable radios are compatible with the
Project 25 Type II standards for analog and digital trunking. They all support
conventional analog and digital operation, as well as trunked digital operation in the
same radio. In addition, they support Project 25 features for interoperability with
systems from both Motorola and other manufacturers. They are ideally suited to
situations where personnel need instant interoperability on different systems.

Backwards and Forwards Compatibility


Motorola’s current P25 radio portfolio is designed with both backwards and forwards
compatibility. The radios in our portfolio have been designed to operate on analog
conventional, Project 25 conventional, and Project 25 trunking systems, and can also
operate on systems using Motorola Project 16 analog trunking, SMARTNET, and
SmartZone technology.

Easy Radio Programming


All proposed Motorola radios can be easily programmed using Customer
Programming Software (CPS). This easy to use, Windows-based customer
programming software enables programmers to use the drag and drop, clone wizard,
and programming over IP capabilities. This increases your users’ speed and
efficiency in updating their radio’s programming. As your system changes or expands
and your field users’ needs change, you can easily add new software or future
enhancements.

Superior Audio Quality
Motorola radios incorporate Noise Reduction Software (NRS) to improve voice
intelligibility by eliminating background noise picked up by the radio microphone in
the transmitted signal, and accurately filter the caller’s voice from background noise
(Figure 5-26). This improves user safety by ensuring that transmissions are not only
heard, but clearly understood.

Without Noise Reduction With Noise Reduction

Reduction Software

Rugged, Robust Design—Standard with Every Radio


Motorola public safety radios meet applicable Military Specifications 810, C, D, E,
and F. Using MacroBlend housing material, they are designed to survive severe
shock and vibration, and exposure to damaging environments such as salt fog, UV
radiation, dust, and electrostatic discharge.
Motorola radios are tested and exposed to extreme conditions to simulate years of
abuse. Typical environmental tests performed on our radios include temperature
shock, temperature cycling, drop, display impact, vibration, blowing rain, dust, salt
fog, UV exposure and Electro-Static discharge (ESD). We also perform functional
and parametric testing to verify that the radios still work after they are exposed to the
environment. Our testing standards used include:
♦ Military Specification 810 C, D, E, F
♦ European “IP” specs
♦ Motorola Internal 12M spec

Motorola’s Internal 12M specifications are more stringent than industry-standard


testing. For example, Military Specifications for a drop test calls for the unit to be
dropped onto a plywood surface. Motorola’s drop tests utilize a steel landing surface,
which increases the severity of the test. It is Motorola procedure that each test unit
should be subjected to every environmental test, rather than using a different unit for
each test. This ensures that our radios perform to specification regardless of the
amount and type of abuse they receive.

POP25 Over the Air Programming (OTAP) (optional, not included)


All proposed radios are capable of providing Floyd with the functional and cost
benefits of Motorola’s Programming-Over Project 25 (POP25) over-the-air
programming (OTAP) technology. POP25 functionality reduces the time, effort, and
costs needed to update radio functionality by allowing radios’ configuration to be

accessed and updated over the air. Your personnel will be able to continue working in
the field while their radios are updated to the most current configuration.

5.5.3 APX Portable and Mobile Radios

Figure 5-27: The APX line of radios is the first P25 multi-band radios in the public safety market.

Motorola’s APX P25 multi-band radios deliver exceptional performance by


combining advanced voice and data technology driven by the challenges of mission
critical users. They enable Floyd County to achieve instant multi-agency
interoperability for mission critical first responders, in a form factor that has been
designed specifically for Public Safety and Law Enforcement agencies.
The APX radio interfaces with our ASTRO 25 infrastructure technology to provide
seamless, high-quality communications that meet and exceed P25 standards for all of
Floyd’s mission critical communications needs.

5.5.3.1 Features of All APX Radios


Motorola’s IP-enabled APX radios offer a full array of sophisticated features and
progressive technology, and are the most sophisticated interoperable and rugged
radios that Motorola manufactures for public safety professionals.
APX mobile and portable radios are capable of offer the following features.

Interoperability in 700/800 MHz and VHF or UHF Frequencies


The APX multi-band radio can operate on both 700/800 MHz and VHF or UHF

coordination, response, and first responder safety. This meets Floyd’s need for
seamless multi-agency collaboration.
In mission critical situations, agencies from different jurisdictions often operate on
different frequency bands – requiring personnel to carry two radios in order to
communicate with one another. With the APX portable and mobile radios, Floyd’s
agencies can purchase one radio for instant communication over multiple frequency
bands. This eliminates the need for field users to carry multiple radios, and reduces
the amount of equipment that must be maintained and installed.

Project 25 Phase 1 FDMA and Phase 2 TDMA Operation


The proposed APX mobile and portable radios can operate in both Project 25 Phase 1
FDMA and Project 25 Phase 2 TDMA trunking modes. Floyd County can purchase it
with FDMA trunking operation for the initial deployment, and upgrade in the future
with software for TDMA trunking operation. Once the Project 25 Phase 2 standards
have been finalized, Motorola will submit the APX series radio for approval through
the official standards approval process—and then make a software upgrade available
to Floyd for full compliance with Project 25 Phase 2 TDMA standards.
Using Motorola’s unique Dynamic Dual Mode (DDM) capability, APX radios can
dynamically switch between FDMA and TDMA without the user having to change
channels. This provides interoperability on demand with existing and future
networks.

Integrated GPS Capability (optional, not included)


The APX portable and mobile radios can offer Floyd the advantage of being able to
locate and track each field unit from a central location. The integrated GPS receiver
in the APX transmits the outdoor location of an individual or vehicle to map-based
location software.

Intelligent Lighting
The APX portables offer a high resolution display that uses color and lighting to
indicate radio mode, potential emergencies, or specific events. Intelligent lighting
enables users to see critical information at a glance, regardless of the amount of
ambient lighting.

Radio Profiles
Radio profiles enable users to customize their radios’ interface to their environments
and activities, including the radio’s default audio level, lighting and tone alerts. For
example, a user in bright sunlight or high-noise environments can increase the
lighting or audio level—or if the user is conducting ongoing, covert surveillance, they
can create a profile that provides lower lighting with subdued alert tones and audio.

Text Messaging (optional, not included)


Text messaging offers freeform and canned messaging between field users and
dispatch operators. This enables selected field users to not only communicate with
one another and with dispatch operators via voice transmission, but also through
efficient and discreet texts.

Security
The APX radios meet Federal Information Processing Standard Publication (FIPS)
encryption standards FIPS 140-3 and FIPS 197. The radios support multi-algorithm
Project 25 and legacy encryption capabilities, including AES / DES / DES-XL / DES-
OFB / DVP-XL for increased interoperability with other systems. AES has been
included in accordance with the RFP.
They are also capable of Motorola’s proprietary Advanced Digital Privacy (ADP),
which provides a low cost digital encryption option. ADP is a 40-bit encryption key
security, is based on the RC4 algorithm, providing secure communications with no
degradation in voice quality or coverage.

To increase the effectiveness of this encryption, Over the Air Rekeying is available to
update encryption keys while radios and their users can stay in the field. This
infrastructure and tactical over-the-air rekeying can offer the Parish the benefit of
real-time, ongoing security.

Expandable for Future Applications


One of the prime limiters of radio expansion is memory: future applications are
expected to use significantly more memory than current applications. To
accommodate this future need, each APX radio is equipped with 64 MB of industrial
grade internal memory.

both an audio and data side providing optimal functionality and loud and clear audio
in a compact rugged form factor. Its top-of-the-line audio, user interface, and
ruggedization features will enable Floyd’s personnel to focus on their mission, not
communication.

Built for Ease of Use


The APX portable radio is 15 percent smaller than our previous portable models,
making it easier to carry. Its unique T-Grip form factor provides secure and easy
handling. The radio’s ergonomics are optimized for both gloved and bare hand
operation, preventing the accidental actuation of buttons and switches. The radio’s
software enables users to easily navigate to the functions that they need in the fastest
and easiest way possible; for example, it consolidates all call lists underneath one
unified list, providing quick and easy access to all information associated with
contacts.

Superior Audio Provides Reliable Communications in the Worst


Environments
The APX portable radio equips first responders with the loudest, clearest audio of any
Motorola portable on the market – 50% louder than the Motorola XTS 5000. Unlike
most other radios, the APX has dual speakers that emit extremely loud, bi-directional
audio. These speakers accurately reproduce speech dynamics for superior
intelligibility.

Uncompromising Durability
APX portable radios are hardened to the Internal Protection (IP) 67 standard. This
means that they are completely protected against the ingress of dust and grit, and that
they have complete protection against water. In fact, the APX portable can be
immersed in two meters of water for up to two hours with no harmful effects. This
means that the Parish’s first responders can use the radios without losing
communications even in extreme environments.

Advanced Emergency Functionality


Numerous advanced emergency call/alert features are standard in the APX. These
features keep your personnel safe and communicating, even in dire circumstances:

Functional Acceptance Test Procedures 215


Section 7. Coverage Acceptance Test Plan
7.1 Overview
This Coverage Acceptance Test Plan (CATP) is designed to verify that the voice
radio system implemented by Motorola meets or exceeds the required coverage
reliability within the City and County service area as defined by the RFP. The CATP
defines the coverage testing method and procedure, the coverage acceptance
criterion, the test documentation, and the responsibilities of both Motorola and the
County.
Coverage Acceptance Testing is based upon a coverage prediction that accurately
represents the implemented infrastructure and parameters consistent with the contract
agreements. If the implemented system varies from the design parameters, a revised
coverage map will be prepared. New test maps will reflect the measured losses and
gains associated with the implemented infrastructure and subscribers. These will be
used to define the test configuration and potential areas from which test locations
may be included in the evaluation process.
There are three defined service areas as outlined in this CATP; 1) Floyd County
service area, 2) City of Rome service area, 3) and the Central Business District
service area.
To verify that the radio service area reliability is met as presented, the Floyd County
service area will be divided into approximately 1600 equally sized test tiles at
minimum. The Floyd County service area is defined by the Floyd County boundary
shape files provided in Addendum 3. The County service area excludes the City of
Rome service area and the Central Business District service area. These test tiles are
approximately 3337 feet by 3020 feet and thus meet the maximum tile size for the
countywide test of no greater than 4000 feet.
To verify that the radio service area reliability is met as presented, the City of Rome
service area will be divided into grids – with an approximated minimum of 1500
equally sized test tiles for the testing the City of Rome area. The City of Rome
service area is defined by The City of Rome boundary shape files provided in
Addendum 3 and excludes the Central Business District service area. The test tiles for
the City service area are approximately 739 feet by792 feet and thus meet the
maximum tile size for the urban services area of no greater than 2000 feet.
The City of Rome’s central business district and government areas will require
smaller test tiles as defined within the RFP. To verify that the radio service area

reliability is met as presented, the central business district service area (which is
defined in Addendum 1) will be divided into equally sized test tiles. The maximum
size of 400 feet will be observed, although Motorola’s recommendations include at
least a 600-foot tile to be practical and obtaining sufficient samples while driving in
the test tile. With a 400-foot tile, there will be approximately 6700 equally sized test
tiles. With a 600-foot tile, there will be approximately 2900 equally sized test tiles.
The quantity of test tiles is determined by the Estimate of Proportions formula to
achieve a statistically valid test.
Table 7-1 details the service area reliabilities for each of the different configurations.
The service area reliability is the percentage of test tiles that will pass within the
service area with a specified CPC or DAQ.

Motorola is additionally including several other coverage maps for various building
losses for informational purposes and to ensure all coverage criteria in the RFP is
appropriately addressed.

7-2 Coverage Acceptance Test Plan


7.1.1 CATP Definitions
Several definitions are needed to accurately describe the coverage test method.

7.1.1.1 Coverage Area


The coverage area is the geographical region in which communications will be
provided that meets or exceeds the specified CPC at the specified reliability for the
specified equipment configurations.

7.1.1.2 Reliability
Reliability is the percentage of locations within the coverage area that meet or exceed
the specified CPC. Motorola’s coverage maps indicate the area within which this
system is predicted to provide at least 95% reliability of meeting or exceeding the
CPC.

7.1.1.3 Channel Performance Criterion


CPC is the specified minimum design performance level in a faded channel. For this
system, the CPC is DAQ-3.4 for portables and DAQ-4.0 for mobiles. The DAQ
definitions are provided in Table 7-2: Delivered Audio Quality Definitions
Table 7-2: Delivered Audio Quality Definitions

DAQ Faded Subjective Performance Description


1 Unusable, speech present but unreadable.
2 Understandable with considerable effort. Frequent repetition due to
noise/distortion.
3 Speech understandable with slight effort. Occasional repetition
required due to noise/distortion.
3.4 Speech understandable with repetition only rarely required. Some
noise/distortion.
4 Speech easily understood. Occasional noise/distortion.
4.5 Speech easily understood. Infrequent noise/distortion.
5 Speech easily understood.

7.1.1.4 Service Area Reliability


The service area reliability is the percentage of test tiles that will pass within the
service area with a specified CPC or DAQ. These service areas are as noted in header
of Table 7-1 and meet the requirements of the RFP.
There are three defined service areas as outlined in this CATP: 1) Floyd County
service area, 2) City of Rome service area, 3) Central Business District service area.
The outline of these service areas are depicted on each coverage map. Motorola has
indicated the CPC Service Area Reliability of these areas in Table 7-1 of this

document for the losses detailed in the RFP. Although the coverage maps do not
guarantee coverage within a specific location, they do indicate the ability of the
system to overcome the expected losses of these buildings.

7.1.1.5 Equipment Configurations


There are two configurations for the field unit equipment or subscriber upon which
coverage acceptance is based. Motorola’s coverage maps for this system indicate the
coverage area for the following equipment configurations:
♦ 3-watt Portable.
♦ Remote Speaker Microphone and ½ wave flex-whip antenna.
♦ In swivel case at hip level (3 feet) for Transmit and Receive.
♦ 15-watt mobile with unity gain antenna center roof mounted.
The 8-site Simulcast proposed design and the 7-site simulcast with 1 ASTRO 25
Repeater sites proposed design support this configuration.
♦ The Seven (7) or eight (8)-site System Transmitting Simulcast and Receiver
Voting sites utilize P25 compliant ASTRO 25 Linear Simulcast Modulation
(LSM).
♦ The One (1) ASTRO 25 Repeater Sites utilize P25 C4FM modulation.
In-Building Coverage
Motorola’s coverage maps for portable in-building equipment configurations are
predictions of coverage inside 4 dB, 6 dB, 15 dB, 20 dB, and 25 dB loss buildings.
Since building loss varies significantly depending on the construction of buildings,
Motorola’s coverage maps do not predict coverage within any specific building.
Rather, the in-building coverage maps indicate the area within which this system is
predicted to provide the percentage reliability of meeting or exceeding the CPC of
DAQ-3.4. The named buildings in Attachment C of the RFP will be tested per the
requirements of the RFP. Motorola will provide 95% reliability coverage within these
buildings as required.

7.1.2 CATP Method


The method used to test coverage is statistical sampling of the predicted coverage
area to verify that the CPC is met or exceeded at the required reliability for the
defined equipment configuration. It is impossible to verify every point within a
coverage area, because there are infinite points; therefore, coverage reliability will be
verified by sampling a statistically significant number of randomly selected locations,
quasi-uniformly distributed throughout the predicted coverage area.
This CATP provides an objective, quantitative method of measurement using
Motorola’s Voyager software in conjunction with an APX 6000 portable radio for
location reference, signal strength measurements, and recording.

7-4 Coverage Acceptance Test Plan


The CATP also provides a subjective audio quality test by using actual equipment
configured as it will be used in the system.
If a coverage test, or a portion thereof, is suspected by Motorola to have failed due to
external interference, those tiles suspected of being affected by an interferer may be
retested. If the tiles (or test points) retested are confirmed to have failed due to
interference, those tiles (or test points) will be excluded from all acceptance
calculations and Motorola will work with the County to identify potential solutions to
the interference issues.
If a coverage test, or a portion thereof, is suspected by Motorola to have failed due to
the system malfunctioning and being in need of repair, those tiles (or test points)
suspected of being affected by this may be retested. The coverage testing will be
stopped until the repairs are made. After the repairs are made, Motorola will retest
only the tiles (or test points) that failed due to the system malfunctioning and being in
need of repair.
Determine the Required Number of Test Tiles in the Coverage Area
The predicted coverage area shown on Motorola’s coverage maps and service area
will be divided into a tile pattern to produce at least the number of uniformly sized
test locations (or tiles) required by the Estimate of Proportions formula {TSB-88B,
sub clause 8.2.1, equation 64}. The minimum number of test tiles required varies for
different systems, from a hundred to many thousands, depending on the size of the
service area, desired confidence in results, type of coverage test, and the predicted
versus required reliability. Motorola’s Hydra coverage modeling tool calculates the
required test tiles as described.
Constraints on Test Tile Sizes
The minimum tile size is 100 by 100 wavelengths; however, the minimum practical
test tile size is typically about 400 by 400 meters (about 0.25 by 0.25 miles). The
minimum practical tile size for any system is determined by the distance traveled at
the speed of the test vehicle while sampling, GPS error margin, and availability of
road access within very small test tiles. A related consideration is the time, resources,
and cost involved in testing very large numbers of very small tiles. The maximum test
tile size is 2 by 2 km (1.25 by 1.25 miles). In some wide-area systems, this constraint
on maximum tile size may dictate a greater number of test tiles than the minimum
number required by the Estimate of Proportions formula. Motorola has complied with
the maximum tile sizes as recommended by the RFP.
Accessibility to Test Tiles
Prior to testing (if possible) or during the test, Motorola and the County will
determine whether any test tiles are inaccessible for the coverage test (due to lack of
roads, restricted land, etc.). Inaccessible tiles will be counted as a pass for the
acceptance test calculation.

December 16, 2010

Coverage Acceptance Test Plan 7-5


Randomly Select a Test Location Within Each Tile
Using Voyager, the actual test location within each test tile will be randomly selected
by the test vehicle crossing into the tile at an arbitrary point, with an arbitrary speed
and direction. This will be the queue for the objective sampling test to begin.
Perform Measurements in Each Tile
In each test tile, a series of 200 or more sequential SSI measurements (sub-samples)
will be made. This test location measurement, containing a number of sub-samples,
constitutes the test sample for this location. The test sample will establish the local
mean and median SSI within the test tile. With this measurement, the required target
SSI can be extrapolated for each configuration and loss required. The distance over
which the sub-samples are measured will be 40 wavelengths. A mean or median of
multiple SSI sub-samples is used rather than a single measurement to ensure that the
measurement is not biased by taking a single sample that might be at a peak or null
point on the radio wave.

7.1.2.1 Determine If Each Test Tile Passes or Fails the CPC


Requirement
For each test tile, the pass/fail criterion is the objective target signal strength test that
indicates the specified DAQ-3.4 (DAQ-4.0 for mobile). To simulate losses of
buildings, the loss is simply extrapolated from the measured faded SSI. The target
faded SSI is the actual signal level as measured by the test radio at the input
connector.

* The -7.7 dB is the antenna loss figure for the ½ wave flex-whip antenna on an APX
6000 portable in a swivel case with remote speaker microphone and standard battery.
** The +2.8 dB is the mobile antenna and transmission line that a portable does not
have and thus must be added back to get the signal at the input to the test radio.

7.1.2.2 Determine the Coverage Area Reliability for Acceptance


After all accessible tiles in the coverage area have been tested; the coverage area
reliability (percentage) will be determined by dividing the number of tiles that pass
by the total number of tiles tested. The total number of tiles is defined as the
summation of the tiles tested in the Floyd County, City of Rome, and central business
district service areas. The coverage test acceptance criterion for each equipment
configuration is that the tested coverage area reliability must be equal to or greater
than the required reliability as shown in Table 7-1.

7.1.2.3 Responsibilities and Preparation


This information will help set the expectations of Floyd County and Motorola
regarding requirements for equipment, personnel, and time during the coverage test.
The County will provide the following for the duration of the coverage test:
♦ One marked Public Safety vehicle as an escort for each test team.
♦ At least one City/County representative, and one Tusa Consulting Services
representative for each test vehicle to be the customer representatives for each of
the field test teams.
♦ At least one City/County representative, one Tusa Consulting Services
representative for the fixed location (likely the dispatch center) to be the customer
representatives for the fixed end.
Motorola will provide the following for the duration of the coverage test:
♦ Rental off road type vehicles for the duration of the test
♦ At least one Motorola representative to operate Voyager for each team (this
would assume that the customer representative would drive the vehicle).
♦ At least one calibrated Motorola Voyager coverage testing package per team
♦ Test radios for each field team (will use calibrated subscribers)
Coverage acceptance testing will be performed within the borders of the County.
Motorola has determined the minimum number of test tiles required, as described in
Section 7.1 of this CATP. Motorola and the County will plan the route for the test
vehicles through the coverage test area, to ensure that at least the minimum required
number of tiles is tested. If possible, any tiles not accessible to the test vehicles will
be identified while planning the route.

Coverage Acceptance Test Plan 7-7


Motorola will calibrate the test radios (standard APX 6000 portables) used with the
Voyager coverage testing package. This can be done at an independent testing lab or
facility using their calibrated signal generating equipment. Depending on the system,
either Motorola or the County may provide the test radios.
Motorola will conduct this test only once. If any portion of the test is determined to
be unreliable because of proven equipment malfunctions or failures, Motorola will
repeat the portion of the test affected by the equipment malfunction or failure. The
County will have the option to accept the coverage at any time prior to completion of
the coverage test.
Before starting the test, the County and Motorola will agree upon the time frame for
Motorola’s submission of a report containing the coverage test results.

7.1.2.4 CATP Procedures


Objective Signal Strength Testing Measurements
The Motorola Voyager coverage test setup consists of the following:
♦ A calibrated digital voice test radio, connected to an antenna installed in a
representative location on the test vehicle. The test radio will monitor sequential
transmissions within each grid from the fixed network radio site(s).
♦ A laptop computer with Voyager software and a mapping database, which
includes highways and local streets, political boundaries, rivers, and railroads.
♦ A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, which will provide the computer
with the location and speed of the test vehicle.
Subjective Voice Quality Testing
A subjective listening test will be performed for coverage acceptance testing to verify
talk-out and talk-in DAQ performance of the system. Since the DAQ-3.4 portable
threshold is more stringent than the DAQ-4.0 mobile threshold, the test will be
conducted using the DAQ-3.4 portable.
The procedure for the subjective DAQ coverage test will be as follows:
♦ To perform a statistically valid subjective DAQ test, a large group of people is
required to ensure high confidence in the results. However, obtaining a large
group of people for a subjective listening test is usually impractical; therefore,
several (3 to 4) people in a car or van must be used for the test. Since a group this
small cannot provide statistically significant results, it is very important that the
personnel participating in the subjective test be familiar with the sound of radio
conversations. Before subjectively testing, all personnel who will evaluate audio
quality must be “calibrated” by listening to examples of static and faded audio of
various CPC levels from the type of system being tested.
♦ A fixed control point location will be established. Prior to testing, the County and
Motorola will agree upon a procedure to allow each audio transmission to be
evaluated for approximately five seconds.

7-8 Coverage Acceptance Test Plan


♦ The test participants will be divided into teams, each consisting of personnel from
the County, Tusa Consulting Services, and Motorola. Each team will have
members that operate a portable unit inside the test vehicle and members that are
stationed at the fixed control point location. An odd number of team members is
required to avoid ties for the pass/fail consensus.
♦ As the field test team(s) drive through the coverage area, test locations within
each tile will be selected randomly by Voyager that will be conducting the
objective SSI testing. The voice subjective test may begin after the sampling is
complete. This is to prevent any degradation to the receiver sampling the SSI.
♦ The field test unit will make a call, identify the test tile by the current x-y tile
location, and repeat one of the ten phonetically balanced phrases (approximately
5 seconds in length). The fixed location unit (console or control station) test team
will then determine if the voice passes or fails the DAQ criteria as defined by the
Table 7-2: Delivered Audio Quality Definitions in this document. The fixed
location will then read one of the ten phonetically balanced phrases
(approximately 5 seconds in length) and the field team will in turn determine if
the voice passes or fails the DAQ criteria shown in Table 7-2: Delivered Audio
Quality Definitions
♦ The tile pass/fail evaluations will be used to determine the coverage area
reliability of the defined coverage areas in Table 7-1. If any test point should fail,
the test team will move three feet and perform another test in the same manner.
Either passed test will render that test point a PASS. No more than 15% of the test
points within a given service area may be deemed to have passed due to a
successful retry. If the portable transmission is still a considered a FAIL, a DAQ-
4.0 test will be conducted using a mobile radio for purposes of evaluating mobile
coverage.
♦ Coverage acceptance will be based on demonstrating that the percentage of the
tile locations, as described in Table 7-1 for each equipment configuration will
provide an audio quality of DAQ-3.4 or better (DAQ-4.0 for mobiles). The
system coverage acceptance criterion will be the successful passing of each of the
equipment configurations.
♦ Motorola reserves the right to review any test tiles that fail the subjective DAQ
tests.
Objective SSI Testing and Subjective Voice Quality Testing
Both the subjective and objective testing as described will be performed at the same
time but will be evaluated independently of each other. A failed tile for the objective
test does not constitute a failure for the subjective testing. The reason for this is that
the points are taken at different times (thus at different locations). The modeling does
not predict the probability of one location against the other but predicts area
reliability of all test points for each test.

Critical Buildings Subjective Voice Quality Testing
An independent subjective listening test will be performed for each of the 176 critical
buildings identified in Attachment C of the RFP. Testing will verify talk-out and talk-
in DAQ performance of the system.
The procedure for the critical building subjective DAQ coverage test will be as
follows:
♦ To perform a statistically valid subjective DAQ test, a large group of people is
required to ensure high confidence in the results. However, obtaining a large
group of people for a subjective listening test is usually impractical; therefore,
several (3 to 7) people must be used for the test. Since a group this small cannot
provide statistically significant results, it is very important that the personnel
participating in the subjective test be familiar with the sound of radio
conversations. Before subjectively testing, all personnel who will evaluate audio
quality must be “calibrated” by listening to examples of static and faded audio of
various CPC levels from the type of system being tested.
♦ A fixed control point location will be established. Prior to testing, the County and
Motorola will agree upon a procedure to allow each audio transmission to be
evaluated for approximately five seconds.
♦ The test participants will be divided into teams, each consisting of personnel from
the County, Tusa Consulting Services, and Motorola. Each team will have
members that operate a portable unit inside the building and members that are
stationed at the fixed control point location. An odd number of team members is
required for the pass/fail consensus.
♦ Each critical building must be divided into test points:
♦ 40,000 square feet per floor or less - The building’s lowest floor that is
completely above ground level will be tested. This lowest floor test will
include 20 test points, evenly distributed throughout the floor. The 20 test
points will include at least one test point at each of the furthermost accessible
locations in the northern, southern, western, eastern, and one in the center of
the floor, as well as one point in each stairwell entrance. All test locations will
be above ground level. If no more than 5% of the test points on this floor have
been shown to have failed, then this particular building is considered to have
passed. If more than 5% of the test points on this floor have been shown to
have failed, then a full building test will need to be performed. If necessary,
the full building CATP will include 20 points, evenly distributed throughout
each of the remaining upper floors. The 20 points will include at least one test
point at each of the furthermost accessible locations in the northern, southern,
western, eastern, and one in the center of the floor, as well as one point in
each stairwell entrance on each floor. All test locations will be above ground
level. There will be a minimum of 100 test points per building. Should the full
building not pass the required 95% threshold, the building will be retested
using a vehicular repeater purchased by Floyd County as part of this project to
supplement in-building coverage. The vehicular repeater will be placed within

200 feet and in line of sight of each individual building being tested. The

the floor as well as one point in each stairwell entrance on each floor. All test
locations will be above ground level. There will be a minimum of 20 test
points per floor and a minimum of 100 test points per building. Should the full
building not pass the required 95% threshold, the building will be retested
using a vehicular repeater purchased by Floyd County as part of this project to
supplement in-building coverage. The vehicular repeater will be placed within
200 feet and in line of sight of each individual building being tested. The
building will be retested using the procedure outlined in this CATP.
♦ Specialty Buildings – Any critical buildings which are constructed with metal
roofs, bay doors, or stairwells, will be tested with the exterior doors open, this
includes bay doors at fire/EMS stations, manufacturing/shipping facilities,
and airport hangars, or exterior stairwell access doors for multiple story
buildings.
♦ Campuses – Campuses are defined as any building listed in Attachment C of
the RFP that consist of more than one (1) building. All buildings within a
campus will provide equally weighted test points which will contribute to the
coverage criteria of 95% reliability. Therefore, the total number of test points
will be the summation of all the test point from all the buildings within a
campus.
♦ In order to make the testing as easy and time efficient as possible, the talkout and
talkback field tests for all test points will initially be performed utilizing a
portable in hand without the use a remote speaker microphone. The field test unit
will make a call, identify the test number and the building, and repeat one of the
ten phonetically balanced phrases (approximately 5 seconds in length).
♦ The fixed location unit (console or control station) test team will then determine if
the voice passes or fails the DAQ criteria as defined by Table 7-2 of this
document. The fixed location will then repeat one of the ten phonetically

balanced phrases (approximately 5 seconds in length) and the field team will in
turn determine if the voice passes or fails the DAQ criteria.
♦ If any test point should fail, the test team will move three feet and perform
another test in the same manner. Either passed test will render that test point a
PASS. No more than 15% of the test points within a given building may be
deemed to have passed due to a successful retry. If a test point also fails the retry
then measurements will be made from that test point to determine if in-building
loss exceeds 25db for that specific test point. If penetration loss exceeds 25db,
that specific test point will be omitted from reliability calculations.
♦ Each critical buildings coverage acceptance will be based on demonstrating that
95 percent of the test point locations provide an audio quality of DAQ-3.4 or
better. Motorola reserves the right to review any test tiles that fail the subjective
DAQ tests. Each critical building will be evaluated independently of each other.
A failed test for one critical building does not constitute a failure of another
building.
♦ If a building is determined to have failed after the entire critical building testing
procedure is completed as described in this CATP then the system may be
modified to achieve the required reliability within the failed building. If it is
determined that a BDA system is required then a BDA system may be installed as
described in the SOW of this proposal.

7.1.2.5 CATP Documentation and Coverage Acceptance


During the coverage acceptance test, Voyager generates computer files that include
the mean and median SSI for each test tile. It also generates a raw file that has the
multiple samples for each test point taken. A copy of this raw data will be provided to
the County or Tusa Consulting Services at any time per the RFP requirements.
Motorola will process this data to determine whether the coverage test was passed for
the equipment configurations and to produce a map that graphically displays the
statistical coverage test results along with the analyzed numbers of the passes and
failures.
Motorola will submit to the County a report detailing the coverage test results. This
report will include a document, which is to be signed by both the County and
Motorola, indicating the test was performed in accordance with this CATP and the
results of the test indicate the acceptance or non-acceptance of the coverage portion
of the system. The County will have the option to accept the coverage at any time
prior to completion of the coverage test or documentation process.

8.1.2.1 Hydra Development
Hydra’s coverage prediction tool was developed to provide accurate coverage
simulations by applying proven models to detailed system and environmental data
across large geographical areas.
To accurately create a picture of the predicted radio coverage, many elements must
be considered. Some of these elements, called system factors, are related to the
system design parameters. System factors affecting coverage performance include the
following: frequency, distance, transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, antenna
height, and antenna gain. Other factors, called environmental factors, vary according
to the path taken by the radio signal and the environment surrounding the receiver.
Environmental factors include the following: terrain variations, obstructions,
vegetation, buildings, ambient noise, and interference.
All coverage prediction methods try to account for both types of factors and
incorporate them into a computational model. In general, the currently accepted
models, such as Okumura, Longley-Rice, and TIA provide excellent portrayals of
radio coverage when used within their respective ranges of applicability.
In the past, this level of analysis was adequate for the type of basic systems that were
available. However, today’s complex technologies, such as digital voice radios,
packet data systems, or simulcast, require a much more in-depth analysis of the
expected coverage performance to create a cost-effective design. This makes it
necessary to select the appropriate coverage model, provide accurate representation
of the environmental factors throughout the service area, and apply the coverage
analysis method to every location within the service area.
Recognizing these facts, Motorola has developed Hydra, a multi-purpose network
design tool that includes a coverage analysis program. Taking advantage of the
knowledge gained from Motorola’s many years of practical experience and coverage
testing, Hydra provides a superior means for analyzing system coverage. This
program, unique to Motorola, employs a technique of computing coverage on every
tile in a service area rather than along a finite number of radials. Hydra computes
“layers” of these tiles, with each layer containing the values of propagation model
losses, coverage simulation results, or datasets. Layers can be displayed separately or
in any combination as maps of the service area.

8.1.2.2 Hydra Detailed Description

8.1.2.2.1 Inputs and Outputs


Inputs to Hydra’s simulations include system architecture, equipment characteristics,
service area boundaries, areas of various building losses, subscriber unit distribution
density for Traffic analysis, etc.
Hydra’s coverage map outputs are created and displayed using ESRI’s shapefiles, an
industry-standard GIS file format. Shapefiles from many sources (GIS vendors, the

8-2 Coverage Description


Internet, your own GIS department, etc.) can be loaded, displayed, and used in Hydra
to enhance mapping, and to define service area polygons. Hydra’s coverage analyses
can be limited to specified service area polygons (e.g., a county, a city, or a dispatch
territory), so coverage reliability can be analyzed exclusively within the boundaries
of your operating area.
In addition to showing coverage reliability, Hydra maps can display terrain, land
cover, roads and boundaries, signal strength and field strength, interference
predictions, etc.
Hydra provides closed-loop integration between predicting coverage and verifying
coverage using Motorola’s VoyagerSM coverage acceptance testing tools. Field
survey measurements for signal strength can be loaded into Hydra for analysis,
display, and printing.

8.1.2.2.2 Tile Method


Hydra uniformly divides the entire geographical area to be analyzed into small,
distinct areas called tiles. The resolution (size) of the tiles can be as fine as one arc-
second (approximately 100 feet at U.S. latitudes). At each tile, Hydra models
propagation from each site in the system.
The tile method is of particular importance in the calculation of simulcast coverage
and interference analysis. Radial methods determine performance only at the
locations where radials from all sites cross, leaving many areas where coverage
performance is not calculated. With the tile method, the information from every site
and all datasets is available in every tile; this provides the most accurate results for
multi-site analyses (simulcast, voting, interference, best server, etc.).

8.1.2.2.3 Datasets
For propagation prediction, Hydra uses two types of geophysical datasets:
♦ Hypsographic (terrain elevations) - to determine shadow loss and elevation
♦ Morphological (land use) - for environmental clutter loss
With the proper datasets, Hydra produces accurate results. Because propagation
prediction accuracy is directly dependent on the quality of the digitized datasets,
Motorola uses high-quality datasets for its analyses. These datasets generally
originate from official government agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey in
the United States, and equivalent governmental organizations worldwide. When
datasets are not available from these sources, Motorola can work with commercial
GIS vendors to produce Hydra-compatible datasets.
Even the best datasets contain a certain amount of errors, caused by a number of
factors that are difficult to completely overcome due to the massive amount of data
involved. Some examples follow:

Coverage Description 8-3


♦ Source Information – Older hypsographic and morphologic datasets were
derived from existing map information, so any errors in the existing maps were
carried over to the datasets. Newer datasets such as the U.S. National Land Cover
Dataset (NLCD) are derived from satellite imagery, and are affected by
digitization error.
♦ Dataset Development Process – Potential error sources include limitations in the
digitizing algorithms, computer hardware problems, and judgment calls by the
dataset developer.
♦ Dataset Currency – Since the physical world is constantly changing, datasets
can never be completely up-to-date. Over time, forests and shrub land are turned
into farmland, hills are leveled, roads are built, communities are developed, and
large buildings are constructed. Natural phenomena such as earthquakes,
volcanoes, fires, storms, etc., change both the topography and environmental
factors.
Hydra, like all terrain-based propagation tools, provides coverage predictions that are
only as accurate as the available datasets permit. In the U.S., Motorola uses high-
quality terrain and land cover data derived from USGS 30-meter DEM and NLCD
sources.
Other datasets that Hydra can use include the following:
♦ Planimetric (mapping) – roads, water features, political boundaries, feature
names, etc.
♦ U.S. Radio Site Locations – coordinates of existing radio sites, including FCC
Wireless Licenses, FCC Antenna Site Registry, and some commercial site
providers.
♦ U.S. Frequencies – potentially available channels in geographic areas, per FCC
Wireless Licenses.

8.1.2.2.4 Propagation Model


For each tile, Hydra predicts signal strength using an improved algorithm based on
the industry-accepted Okumura model.1

8.1.2.2.5 Coverage Reliability


Hydra coverage maps indicate the probability (usually referred to as reliability) of the
radio system providing a minimum acceptable criterion, such as a voice Delivered
Audio Quality (DAQ) or a data Message Success Rate (MSR). Since system coverage
can never be one-hundred percent reliable, there will always be particular times and

8-4 Coverage Description


locations where the signal strength does not meet that needed to reach the
performance criterion. These locations of unsatisfactory performance are often
predictable in a coverage study. However, there are also areas of unsatisfactory
coverage that cannot be predicted due to unknown circumstances such as unusual
structures, tree density, ambient noise, atmospheric conditions, dataset errors, and
interference from co-channel or adjacent channel units operating outside their normal
service area.
Because these conditions exist and signals fade due to these
environmental and terrain factors, coverage must be described
statistically in terms of a percentage of locations that exhibit the
minimum acceptable criterion.

Hydra predicts Area reliability, defined as the probability of achieving a specified


performance criterion within a geographical area of interest. The area of interest is
the entire Service Area.
To provide radio systems with acceptably few communications failures throughout
the Covered Area, Motorola designs coverage at high Area reliabilities. The voice
performance criterion is going to be DAQ. It is also important to note that locations
outside of a Hydra map coverage area may still provide useable communications,
even though such locations do not achieve the minimum acceptable performance.

8.1.2.3 Hydra Capabilities


Hydra provides detailed performance simulation of the following Motorola wireless
network architectures:
♦ Voice coverage and traffic (Analog FM, ASTRO®, etc.).
♦ ASTRO 25 Integrated Voice & Data (IV&D) coverage and traffic.
If co-channel and/or adjacent-channel sites are known to exist, Hydra can model both
Interfered & non-Interfered coverage.
Hydra’s Frequency Re-Use Planning analysis takes into account both co-channel and
adjacent channel frequencies.

8.1.2.3.1 Voice Systems


Hydra’s coverage models use proven Okumura-based prediction methods and Monte
Carlo simulation techniques to provide coverage reliability maps. Voice coverage
models (Voice, ASTRO 25) provide system-wide coverage maps, as well as
subsystem maps (when applicable, e.g., for Simulcast cells and Receiver Voting), and
individual site maps.

Coverage Description 8-5


8.1.2.3.2 Simulcast Coverage Performance
For a simulcast system, merely providing coverage maps of individual sites
(separately or on the same map) does not accurately represent the total system
performance, which depends upon differential delays and aggregate signal levels.
Therefore, Motorola has developed Hydra’s simulcast model, which uses the delay
spread methodology to simulate aggregate signal strength and audio phase angle
(delay) throughout the entire predicted coverage area. All locations within the
predicted coverage area are analyzed for the combined effect of signal strengths and
differential delays from the simulcast transmitters in the system. Hydra’s simulcast
coverage maps will show any areas predicted to have coverage problems caused by
out-of-phase signals and/or inadequate signal strengths. Hydra allows modeling with
varied transmitter launch delays to predict optimized simulcast coverage within the
area being evaluated.

8.1.2.3.3 Data Systems (ASTRO 25 IV&D)


Wireless data network performance is highly dependent on RF coverage reliability,
network protocol, and network traffic load. Hydra accurately predicts the coverage
and traffic performance of Motorola data systems by modeling the automatic protocol
retry mechanisms of data protocols. Hydra integrates RF coverage prediction,
network protocol modeling, and traffic engineering into a single simulation, and
utilizes Monte Carlo simulations as well as discrete event simulation techniques to
provide a tool that accurately predicts wireless network system performance.
Hydra uses the Okumura model for terrain-based propagation prediction, and adds
the modeling of the protocol behavior (try-based coverage) via a detailed protocol
simulation. Hydra models the relevant layers of the OSI protocol stack, from the
physical layer of the air interface to the application layer of the host and subscriber
entities.
Using this modeling approach, Hydra can account for all the elements that impede
network performance, from packet loss on the wireless link due to co-channel
interference, to packet latencies in the fixed end equipment introduced by protocol
behavior. Hydra’s modeling architecture allows true end-to-end system modeling.

8.1.2.3.4 Data Coverage


Hydra’s data coverage model, through multiple iterations, displays the area that meets
the MSR performance criterion requested by the user. The system-wide maps show
the composite coverage from multiple sites, at the specified area reliability criterion
and for the specified number of protocol tries.

8.1.2.3.5 Data Traffic


Hydra integrates coverage prediction into the traffic simulation, so the terrain and
subscriber distribution effects on packet collisions and interference are modeled in

Motorola’s radio networks. Hydra provides accurate, easy-to-read maps of the
predicted coverage for your radio system.

9.1 Systems Integration Statement of Work

9.1.1 Systems Integration Overview


Motorola’s Systems Integration has established processes for systems implementation
that follow Motorola’s pioneering Six Sigma quality and adhere to best practices
frameworks such as ISO9001, TL9000, and ITIL. These processes effectively
address the requirements of Floyd County and focus on multi-agency/multi-
jurisdictional interoperability in multiple technology environments; complex system
solutions requiring a high degree of technical coordination and attention to the
smallest details.
This Systems Integration Statement of Work (SOW) describes the deliverables to be
furnished to Floyd County and the tasks to be performed by Motorola, its
subcontractors, and by the County in order to implement the proposed solution. It
contains information that describes the most current understanding of the work
required by both parties to provide a successful implementation.
It is understood that this SOW may be revised during contract negotiations or during
the Contract Design Review (CDR) and through any other Change Orders that may
occur during the execution of the project. If there are changes to the Scope of Work,
these changes must be reflected in this SOW before becoming binding on either
party. This SOW will be an Exhibit to the Contract negotiated between Motorola and
Floyd County. After contract execution, changes to the SOW will be made through
the formal contract Change Order process as set forth in the Contract.

9.1.2 Project Management


Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to
address our customer’s contractual requirements. To this end, there are nine
interrelated practices that are key to project management with each as important as
the others. These nine key practices are identified and further described below as:
1) Scope management
2) Schedule and Time management
3) Cost management
4) Quality management
5) Risk management
6) Subcontracts and Procurement management
7) Resources management
8) Communications management
9) Integration management (System Implementation Work Plan)

December 16, 2010

Systems Integration Statement of Work 9.1-1


9.1.2.1 Scope Management
Scope management is the process of maintaining control of the project in terms of the
aims, goals, and objectives of Floyd County. During the planning process, Motorola
strives to ensure that the project scope includes all the work required and only that
work required to satisfy the contractual requirements of the project. Motorola’s
understanding of the Scope of Work is defined in this SOW and in the System
Description.

9.1.2.2 Schedule and Time Management


The project schedule identifies Motorola and the County’s projected timeline for
completing the required tasks to successfully implement the County’s new digital
ASTRO25 radio and dispatch communications system. Upon contract award,
Motorola’s Project Manager will provide an updated project schedule with specific
sub-activities to display accurately the start and completion dates of the project. This
schedule will be updated regularly during the implementation of the project and
updates will be provided to the County’s Project Manager.
Motorola will work with Floyd County to identify all project responsibilities for the
successful completion of the project. Upon mutual agreement of the final project
schedule, the schedule will be incorporated as part of the final contract. Motorola will
closely coordinate the schedule with Floyd County to adjust, compensate for, and
take corrective actions as required by any schedule changes. Schedule delays that
occur through no fault of Motorola shall result in a modification of the schedule
and/or cost of the project and will be amended to the Contract as required.
The preliminary project schedule included in this response is directed toward
achieving an operational system, based on an estimated contract execution date of
May 31st, 2011. In order to assure timely completion, both Motorola and the County
must work towards compliance with all interim milestones.

9.1.2.3 Cost Management


During the execution of a project of this scope, contract change requirements may
arise from time to time to accommodate changes in scope. Either party may request
changes within the general scope of the contract. If a requested change causes an
increase or decrease in the cost or time required to perform the contract, Motorola
and Floyd County will agree upon an equitable adjustment of the Contract Price,
Performance Schedule, or both and document it as a part of the Change Order
process.

9.1-2 System Integration Statement of Work


9.1.2.4 Quality Management
It is Motorola’s policy to produce and provide products and services of the highest
quality which are responsive to the needs of our customers. Motorola has a well-
established reputation for designing and developing high quality products and
systems, on schedule, and within budget. Motorola adheres to the International
Standards Organizations (ISO) quality standards.
All work will be performed consistent with high quality commercial practice and in
accordance with Motorola’s Quality Standards for Fixed Equipment Installations and
all applicable manufacturer installation and maintenance manuals.

9.1.2.5 Risk Management


One of the major tasks of project management is to mitigate risk to our customers, to
Motorola, our subcontractors, the environment and the public. No project is entirely
without risk, but purchasing from Motorola reduces the risk by bringing the benefit of
our experience in implementing radio systems. Potential problems, which have been
resolved in the past, can be planned for and avoided. Motorola has worked closely
with Coosa Valley Communications to identify current County systems and
operations to better tailor our proposal. Motorola’s thorough review of customer
requirements and cost analysis allows us to address these issues and develop a system
implementation plan that is workable both from a time and cost standpoint while
minimizing the risk to all parties.

9.1.2.6 Subcontracts and Procurement Management


Motorola has extensive experience in managing programs with many large
subcontracted efforts. Motorola routinely employs teams of subcontractors as integral
members of our system integration teams and we have established policies and
procedures to manage these efforts. Early in the proposal phase, Motorola establishes
the groundwork that enables a rapid execution of subcontracts with each of our team
members. Motorola’s subcontracts define the tasks to be performed by and the
Project Schedule which is required from our subcontractors in accordance with our
prime contract.

9.1.2.7 Resource Management


Motorola believes that the success of any project depends upon obtaining and
applying the best resources to every aspect of the project through organizational
planning, staff acquisition, and team development. Our staffing approach brings
together a team of specialists, subcontractors, engineers, and project management
personnel under the direction of a Project Manager. This philosophy also pervades
our selection of suppliers, facilities, tools, and staff. By integrating our

9.1.3.3 System Fleetmapping and Template Definition


Fleetmapping is the process of configuring a system’s features and programming
parameters to function according to the unique operational requirements of each
participating agency. Programming decisions for system infrastructure, dispatch
consoles, and subscriber units are critical to tailoring system performance. Motorola
will provide assistance to the County in making informed equipment programming
choices based on their unique operational expectations.
Fleetmap requirements (subscriber configuration for end users) must be determined
prior to subscriber unit programming and installation, but ideally, prior to system
staging. This is a major undertaking and will require a joint effort on the part of the
County and Motorola to make decisions according to the Project Schedule. Because
the high level management of the new digital ASTRO25 system is so critical,
Motorola recommends that the County set up a fleetmap committee consisting of
members of the various user agencies that will utilize the system. The fleetmapping
committee will be the primary point of contact with Motorola during the
fleetmapping process and will provide all customer inputs and approve all final
programming decisions. The fleetmapping committee is also responsible for
reviewing current radio standard operational policies, and then determining what
modifications, if any, will be required to accommodate operational changes needed to
fully utilize the new digital ASTRO25 system. It is recommended, as a best practice,
that the County’s committee create a “Console Dispatch and Subscriber Unit
Programming Policy” to discuss and determine how each group of subscribers will
operate on the system and which purchased subscriber features should be activated.
This committee should be responsible for setting standardized system management
and operational policies (SOP) that will apply to all end users. Examples of elements
to be included in the SOP are:

♦ Which users can access the system


♦ Who will have rights to modify the radio database
♦ What neighboring jurisdictions have rights to utilize the system
♦ What subscriber features are available to which users
♦ What are the procedures if a subscriber unit is lost or stolen

Motorola will work with the County after contract award to develop the fleetmap for
the system and participating agencies. Motorola will provide a System Engineer to
work with the County’s fleetmapping committee representing the user groups.

Systems Integration Statement of Work 9.1-11


Motorola’s Engineer will provide detailed consultative advice on the features and
functionality of the mobiles, portables, and consoles purchased by the County. This
step requires careful planning between Motorola and the County’s committee
representing the end users. Motorola will conduct meetings with this committee to
define the fleetmapping process, discuss effective organization of talkgroups and
detail how to set up the system/radio parameters. It is important to stress that
console/subscriber unit programming decisions are the responsibility of the County’s
fleetmapping committee in its entirety.
Based on the final system fleetmap, the configurations for the consoles (talkgroups by
operator position, conventional and auxiliary interfaces) and logging talkgroups will
be developed by Motorola for programming into the fixed equipment. All
infrastructure equipment, mobiles, portables, terminals, and any other radio fixed
network equipment in the system will be programmed based on County-approved and
signed fleetmap and programming templates.
Motorola will create and enter all database record entries into the system based on the
County’s final approval. Final radio codeplug quantities and fleetmapping services
will be determined based on the subscriber unit configurations purchased by the
County.

9.1.3.4 Ordering and Manufacturing


After the kickoff meeting, Motorola will process the orders for equipment and begin
equipment manufacturing. The manufacturing facilities will test each subsystem from
its base kit or module level up to the complete subsystem. In addition to the
individual tests applied to all units shipped, Motorola’s Product Quality Engineering
Department will perform additional tests on periodic samples.

9.1.3.5 Site Construction and Development


During the manufacturing and staging process, the field site preparation will be
underway so that the sites will be ready for installation when the equipment is
shipped from Motorola’s staging facility. Motorola’s Project Installation Supervisor
will review each site, make assessments for the scheduling of required work, and
ensure that the sites are ready for installation according to the project schedule.
Motorola will be responsible for obtaining the required local building permits for
work provided in this proposal. Motorola requests Floyd County’s assistance in
securing permits. Permits required for work other than provided in Motorola’s
proposal and/or work being performed at sites by Floyd County will be the County’s
responsibility.

Floyd County will be responsible for all zoning issues, including but not limited to,
permits, variances, waivers, easements, right of way clearances, FAA clearances,
EPA/DEP requirements, or any other requirements of local, State, or Federal
regulations with regard to the permission to develop these sites.
Motorola will begin work with mutual agreement by Floyd County and Motorola that
the sites are deemed ready and released by Floyd County according to the Project
Schedule. At a minimum, Site Ready will consist of adequate room in an existing
building or shelter to accommodate the equipment to be installed with electrical
service and internal distribution in place.
For all proposed site locations, Floyd County will be responsible for paying all usage
costs of power, generator fueling, telephone lines, and microwave both during the
construction/installation effort and on an ongoing basis. Motorola will fill the new LP

Please refer to Section 9.2 (Site Development SOW) for a detailed description of the
site development work that Motorola has included in this proposal to meet the
County’s specifications.

Site Access
Floyd County shall provide free and open access to all Floyd County-owned or leased
sites for work as defined in this proposal. Access must be available 24-hours a day
during the course of this project. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
♦ Provide escort at no charge if escorts are required at any particular site. The
availability of such escorts shall not be unreasonably withheld.
♦ Arrange site permission and provide keys to all the locks at sites.
♦ Issue temporary identification cards to Motorola personnel and its subcontractors,
if required, for access to Floyd County facilities.

9.1.3.6 Systems Factory Staging


Motorola is one of the world leaders in developing and implementing large-scale
communications systems. As part of our commitment to quality, we propose the
staging of equipment before shipment. Motorola achieves its high levels of customer
satisfaction by assembling and testing every communications system sold to stringent
quality and functional performance tests prior to the system shipping.
Motorola will provide factory staging at Motorola’s Customer Center for Solutions
integration (CCSi) for ASTRO25 trunking and console equipment and a
representative sampling of subscriber units, if purchased, included in this proposal.
This staging is the same activity that Floyd County representatives attended in
December of 2008 for the Tennessee Valley / Northwest Georgia Regional System.

Motorola will assemble the system hardware at our factory staging facilities. Physical
set up and location of hardware will comply with the County’s approved equipment
layout plans. All cables will be cut and labeled with to/from information to clarify
interconnection for field installation. Cables will be cut to fit the room layout plan
specifications. All provided equipment cables will be connectorized and tested.
After assembling the equipment, Motorola’s staging technicians will power up the
equipment, load software, set levels, and optimize the equipment. System parameters
will be set according to inputs from the field team. System software and system
features will be tested and validated. All system levels will be set according to
specifications to verify proper end-to-end connectivity. These settings will be
recorded and documented to provide baseline information to the field integration
team. Once the system or subsystem has been assembled, optimized, and integrated
as a complete working unit, the system will be tested according to the staging
acceptance test procedures.
Motorola will coordinate with the County for a visit to Motorola’s CCSi in
Schaumburg, Illinois to witness the system testing. This visit will provide the County
with the opportunity to see the equipment assembled and working as an integrated
system. Most functionality and features of the communication system that are capable
of operation in a factory environment will be tested and verified for the County. The
passing of acceptance testing will be the determination that the equipment is ready to
be shipped to the field.
Factory staging allows systems to go through an exercising period before leaving the
staging area. This allows testing of components or boards for proper operation as a
complete system before shipping to their final destination. At completion of system
staging Factory Acceptance Test Procedures (FATP), Motorola will inventory the
equipment and update the inventory database with this information to assist in
tracking upon delivery to the field.
The County will be responsible for all travel, lodging, meals, and incidental costs for
County personnel and representatives to witness the Factory Acceptance Testing
during system staging.

9.1.3.7 Delivery to the Field and Inventory


All equipment will be delivered to Motorola subcontractor locations for inventory
and storage, as needed, and then to County sites for field installation. Access to
County sites by Motorola and its subcontractor personnel will be arranged by the
County prior to the delivery dates.
The County shall, upon notification of equipment delivery by Motorola, provide
personnel to catalog all received goods and attach property tags (if required).

manner, employing a standard of workmanship consistent with Motorola’s own R-56
installation standards and in compliance with applicable National Electrical Code
(NEC), EIA, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and FCC standards and
regulations.
For installation of the fixed equipment at the various sites, Motorola will furnish all
cables for power, audio, control, and radio transmission to connect the Motorola-
supplied equipment to the power panels or receptacles and the audio/control line
connection point. All cabling will be properly connected and terminated based upon
Motorola’s installation quality standards and clearly labeled at both ends. All
associated punch block connections will also be properly labeled. All cabling and
punch block connections will be recorded into the final system as-built
documentation. All cabling associated with computer equipment will be shielded and
grounded based upon the manufacturer’s specifications. Cables for computer
terminals will provide a minimum of five feet of slack to allow for slight adjustments
in positioning of the equipment (if requested). All additional cabling will be neatly
coiled and secured with cable ties.
All Motorola-provided equipment will be properly grounded to the site’s grounding
system. All cabinets, racks, enclosures, telephone circuit surge protectors, and
transmission line surge protectors provided by Motorola will be connected to the
single point ground plate. Ground connections will be connected using approved split
bolt or clamp connections. All painted surfaces where ground connections will be
made will be scraped and dissimilar metal connections treated with an anti-oxidant
compound.
To minimize interference, all cabling will be grouped by category and run separately.
Cable categories will consist of control cabling (power, data), RF, and ground. All
cables will be run and secured neatly in cable tray, under elevated flooring, conduit,
or by other appropriate means. Any cuts in computer flooring will be dressed with a
protective grommet to avoid sharp edges. All sawdust and metal shavings will be
vacuumed from beneath the computer flooring. Entry holes placed in cabinets will
have grommets installed to protect the cables from damage. Any wiring connections
terminating at punch blocks will utilize appropriate bridging clips for cross
connections.
Motorola will follow R-56 installation practices in the assembly and installation of all
antenna systems. Motorola will utilize appropriate connectors and assemble the
cables according to the manufacturer’s specifications. All transmission lines will be
run and installed without exceeding the manufacturer’s specified bending radius.

Motorola has performed preliminary paper path studies to determine the initial
microwave design. To verify the suitability of the proposed microwave paths,
Motorola will conduct, with its microwave subcontractor, a path survey analysis and
will generate a Microwave Path Survey Report including path calculations and
profiles. The path survey will confirm the exact geographical location of sites, the
heights of the towers, and the waveguide length requirements as well as the actual
antenna height requirements by identifying obstructions and reflections.
Motorola will present the path survey report to Floyd County for approval, and will
assist the County with frequency coordination, FCC licensing, and FAA applications.
Should the actual field path survey reveal an obstruction to a clear path for the
microwave signal, Motorola will provide documentation detailing the obstructions
and work with the County on a design modification. It will be the County’s
responsibility to coordinate/negotiate with adjacent property owner(s), state and local
agency(s), or any other entity for the removal of the obstruction.

Assumptions:
♦ Motorola assumes that the County will be able to successfully obtain access to
each building for coverage testing and that the County will be able to obtain
permission from each building owner to install a BDA system, if deemed
necessary by the testing. Motorola is not responsible for meeting the in-building
coverage requirement in any building where access for coverage testing is not
provided or where the installation of a BDA system is not permitted.
♦ Motorola assumes that the County will be able to obtain architectural plans or
drawings for each building in which a BDA system will be installed. Motorola is
not responsible for meeting the in-building coverage requirement in any building
for which plans are not available. Motorola is also not responsible for any project
schedule delays resulting from the inability of the County to obtain building plans
or drawings and provide them to Motorola in a timely fashion. Any additional
project costs resulting from such delays can be quoted by Motorola through the
change order process.
♦ Motorola assumes that the County will be able to arrange timely site access to
each building for the design, installation, optimization and testing phases of any
BDA systems needed. Motorola is not responsible for any project schedule
delays resulting from the inability of the County to obtain site access when
required. Any additional project costs resulting from site access delays can be
quoted by Motorola through the change order process.
♦ Motorola assumes that adequate installation space and power will be available in
the areas of each building where the BDAs will need to be installed. Any
building modifications or electric power circuit installations/extensions are the
responsibility of the County.
♦ Motorola assumes that there are not any special installation requirements in any
of the buildings. “Special requirements” refers to any conditions for installation
the building owner may require that are not required by local building codes.
Motorola can quote these installation services on an as-needed per building basis,
through the change order process.
♦ In the event that cable installations are required between floors in a building or
between buildings, Motorola assumes that cores, penetrations or conduits are
already in place and have adequate space available for any required cabling.
Should any of these be needed to effect installation of cabling, Motorola can
quote these services through the change order process.

♦ Motorola assumes that ongoing site access arrangements will be made during the
service and warranty phase of the project, that valid contact information will be
provided to Motorola initially and that any changes to contact information or site
access procedures will be communicated to Motorola in a timely fashion.
Motorola is not responsible for any delays in incident response time or equipment
repair resulting from the inability of Motorola to gain site access as needed.

Subscriber Programming
Motorola will program the quantities of subscriber units as agreed upon in the
Contract. Subscribers will be programmed one-time only based upon programming
templates that have been approved by Floyd County prior to beginning any
programming tasks. Programming of all subscribers will be defined as loading a
County-provided radio codeplug (personality file) into each device. The codeplug
files will be owned and maintained by the County. Motorola’s System Engineer will
assist the County with initial codeplug development during the fleetmapping process.
Additional re-programming of the subscribers will be handled through the Change
Order process due to the significant amount of labor required to re-program the units.
To identify errors in the templates, Motorola’s System Engineer will program test
radios and activate them on the system. The County’s Project Manager shall be
responsible for testing and verifying each feature selected as well as providing
acceptance sign-off of the final templates for all subscriber units. Sign-off of the
final template must be received within 10 business days of submission to the
County’s Project Manager for approval.
Once the determined quantities of subscribers have been programmed by Motorola,
the radios will be delivered to Floyd County for distribution to its users. Upon
delivery, Motorola will obtain an authorized signature acknowledging receipt of all
subscribers and accessories and proper operation of a sampling of subscribers.
Motorola will document all inventory adjustments as these units are distributed and
verify the information with the County’s Project Manager.

Mobile Radio and Mobile Repeater Installation


Motorola will program all mobile radio and repeater units agreed upon in the
Contract based on the pre-approved templates and test each mobile unit for proper
performance. Power, frequency, and deviation within specification will be verified. If
it is determined that any mobile unit creates or receives interference from other
electronic equipment in the vehicle, Motorola will coordinate with the County for a
satisfactory resolution.
Motorola will coordinate the installation of mobiles into the identified vehicles with
the County’s Project Manager. It is the intention of Motorola to minimize the impact
upon and the involvement of the individual vehicle operators in the selection and
approval of each installation. The mounting locations of like-type vehicles will be

prototyped and approved by the County’s Project Manager before performing
installations en masse. Motorola will work with the County to develop and approve
prototypes of each type of mobile installation.
These prototype installations will be designed to avoid interference with any
functional devices, or adversely affect the safe operation of the vehicles. Motorola
will develop an installation diagram depicting the equipment placement and cable
routing and for each approved vehicle prototype. This diagram will be provided to
each of the authorized installation subcontractors to be used as the basis of all
installations. Dependent upon vehicle configurations, certain installations will require
variations from the approved plan. For those vehicle types, Motorola will obtain
approval by the County’s Project Manager before proceeding with the installation.
This will limit confusion and control the requests of unauthorized individuals.
All mobile radio installations will take place during normal workings hours, 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The mobile radio and
repeater installations will be performed at a mutually agreeable location and time.
Scheduling and management of this operation will be performed under the guidance
of Motorola’s Project Manager. All mobile radio and repeater installation pricing is
based on a ‘standard installation.’ This proposal pricing does not include the
following:
♦ Customized installation(s).
♦ Separate visit for the removal or relocation of existing equipment in the vehicles
after the installation of new mobile unit.
♦ Any installation of vehicular accessories (i.e. light bars, shotgun release, PA
speakers, disguise consoles, etc.).
♦ Relocation of existing equipment (mobiles, sirens, flashlights, scanners, etc.).
♦ Any mounting hardware other than the hardware that is provided as a part of the
standard Motorola mounting kit.
Upon delivery of the mobile subscriber equipment, Motorola will obtain authorized
signature acknowledging receipt of all mobiles and accessories.
Specialized use vehicles such as command vehicles, fire/rescue trucks, SWAT vans
and the like may require design and fabrication of special mounting brackets and/or
cables to insure an ergonomically correct installation. The design, fabrication and
installation costs for the specialized brackets, power, antenna, or control cables
cannot be defined by Motorola at time of proposal submittal, therefore the costs for
these will be identified by Motorola and agreed upon by the County prior to
installation. The installation supervisor will inspect each specialized vehicle to
determine if any customized hardware will be necessary to complete the installation.
A list of custom hardware with estimated pricing will be submitted to the Customer
for approval before installation commences. Installation will commence only when

the County has approved any additional costs and all custom hardware becomes
available to the installation supervisor.
Power converters and/or battery splitters are assumed not to be in use. Motorola’s
installation quotation assumes constant power will be supplied at all times to the
radio to maintain user programming. Mobile equipment is quoted with a standard 12-
volt negative-ground vehicle battery system.
The County will perform the following tasks for mobile radio installations:
♦ Provide the required amount of vehicles at the start of each business day.
♦ If a vehicle cannot be released to Motorola’s installation facility, then the County
will provide a mutually agreeable location suitable for mobile installations that
has adequate working space with HVAC, lights, electric, and shelter from the
outside elements.
♦ Designate a single point of contact within the County’s project organization that
will be responsible for scheduling vehicles as required for installation.
♦ Have a representative on site during the installations to approve and accept the
installations daily.
♦ Inspect each vehicle prior to delivery to the installation facility to ensure that the
vehicle is free from trash, weapons, and contraband.
♦ Arrange for all equipment removed from the vehicles to be picked up from the
installation facility on a weekly basis.
♦ Inventory all equipment prior to removal from the installation facility; any
discrepancies shall be resolved at that time.

The County’s Project Manager will need to arrange a continuous flow of vehicles to
support the installation schedule in order to avoid any scheduling delays. It will be
the responsibility of the County or the user groups to assign a staff member to act as
the distribution coordinator of user staff and radios. As users arrive at the facility to
pick up a new mobile subscriber, the County’s staff member will review the
subscriber database and issue the correct mobile to that individual. Distribution of
mobiles not assigned at the time the programming center closes at a given location
becomes the responsibility of the user group. If the County is unable to provide the
vehicles according to the agreed upon schedule, the Motorola and the County Project
Managers will identify any additional cost or impact to the project schedule.

Motorola will provide, install, and program two ISSI.1 Gateways which will be the
interface to the Floyd P25 system. Motorola is the only vendor who can provide a
turnkey ISSI solution between the proposed Floyd County ASTRO25 system and the
Tennessee Valley Regional ASTRO25 system, by providing one gateway for the
proposed Floyd system and one gateway for the ASTRO25 Tennessee Valley system.
As an option, Motorola is also proposing connecting and configuring the proposed
Floyd ASTRO25 system as an additional zone on the Tennessee Valley ASTRO25
system. This option preserves features inherent to the ASTRO25 system and
provides additional features above the capabilities of ISSI. Please refer to the system
description for further details.
Motorola has not quoted interfaces to any other existing equipment as part of this
proposal. Motorola will work with Floyd County’s contractors in providing them the
support necessary to interface their equipment to Motorola’s new equipment.

Optional: Site-on-Wheels Installation


Motorola is proposing a deployable Pepro trailer configured to operate as an RF
repeater site. The system will be voice-only and does not include options for
Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D), console connectivity, or a customer network
interface (CNI) although the ASTRO Express site is capable of supporting these
options. The proposed deployable trailer will be used to improve local RF coverage
when deployed.
As the proposed system is a deployable system, no specific coverage guarantee can
be made regarding the performance of the system. Motorola will demonstrate to the
County that the system is able to provide the required functionality via limited PTT
key-up testing, however no specific coverage performance can be guaranteed.
The following equipment will be mounted in the equipment racks:
♦ ESS cabinet with (3) GTR8000 800MHz base stations
♦ ESS cabinet with (3) GTR8000 700MHz base stations
♦ Site controllers to provide redundancy
♦ (2) 6-port transmit combiners
♦ 700/800MHz omni-directional antennas for transmit and receive will be mounted
on the 60-foot antenna mast.

The County will be responsible for providing an adequate tow vehicle for the Pepro
trailer. Motorola estimates that a GVWR (tow rating) of 18,400 pounds will be
necessary.
The Pepro trailer included in this proposal was designed to specifically hold the
system equipment as described in this Statement of Work. If the County adds any
additional equipment, the overall weight capacity of the trailer must be maintained so
as not to exceed limitations.

9.1.4 System Training


Floyd County’s total satisfaction is directly related to the technical and operational
efficiency of the new digital ASTRO25 radio and dispatch communications system.
These efficiencies are only realized when each discipline within the County is fully
trained to properly operate the system. Motorola’s Learning Services (MLS) group
will be responsible for the technical training for the County’s personnel. Motorola
will provide training programs that are specifically designed to meet the particular
needs of the County and its system. Courses will cover end user, dispatch operations,
and technical and system manager training.
Motorola will conduct training classes on-site in Floyd County unless a more
appropriate and mutually agreed upon location is determined. In order for training to
be most effective, Motorola will utilize the actual equipment supplied for the new
system for hands-on activities, whenever possible. This allows students to learn on
the actual programs and equipment they will use after training is completed.
Motorola recommends that there be one subscriber unit available per student present
in the Subscriber training sessions. In the case of console end-user training, Motorola
recommends that there be at least one console position for every two dispatch
operators being trained. Floyd County will be responsible for identifying and
scheduling personnel that will participate in the training classes described in the
training plan.
Please refer to Section 10.0 (Training) of this response for a full description of the
training courses Motorola has identified to meet the training goals of the County.

9.1.5 System Programming and Optimization


Upon completion of the installation process, the ASTRO25 system equipment will be
powered up and then optimized by Motorola’s System Technologist under the
direction of the Project Manager and System Engineer. Motorola and its
subcontractors will optimize each subsystem individually. Audio and data levels will
be checked to verify factory settings. Radio equipment will have forward and
reflected power checked after connection to the antenna systems to verify that they
meet the FCC requirements and are within tolerances. Communication interfaces
between devices will be verified for proper operation. Features and functionality will
be tested to ensure that they are functioning according to the manufacturer’s
specifications and based upon the final configuration established during system
staging. Optimization levels and settings will be documented and included with the
as-built documentation.

9.1.6 Functional Acceptance Testing
Upon completion of the fixed-end equipment optimization, Functional Acceptance
Testing of the fixed equipment will begin based upon the Acceptance Test Plan
(ATP) agreed upon during the Contract Design Review. Motorola has included
preliminary ATPs in this proposal response for the County’s review. The ATP
specifies the standards and tests to which Motorola and its authorized subcontractors
will adhere. Motorola will conduct a Functional Acceptance Test to verify the
operational functionality and features of both the individual subsystems and of the
system as a whole. In the event that any task fails in the initial test, that particular task
will be retested when Motorola determines that corrective action has been taken. All
issues that arise during the acceptance test are to be fully documented and resolved
before the subsystem is considered ready for integration into the system. Motorola
will document the results of this acceptance test and these results will be available for
review by Floyd County.
Acceptance tests of the individual components will be conducted as part of the
system installation and optimization, and as such, have not been scheduled separately.
County representatives are welcome to be present during the testing period to witness
each of the tests. These tests include individual equipment specifications such as
receiver sensitivity and RF transmitter power and will be performed as agreed upon.
Documentation of component tests will be made available for the County as part of
the final documentation package.

9.1.6.1 Interference
Motorola will work with Floyd County to identify any mutual radio interference
between the new ASTRO25 radio system and any other existing radio systems.
Motorola is not responsible for issues outside of its immediate control. Such issues
include, but are not restricted to, improper frequency coordination by others and non-
compliant operation of other radios.
Motorola is not responsible for co-channel interference due to errors in frequency
coordination by APCO or any other unlisted frequencies or the improper design,
installation, or operation of systems installed or operated by others. Motorola is not
responsible for the costs associated with site changes and/or delays; including, but not
limited to, re-engineering, frequency re-licensing, site zoning, site permitting,
schedule delays, site abnormalities, re-mobilization, etc. due to a site being unusable
for any frequency issues outside of Motorola’s control.

Mr. Mark Hollomon


Motorola, Inc.
1700 Belle Meade Court
Lawrenceville, GA 30043

Subject: Report of Limited Tower Evaluation


Site Name: Floyd County-Shannon
Site Location: Fire Tower Road, Rome, GA
MACTEC Project No. 6143-10-0383

Dear Mr. Hollomo n:

MACTEC was asked to perform a structural evaluation of an existing tower located on Fire
Tower Road in Rome, Floyd County Georgia. The tower is an existing AT&T tower and was
initially scheduled to be 100 feet tall. MACTEC was asked to structurally evaluate the tower to
determine feasibility of a 200 foot extension i.e. a modification that would make the final tower
300 feet tall.

The current IBC building code references the TIA/EIA structural code for steel towers which
requires that the tower be designed to support a 70 mph fastest mile wind speed for Floyd
County Georgia. The 2009 IBC which is expected to be adopted by the state in 2012 would
require that the tower be designed for a 90 mph 3-second gust wind speed.

The code additionally requires that public safety towers be designed with an additional
importance factor of 1.5, i.e. it recommends that the suggested wind speeds be increased by 15%.
Motorola has requested that the tower be checked for a 120 mph sustained wind speed which
converts to a 140 mph 3-second gust wind speed.

It should be mentioned that the design forces on a tower due to the wind are directly proportional
to the square of the wind velocity or speed. Therefore, an additional factor of safety of 2.42
which compounds the aforementioned 15% increase, is ensued when evaluating for a 140 mph
wind speed (support calculation: (1402/902) x 100 = 242%).

MACTEC was tasked with mapping the tower to determine the tower dimensions and member
sizes. A copy of the tower mapping report is included in this document. The tower mapping
report indicates that the existing structure is 75 feet tall rather than the anticipated 100 feet. For
the analysis MACTEC assumed that the tower legs were 50ksi steel and other tower members
were A36 steel. MACTEC used RISA Tower (Version 5.4.2.0), a commercially available software

program, to evaluate the tower. MACTEC modeled the existing 75 foot tower with an additional
200 foot extension.

Using the software referenced above, MACTEC tried to evaluate the capacity of the tower to
support a 70 mph fastest mile wind speed, a 90 mph 3-second gust wind speed and a 140 mph 3-
second gust wind speed.

To rationalize the results realized, MACTEC will briefly explain the software’s iterative p-delta
analysis process. The first pass of the analysis applies the wind force to the tower and calculates
the deflection along its height. The weight of the tower and other vertical superimposed loads are
then applied to the structure in its deflected state. This is done to account for the additional
stresses caused by the gravity loads being non-concentric to the tower axis i.e. the so called p-
delta stresses. The structural program repeats this process to account for additional stresses until
the deflection between the predecessor and successor analyses runs are within 1% of each other.
At that point, the analysis is said to be complete.

The tower with the 200 foot extension was first evaluated using the 70 mph fastest mile wind
speed. No additional loads were placed on the tower. This run indicated that for a 70 mph fastest
mile wind speed the tower rating would be 127.20% of its design capacity i.e. the structure
would be 27.20% overstressed. Another attempt was made to analyze the tower under a 90 mph
and a 140 mph 3-second gust wind speed. When the tower was subjected to both of the
aforementioned wind speeds, the tower continued deflection without convergence. This
behavior indicates that the tower mast is not capable of carrying these wind forces. A copy of
the tower mapping and computer analysis for the 70 mph wind speed is included in the report.

Tower Loading:
The tower was evaluated in an unloaded state i.e. the analysis model attached does not account for the
existence of any existing or proposed antennae, microwave dishes, coax, mounting equipment and the
like.

Tower Summary:
The results obtained from RISA Tower (Version 5.4.2.0), and our review of those results indicates that
the existing tower structure CANNOT be adequately retrofitted to support a tower height extension
of 200ft under a 70 mph wind speed.

Foundation Summary:
No foundation information was available for the existing. However due to the fact that the tower
superstructure is not capable for being retrofitted to carry the recommended design wind load, MACTEC
concludes that the foundation would also be inadequate.

9.3 System Migration and Cutover Plan
9.3.1 Overview
In order to transition from the County’s and City’s existing analog conventional
channels to the proposed ASTRO 25 digital Trunking system, the County and
Motorola will need to develop a system migration and cutover plan. This plan, when
executed precisely, will allow the County and City users to transition as smoothly as
possible and without interruption onto the new system.
It is not the purpose of this document to present a final plan, but rather to identify the
key components that will be transitioned; to highlight the challenges associated with
those transitions, and to present recommended directions and solutions for each.
The final detailed plan will be developed as a joint collaboration between Motorola,
Floyd County’s technical team, and the individual system users or their
representatives.

9.3.2 Subscribers
Most of Floyd County’s existing subscribers are not upgradeable to the new P25
standard. In order to operate on the new ASTRO25 system, new subscribers will be
required. Therefore, the subscriber transition to the new Trunking system will
require significant coordination between Floyd County, Motorola, and Coosa Valley
Communications. When considering how to transition the County’s subscribers from
the current system to the proposed system, three issues are of primary importance:
♦ Developing a system Fleetmap for the subscriber radios
♦ Programming and distributing portables or installing mobile radios
♦ Maintaining seamless operations for the County and City public safety personnel
while user groups are transitioned to the ASTRO25 system.

9.3.3 Designing an Effective Fleetmap and Flexible Talkgroup


Structure
The development of a Fleetmap requires involvement of all potential users groups
and therefore takes a significant amount of time. Please review the Statement of
Work which outlines the steps required to complete Fleetmap planning. A good
Fleetmap will allow the flexibility of user groups to communicate during the system
transition. The transition from a conventional system to a Trunking system with a
well planned Fleetmap can be quite simple.

RFP# 101216
December 16, 2010

System Migration and Cutover Plan 9.3-1


9.3.4 Programming and Distributing Radios
The best approach for cutover is to provide an entire shift of a particular user group
new radios and have them all start their shift using the new radio system. While
portable radios can be programmed ahead of time and distributed quickly at the start
of a shift, mobile radios require install and must be completed ahead of time.

9.3.5 Maintaining Operations During Cutover


Once all user groups have been identified, it will be necessary for the project team to
choose the group migration order, set a transition schedule, and create the detailed
procedure for each group transition. Motorola will do the bulk of the work for this
process but will require regular meetings with County technical authorities to refine
and approve each step.
The largest challenge will be to maintain communications across multiple agencies
during this time. The simplest option is to keep the old radios on-hand until the
cutover is complete.

9.3.6 Dispatch
It is proposed that the new MCC7500 dispatch consoles will be installed in parallel
with the existing operator positions. The MCC7500s will have the ability to control
any existing VHF/UHF radios via 4-wire tone remote control. The MCC7500
consoles will all have direct access to the ASTRO 25 trunking talkgroups; therefore,
they will follow the transition of the subscriber units.
Since the consoles will operate side by side during the transition, all information will
be available—but during the transition the operators will need to use both the existing
consoles and the new MCC7500 consoles to access all information coming from both
systems.
Because operating two consoles in parallel is awkward, at best, the County and
Motorola will collaborate on a plan to minimize the time doing so by any individual
operator. This will require a detailed understanding of each operator’s responsibilities
and how those responsibilities are affected by the transitioning of the various
subscriber groups. If existing console control stations are capable of tone remote
control, the control stations can be moved to the new consoles to allow dispatch to
utilize the new console to dispatch on both P25 and existing analog channels.

9.3.7 Trunking Infrastructure


Motorola’s response calls for a completely parallel implementation of the system.
This will include buildings being installed at new sites, a new equipment room to be
constructed at Shannon AT&T, and new equipment at Rocky Mtn, as well as Floyd
911 and the Floyd Back-up EOC.

9.3-2 System Migration and Cutover Plan


During the creation of this proposal it was necessary to make some assumptions
concerning the following items. These assumptions will have to be addressed as part
of the overall transition plan:
♦ Frequencies – Ten (10) frequencies must be licensed at the proposed sites, with
the proposed antennas, and at the proposed antenna heights.

9.3.8 Fire & EMS Station Alerting Conventional Infrastructure


The existing VHF Fire Paging system will be relocated from the existing Mt. Alto
tower to the proposed Mt. Alto tower after an MTR2000 repeater is decommissioned
at the old Mt Alto tower. This transition would be made possible by consolidating
and/or removing the existing users on another MTR2000 channel and relocating and
reprogramming the repeater to operate at the new Mt. Alto location. The existing
dispatch consoles will be used to alert the Fire stations until the dispatch center
console cutover is completed.
The EMS alerting system will utilize a new 800MHz analog repeater which shares
the Mt. Alto 8TAC mutual aid transmitter antenna network. This repeater can be
installed prior to cutover and EMS stations can start to be alerted via the 800MHz
repeater as soon as the radio is installed at the EMS stations. During the station
cutover the existing station wiring will need to be reused and the dispatcher will be
required to alert EMS on both the existing repeater and the new repeater, using the
console’s multi-select feature.
Existing console radio control station resources are not capable of being connected in
parallel to the existing consoles and the new MCC7500 consoles. The Fire
Paging/Alerting control station will be transitioned to the MCC7500 console during
the dispatch center cutover.

9.3.9 Floyd County Jail


Motorola’s response calls for a highly coordinated cutover and implementation of the
repeater and control station system currently in use at the Floyd County Jail. Based
on Motorola’s understanding of the Officers and employees daily operation and
interpreting the RFP and site drawing provided in the addendum, Motorola feels that
an efficient cutover can be conducted to minimize user impact. Prior to any
installation, the new 800MHz repeater will be programmed and tested for operation
with the control stations and desk-sets provided for the new Jail communications
solution. The new MIP5000 console will be staged with the system at CCSi and will
be programmed in the field, based on results of the fleetmap process.

Motorola Confidential Restricted Floyd County, Georgia


Use or disclosure of this proposal is Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network
subject to the restrictions on the title page December 16, 2010

System Migration and Cutover Plan 9.3-3


The MIP5000 console will be installed and tested with its new P25 trunking resources
prior to the cutover. After the P25 Jail repeater is installed and tested, at the start of
each shift, P25 subscribers will be distributed to the users. As the Sheriff’s Office
users are cutover to their new associated Talkgroups, the associated desk-sets and
control stations will be switched to the same P25 Talkgroups. The entire Jail cutover
should take approximately 24 to 48 hours, however the Jail cutover is dependant on
the requirements of the Sheriff’s Office cutover to the P25 Trunking system. After
users and control stations are cutover, the MIP5000 console will be the primary Jail
dispatch console and the Command Start Lite will be decommissioned at a later date
once system cutover is complete.

9.3.10 Conclusion
As shown above, a smooth (if somewhat intricate) transition from the existing to the
new system can be achieved. The details of the repurposed equipment during the
transition will pose the greatest challenge to the transition team. Motorola has the
experience necessary to overcome these and any other challenges required to be met
during this transition.

Section 10. Training
10.1 Overview
Motorola has proposed a training plan for Floyd County’s consideration that addresses
the requirements identified in the RFP. The courses, which are listed below, will
prepare the County’s personnel to manage and operate the system and provide various
levels of maintenance directly, should that be the desired direction for Floyd County
after System Warranty.
Motorola's Worldwide Learning Services (WLS) organization dedicates itself to
offering a comprehensive training plan to enable Floyd County personnel to realize
the full potential of the County’s new ASTRO 25 radio system. From sophisticated
training needs analysis to ongoing training throughout the life cycle of your system,
WLS can help ensure that the County’s investment in training today is an investment
for its future.
WLS' training methodology includes knowledgeable instructors, well-designed
courseware, lab activities, and system hardware and software integrated with detailed
system documentation. This methodology is based upon several key criteria:
♦ Course design is driven by an analysis of learner needs and focuses on how-to
rather than theory.
♦ Learning objectives are based upon what learners need to accomplish on the job
and focus on specific applications.
♦ Hands-on lab opportunities using customer-specific job aids are incorporated into
training to maximize the transfer of skills to the job and the retention/reuse of
information.
Motorola offers both train-the-trainer and end-user training. Students can attend
training at one of WLS’ training centers or instructors can come to your site. In
conjunction with or in addition to instructor-led training, WLS can provide self-
study/e-learning programs in which students follow a computer-based training module
on CD-ROM or other media.

10.2 Courses Proposed


In the process of assessing your training needs, Motorola has identified the following
course(s) that are necessary to achieve your training goals. Inserted within the matrix

Monitoring Service enables highly trained technologists located in Motorola’s
System Support Center (SSC) to routinely observe network performance and to
intervene as necessary, often before a potential problem becomes apparent even to
users. The SSC uses sets of hardware and software tools for remote monitoring,
characterization, restoration and maintenance support for the management of a
complex communications network, as well as their component parts (including base
stations, computers and internetworking components).

Floyd County, Georgia


Project 25 Digital Public Safety Radio Network

December 16, 2010

11-2 Warranty and Customer Support


When the SSC detects an event, Motorola
trained technologists acknowledge and assess
that situation, then conduct remote diagnostic
routines, and initiate an effective response. Such
responses could include, but are not limited to,
continuing to monitor the event for further
developments, attempting remote restoration, or
transferring the event information via a case for
the dispatch of a local service technician. The
technician will respond to the customer location
based on pre-determined severity levels and response times. The SSC maintains
contact with the onsite technician until your system is restored and the case closed.
The SSC will continuously track and manage case activity from open to close through
an automated case-tracking process, enabling Motorola to issue timely activity and
performance reports.

11.2.2 Security Monitoring Service

Exceeds RFP Specification


Motorola’s Security Monitoring Service is designed specifically for ASTRO® 25
public safety radio communications networks and identifies viruses worms, and other
potential security threats that will result in a security incident and impact system
availability and performance. While these threats could come from outside, they
could unintentionally come from your own employees or third party vendors who
work on your network.

Expert technologists at our Security Operations Center,


currently monitoring over 50 customer networks, as well
as 100,000 Motorola nodes. They look at the data,
identify events outside the norm, and then initiate incident
response and escalation processes. The technologists also
have direct access to Motorola’s engineers who know the
network inside and out and get involved to resolve the
more critical, higher level issues.

Your network security elements are monitored 24x7x365 (includes antivirus, firewall,
IDS, centralized logging services, etc.) for proactive detection, collection, and
analysis of security events. Our Remote Incident Team provides SLA-driven
notifications and remediation assistance with security case management, escalation as
needed, and security incident reports. Proven processes and procedures ensure
automated deployment of pre-tested antivirus and IDS updates with 24-hour
turnaround for urgent anti-virus updates.

11.2.3 Security Update Service

Exceeds RFP Specification


The Security Update Service (SUS) provides the latest releases of software security
updates. Commercial security software updates are often designed without RF
systems in mind and could cause inadvertent harm to your radio network, disrupting
mission-critical communications and putting your first responders and citizens at risk.
SUS assures that commercial anti-virus definitions, operating system software
patches, and Intrusion Detection Sensor signature files are compatible with your
ASTRO 25 network and do not interfere with network functionality.
After these patches have been pre-tested and certified by Motorola, an email
notification is sent to customers upon availability of new updates with access to a
Motorola secure extranet website that will enables customers to download the pre-
tested, certified security updates when convenient. Deploying these pre-tested
updates and patches as they become available assures preparedness against network
performance interruptions due to security vulnerability, and electronic attack.
Customers may also purchase the ability to have these pre-tested patches
automatically deployed on their system.

11.2.4 Dispatch Service

Exceeds RFP Specification


Motorola’s System Support Center (SSC) is the single point of contact for all service
issues. With Dispatch Service, one phone call to the SSC and the system response
and restoration process begins immediately. Dispatch ensures that local, trained and
qualified technicians will arrive on location within hours to diagnose and restore the
communications network. Once the issue has been addressed the SSC verifies
resolution and, with customer approval, closes the case. Activity records are also
available to provide comprehensive history of site performance, issues, and
resolutions.

11.2.5 OnSite Infrastructure Response
OnSite Infrastructure Response provides local, trained and qualified technicians who
arrive on location to diagnose and restore the communications network. Motorola
Dispatch contacts the local authorized service center in your area and dispatches a
qualified technician to the site. An automated escalation and case management
process ensures that the technician arrives and system restoration begins within the
contracted response times.

11.2.9 Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA)


The Motorola Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) complements the lifecycle of
the ASTRO 25 system by providing periodic software updates which safeguard and
enhance the operation, and extend the lifespan of the ASTRO 25 system. Due to
normal advancements in technology, individual components within the ASTRO 25
platform require periodic updates and replacement to mitigate network vulnerabilities
and address technology obsolescence.

The SMA provides system release software for Motorola and third-party
infrastructure products, radio subscriber units (optional), product programming
software as well as commercial OS patch updates. Additionally, Motorola integrates
all third-party OEM updates and pre-tests and certifies functionality and
compatibility, mitigating risk of interference to the system operation.

The SMA is included in the proposed System Warranty and includes:

♦ Minor Release (patch release) – Available on a monthly/quarterly basis via


extranet web site or optional automated push, includes security patch updates to
third-party operating system (OS) and application software as well as host-based

intrusion detection sensor (IDS) signature file updates for Motorola supplied
equipment. Updates occur monthly for Microsoft Windows and quarterly for
Oracle, Sun Microsystems and Red Hat Unix/Linux OS and IDS signature files.
♦ Major Release (system release) – Floyd County’s system will be upgraded to
the latest available system release before the end of the system warranty.

11.2.10 Subscriber Support


Motorola’s authorized service station will provide Local Radio Support that includes
operational checks of subscriber equipment to identify external or internal defects. If
a subscriber unit has an external defect, or can be restored without opening the radio
case, the unit will be restored and returned to customer. If the unit has an internal
defect, or is not serviceable without opening the radio case, then the unit will be sent
to Motorola’s Depot for factory repair where we will test and restore the unit to
factory specifications. With this service, subscribers receive higher service priority,
which results in quicker repair times.

6.1. ACCESS TO SITES. In addition to its responsibilities described elsewhere in this Agreement,
Customer will provide a designated project manager; all necessary construction and building permits,
zoning variances, licenses, and any other approvals that are necessary to develop or use the sites and
mounting locations; and access to the work sites or vehicles identified in the Technical and
Implementation Documents as reasonably requested by Motorola so that it may perform its duties in
accordance with the Performance Schedule and Statement of Work. If the Statement of Work so
indicates, Motorola may assist Customer in the local building permit process.

6.2. SITE CONDITIONS. Customer will ensure that all work sites it provides will be safe, secure, and
in compliance with all applicable industry and OSHA standards. To the extent applicable and unless the
Statement of Work states to the contrary, Customer will ensure that these work sites have adequate:
physical space; air conditioning and other environmental conditions; adequate and appropriate electrical

Motorola.CSA.FINAL.08.19.10.revision.doc 4 Motorola Contract No. 10-29146/JHJ


Digital Trunked P25 Radio System
power outlets, distribution, equipment and connections; and adequate telephone or other communication
lines (including modem access and adequate interfacing networking capabilities), all for the installation,
use and maintenance of the System. Before installing the Equipment or Software at a work site, Motorola
will inspect the work site and advise Customer of any apparent deficiencies or non-conformities with the
requirements of this Section. This Agreement is predicated upon normal soil conditions as defined by the
version of E.I.A. standard RS-222 in effect on the Effective Date.

6.3. SITE ISSUES. If a Party determines that the sites identified in the Technical and Implementation
Documents are no longer available or desired, or if subsurface, structural, adverse environmental or
latent conditions at any site differ from those indicated in the Technical and Implementation Documents,
the Parties will promptly investigate the conditions and will select replacement sites or adjust the
installation plans and specifications as necessary. If change in sites or adjustment to the installation
plans and specifications causes a change in the cost or time to perform, the Parties will equitably amend
the Contract Price, Performance Schedule, or both, by a change order.

Section 7 TRAINING

Any training to be provided by Motorola to Customer will be described in the Statement of Work.
Customer will notify Motorola immediately if a date change for a scheduled training program is required.
If Motorola incurs additional costs because Customer reschedules a training program less than thirty (30)
days before its scheduled start date, Motorola may recover these additional costs.

Section 8 SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE

8.1. COMMENCEMENT OF ACCEPTANCE TESTING. Motorola will provide to Customer at least ten
(10) days notice before the Acceptance Tests commence. System testing will occur only in accordance
with the Acceptance Test Plan.

8.2. SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE. System Acceptance will occur upon successful completion of the
Acceptance Tests. Upon System Acceptance, the Parties will memorialize this event by promptly
executing a System Acceptance Certificate. If the Acceptance Test Plan includes separate tests for
individual Subsystems or phases of the System, acceptance of the individual Subsystem or phase will
occur upon the successful completion of the Acceptance Tests for the Subsystem or phase, and the
Parties will promptly execute an acceptance certificate for the Subsystem or phase. If Customer believes
the System has failed the completed Acceptance Tests, Customer will provide to Motorola a written notice
that includes the specific details of the failure. If Customer does not provide to Motorola a failure notice
within thirty (30) days after completion of the Acceptance Tests, System Acceptance will be deemed to
have occurred as of the completion of the Acceptance Tests. Minor omissions or variances in the System
that do not materially impair the operation of the System as a whole will not postpone System Acceptance
or Subsystem acceptance, but will be corrected according to a mutually agreed schedule.

8.3. BENEFICIAL USE. Customer acknowledges that Motorola’s ability to perform its implementation
and testing responsibilities may be impeded if Customer begins using the System before System
Acceptance. Therefore, Customer will not commence Beneficial Use before System Acceptance without
Motorola’s prior written authorization, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Motorola is not
responsible for System performance deficiencies that occur during unauthorized Beneficial Use. Upon
commencement of Beneficial Use, Customer assumes responsibility for the use and operation of the
System.

8.4 FINAL PROJECT ACCEPTANCE. Final Project Acceptance will occur after System Acceptance
when all deliverables and other work have been completed. When Final Project Acceptance occurs, the
parties will promptly memorialize this final event by so indicating on the System Acceptance Certificate.

Section 9 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

9.1. SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY. Motorola represents that the System will perform in accordance
with the Specifications in all material respects. Upon System Acceptance or Beneficial Use, whichever

investigate the warranty claim. If this investigation confirms a valid warranty claim, Motorola will (at its
option and at no additional charge to Customer) repair the defective Equipment or Motorola Software,
replace it with the same or equivalent product, or refund the price of the defective Equipment or Motorola
Software. That action will be the full extent of Motorola’s liability for the warranty claim. If this
investigation indicates the warranty claim is not valid, then Motorola may invoice Customer for responding
to the claim on a time and materials basis using Motorola’s then current labor rates. Repaired or replaced
product is warranted for the balance of the original applicable warranty period. All replaced products or
parts will become the property of Motorola.

9.6. ORIGINAL END USER IS COVERED. These express limited warranties are extended by
Motorola to the original user purchasing the System for commercial, industrial, or governmental use only,
and are not assignable or transferable.

10.1. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party will be liable for its non-performance or delayed performance if
caused by a Force Majeure. A Party that becomes aware of a Force Majeure that will significantly delay
performance will notify the other Party promptly (but in no event later than fifteen days) after it discovers
the Force Majeure. If a Force Majeure occurs, the Parties will execute a change order to extend the
Performance Schedule for a time period that is reasonable under the circumstances.

10.2. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE DELAYS CAUSED BY CUSTOMER. If Customer (including its


other contractors) delays the Performance Schedule, it will make the promised payments according to the
Payment Schedule as if no delay occurred; and the Parties will execute a change order to extend the
Performance Schedule and, if requested, compensate Motorola for all reasonable charges incurred
because of the delay. Delay charges may include costs incurred by Motorola or its subcontractors for
additional freight, warehousing and handling of Equipment; extension of the warranties; travel;
suspending and re-mobilizing the work; additional engineering, project management, and standby time
calculated at then current rates; and preparing and implementing an alternative implementation plan.

Section 11 DISPUTES

The Parties will use the following procedure to address any dispute arising under this Agreement (a
“Dispute”).

11.1. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State in which the System is installed.

11.2. NEGOTIATION. Either Party may initiate the Dispute resolution procedures by sending a notice
of Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). The Parties will attempt to resolve the Dispute promptly through good
faith negotiations including 1) timely escalation of the Dispute to executives who have authority to settle
the Dispute and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for
the matter and 2) direct communication between the executives. If the Dispute has not been resolved
within ten (10) days from the Notice of Dispute, the Parties will proceed to mediation.

11.3 MEDIATION. The Parties will choose an independent mediator within thirty (30) days of a notice
to mediate from either Party (“Notice of Mediation”). Neither Party may unreasonably withhold consent to
the selection of a mediator. If the Parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, either Party may request
that American Arbitration Association nominate a mediator. Each Party will bear its own costs of
mediation, but the Parties will share the cost of the mediator equally. Each Party will participate in the
mediation in good faith and will be represented at the mediation by a business executive with authority to
settle the Dispute.

11.4. LITIGATION, VENUE and JURISDICTION. If a Dispute remains unresolved for sixty (60) days
after receipt of the Notice of Mediation, either Party may then submit the Dispute to a court of competent
jurisdiction in the state in which the System is installed. Each Party irrevocably agrees to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in such state over any claim or matter arising under or in connection
with this Agreement.

11.5. CONFIDENTIALITY. All communications pursuant to subsections 11.2 and 11.3 will be treated
as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence and any
additional confidentiality protections provided by applicable law. The use of these Dispute resolution
procedures will not be construed under the doctrines of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the
rights of either Party.

Section 12 DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

12.1 DEFAULT BY A PARTY. If either Party fails to perform a material obligation under this
Agreement, the other Party may consider the non-performing Party to be in default (unless a Force
Majeure causes the failure) and may assert a default claim by giving the non-performing Party a written
and detailed notice of default. Except for a default by Customer for failing to pay any amount when due
under this Agreement which must be cured immediately, the defaulting Party will have thirty (30) days

Motorola.CSA.FINAL.08.19.10.revision.doc 7 Motorola Contract No. 10-29146/JHJ


Digital Trunked P25 Radio System
after receipt of the notice of default to either cure the default or, if the default is not curable within thirty
(30) days, provide a written cure plan. The defaulting Party will begin implementing the cure plan
immediately after receipt of notice by the other Party that it approves the plan. If Customer is the
defaulting Party, Motorola may stop work on the project until it approves the Customer’s cure plan.

12.2. FAILURE TO CURE. If a defaulting Party fails to cure the default as provided above in Section
12.1, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the non-defaulting Party may terminate any unfulfilled portion of
this Agreement. In the event of termination for default, the defaulting Party will promptly return to the non-
defaulting Party any of its Confidential Information. If Customer is the non-defaulting Party, terminates
this Agreement as permitted by this Section, and completes the System through a third Party, Customer
may as its exclusive remedy recover from Motorola reasonable costs incurred to complete the System to
a capability not exceeding that specified in this Agreement less the unpaid portion of the Contract Price.
Customer will mitigate damages and provide Motorola with detailed invoices substantiating the charges.

Section 13 INDEMNIFICATION

13.1. GENERAL INDEMNITY BY MOTOROLA. Motorola will indemnify and hold Customer harmless
from any and all liability, expense, judgment, suit, cause of action, or demand for personal injury, death,
or direct damage to tangible property which may accrue against Customer to the extent it is caused by
the negligence of Motorola, its subcontractors, or their employees or agents, while performing their duties
under this Agreement, if Customer gives Motorola prompt, written notice of any the claim or suit.
Customer will cooperate with Motorola in its defense or settlement of the claim or suit. This section sets
forth the full extent of Motorola’s general indemnification of Customer from liabilities that are in any way
related to Motorola’s performance under this Agreement.

13.2. GENERAL INDEMNITY BY CUSTOMER. Customer will indemnify and hold Motorola harmless
from any and all liability, expense, judgment, suit, cause of action, or demand for personal injury, death,
or direct damage to tangible property which may accrue against Motorola to the extent it is caused by the
negligence of Customer, its other contractors, or their employees or agents, while performing their duties
under this Agreement, if Motorola gives Customer prompt, written notice of any the claim or suit.
Motorola will cooperate with Customer in its defense or settlement of the claim or suit. This section sets
forth the full extent of Customer’s general indemnification of Motorola from liabilities that are in any way
related to Customer’s performance under this Agreement.

13.3. PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

13.3.1. Motorola will defend at its expense any suit brought against Customer to the extent it is based on
a third-party claim alleging that the Equipment manufactured by Motorola or the Motorola Software
(“Motorola Product”) directly infringes a United States patent or copyright (“Infringement Claim”).
Motorola’s duties to defend and indemnify are conditioned upon: Customer promptly notifying Motorola in
writing of the Infringement Claim; Motorola having sole control of the defense of the suit and all
negotiations for its settlement or compromise; and Customer providing to Motorola cooperation and, if
requested by Motorola, reasonable assistance in the defense of the Infringement Claim. In addition to
Motorola’s obligation to defend, and subject to the same conditions, Motorola will pay all damages finally
awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction for an Infringement Claim or agreed to, in
writing, by Motorola in settlement of an Infringement Claim.

13.3.2. If an Infringement Claim occurs, or in Motorola's opinion is likely to occur, Motorola may at its
option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Motorola Product; (b)
replace or modify the Motorola Product so that it becomes non-infringing while providing functionally
equivalent performance; or (c) accept the return of the Motorola Product and grant Customer a credit for
the Motorola Product, less a reasonable charge for depreciation. The depreciation amount will be
calculated based upon generally accepted accounting standards.

13.3.3. Motorola will have no duty to defend or indemnify for any Infringement Claim that is based upon:
(a) the combination of the Motorola Product with any software, apparatus or device not furnished by
Motorola; (b) the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by Motorola and that is attached to

Motorola.CSA.FINAL.08.19.10.revision.doc 8 Motorola Contract No. 10-29146/JHJ


Digital Trunked P25 Radio System
or used in connection with the Motorola Product; (c) Motorola Product designed or manufactured in
accordance with Customer’s designs, specifications, guidelines or instructions, if the alleged infringement
would not have occurred without such designs, specifications, guidelines or instructions; (d) a
modification of the Motorola Product by a party other than Motorola; (e) use of the Motorola Product in a
manner for which the Motorola Product was not designed or that is inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement; or (f) the failure by Customer to install an enhancement release to the Motorola Software that
is intended to correct the claimed infringement. In no event will Motorola’s liability resulting from its
indemnity obligation to Customer extend in any way to royalties payable on a per use basis or the
Customer’s revenues, or any royalty basis other than a reasonable royalty based upon revenue derived
by Motorola from Customer from sales or license of the infringing Motorola Product.

13.3.4. This Section 13 provides Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies and Motorola’s entire liability in
the event of an Infringement Claim. Customer has no right to recover and Motorola has no obligation to
provide any other or further remedies, whether under another provision of this Agreement or any other
legal theory or principle, in connection with an Infringement Claim. In addition, the rights and remedies
provided in this Section 13 are subject to and limited by the restrictions set forth in Section 14.

Section 14 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Except for personal injury or death, Motorola's total liability, whether for breach of contract, warranty,
negligence, strict liability in tort, indemnification, or otherwise, will be limited to the direct damages
recoverable under law, but not to exceed the price of the Equipment, Software, or services with respect to
which losses or damages are claimed. ALTHOUGH THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES, THEY AGREE THAT MOTOROLA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
COMMERCIAL LOSS; INCONVENIENCE; LOSS OF USE, TIME, DATA, GOOD WILL, REVENUES,
PROFITS OR SAVINGS; OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE SALE OR USE
OF THE EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES BY MOTOROLA
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. This limitation of liability provision survives the expiration or
termination of the Agreement and applies notwithstanding any contrary provision. No action for contract
breach or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be brought more
than one (1) year after the accrual of the cause of action, except for money due upon an open account.

Section 15 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

15.1. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the term of this Agreement, the parties may provide
each other with Confidential Information. Each Party will: maintain the confidentiality of the other Party’s
Confidential Information and not disclose it to any third party, except as authorized by the disclosing Party
in writing or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction; restrict disclosure of the Confidential
Information to its employees who have a “need to know” and not copy or reproduce the Confidential
Information; take necessary and appropriate precautions to guard the confidentiality of the Confidential
Information, including informing its employees who handle the Confidential Information that it is
confidential and is not to be disclosed to others, but these precautions will be at least the same degree of
care that the receiving Party applies to its own confidential information and will not be less than
reasonable care; and use the Confidential Information only in furtherance of the performance of this
Agreement. Confidential Information is and will at all times remain the property of the disclosing Party,
and no grant of any proprietary rights in the Confidential Information is given or intended, including any
express or implied license, other than the limited right of the recipient to use the Confidential Information
in the manner and to the extent permitted by this Agreement.

15.2. PRESERVATION OF MOTOROLA’S PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Motorola, the third party


manufacturer of any Equipment, and the copyright owner of any Non-Motorola Software own and retain
all of their respective Proprietary Rights in the Equipment and Software, and nothing in this Agreement is
intended to restrict their Proprietary Rights. All intellectual property developed, originated, or prepared by
Motorola in connection with providing to Customer the Equipment, Software, or related services remain
vested exclusively in Motorola, and this Agreement does not grant to Customer any shared development
rights of intellectual property. Except as explicitly provided in the Software License Agreement, Motorola

Motorola.CSA.FINAL.08.19.10.revision.doc 9 Motorola Contract No. 10-29146/JHJ


Digital Trunked P25 Radio System
does not grant to Customer, either directly or by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any right, title or
interest in Motorola’s Proprietary Rights. Customer will not modify, disassemble, peel components,
decompile, otherwise reverse engineer or attempt to reverse engineer, derive source code or create
derivative works from, adapt, translate, merge with other software, reproduce, distribute, sublicense, sell
or export the Software, or permit or encourage any third party to do so. The preceding sentence does not
apply to Open Source Software which is governed by the standard license of the copyright owner.

Section 16 GENERAL

16.1. TAXES. The Contract Price does not include any excise, sales, lease, use, property, or other
taxes, assessments or duties, all of which will be paid by Customer except as exempt by law. If Motorola
is required to pay any of these taxes, Motorola will send an invoice to Customer and Customer will pay to
Motorola the amount of the taxes (including any interest and penalties) within twenty (20) days after the
date of the invoice. Customer will be solely responsible for reporting the Equipment for personal property
tax purposes, and Motorola will be solely responsible for reporting taxes on its income or net worth.

16.2. ASSIGNABILITY AND SUBCONTRACTING. Except as provided herein, neither Party may
assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment, delegation, or
transfer without the necessary consent will be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Motorola may assign
this Agreement to any of its affiliates or its right to receive payment without the prior consent of Customer.
In addition, in the event Motorola separates one or more of its businesses (each a “Separated Business”),
whether by way of a sale, establishment of a joint venture, spin-off or otherwise (each a “Separation
Event”), Motorola may, without the prior written consent of the other Party and at no additional cost to
Motorola, assign this Agreement such that it will continue to benefit the Separated Business and its
affiliates (and Motorola and its affiliates, to the extent applicable) following the Separation Event.
Motorola may subcontract any of the work, but subcontracting will not relieve Motorola of its duties under
this Agreement.

16.3 WAIVER. Failure or delay by either Party to exercise a right or power under this Agreement will
not be a waiver of the right or power. For a waiver of a right or power to be effective, it must be in a
writing signed by the waiving Party. An effective waiver of a right or power will not be construed as either
a future or continuing waiver of that same right or power, or the waiver of any other right or power.

16.4. SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction renders any part of this Agreement invalid or
unenforceable, that part will be severed and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and
effect.

16.5. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Each Party will perform its duties under this Agreement as an
independent contractor. The Parties and their personnel will not be considered to be employees or
agents of the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted as granting either Party the right
or authority to make commitments of any kind for the other. This Agreement will not constitute, create, or
be interpreted as a joint venture, partnership or formal business organization of any kind.

16.6. HEADINGS AND SECTION REFERENCES. The section headings in this Agreement are
inserted only for convenience and are not to be construed as part of this Agreement or as a limitation of
the scope of the particular section to which the heading refers. This Agreement will be fairly interpreted in
accordance with its terms and conditions and not for or against either Party.

16.7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including all Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement
of the Parties regarding the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes all previous agreements,
proposals, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to this subject matter. This Agreement
may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by authorized representatives of both
Parties. The preprinted terms and conditions found on any Customer purchase order, acknowledgment
or other form will not be considered an amendment or modification of this Agreement, even if a
representative of each Party signs that document.

16.8. NOTICES. Notices required under this Agreement to be given by one Party to the other must be
in writing and either personally delivered or sent to the address shown below by certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid (or by a recognized courier service, such as Federal Express,
UPS, or DHL), or by facsimile with correct answerback received, and will be effective upon receipt:

16.9. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. Each Party will comply with all applicable federal,
state, and local laws, regulations and rules concerning the performance of this Agreement or use of the
System. Customer will obtain and comply with all Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses
and authorizations required for the installation, operation and use of the System before the scheduled
installation of the Equipment. Although Motorola might assist Customer in the preparation of its FCC
license applications, neither Motorola nor any of its employees is an agent or representative of Customer
in FCC or other matters.

16.10. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT. Each Party represents that it has obtained all
necessary approvals, consents and authorizations to enter into this Agreement and to perform its duties
under this Agreement; the person executing this Agreement on its behalf has the authority to do so; upon
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, it is a valid and binding contract, enforceable in
accordance with its terms; and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not
violate any bylaw, charter, regulation, law or any other governing authority of the Party.

16.11. ADMINISTRATOR LEVEL ACCOUNT ACCESS. Motorola will provide Customer with
Administrative User Credentials. Customer agrees to only grant Administrative User Credentials to those
personnel with the training or experience to correctly use the access. Customer is responsible for
protecting Administrative User Credentials from disclosure and maintaining Credential validity by, among
other things, updating passwords when required. Customer may be asked to provide valid Administrative
User Credentials when in contact with Motorola System support. Customer understands that changes
made as the Administrative User can significantly impact the performance of the System. Customer
agrees that it will be solely responsible for any negative impact on the System or its users by any such
changes. System issues occurring as a result of changes made by an Administrative User may impact
Motorola’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement or its Maintenance and Support
Agreement. In such cases, a revision to the appropriate provisions of the Agreement, including the
Statement of Work, may be necessary. To the extent Motorola provides assistance to correct any issues
caused by or arising out of the use of or failure to maintain Administrative User Credentials, Motorola will
be entitled to bill Customer and Customer will pay Motorola on a time and materials basis for resolving the
issue.

16.12. SURVIVAL OF TERMS. The following provisions will survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement for any reason: Section 3.6 (Motorola Software); Section 3.7 (Non-Motorola Software); if any
payment obligations exist, Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (Contract Price and Invoicing and Payment); Subsection
9.7 (Disclaimer of Implied Warranties); Section 11 (Disputes); Section 14 (Limitation of Liability); and
Section 15 (Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights); and all of the General provisions in Section 16.

The Parties hereby enter into this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

Exhibit A

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Exhibit A Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is between Motorola, Inc., (“Motorola"), and
Floyd County, Georgia (“Licensee”).

For good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1 DEFINITIONS

1.1 “Designated Products” means products provided by Motorola to Licensee with which or for which
the Software and Documentation is licensed for use.

1.2 “Documentation” means product and software documentation that specifies technical and
performance features and capabilities, and the user, operation and training manuals for the Software
(including all physical or electronic media upon which such information is provided).

1.3 “Open Source Software” means software with either freely obtainable source code, license for
modification, or permission for free distribution.

1.4 “Open Source Software License” means the terms or conditions under which the Open Source
Software is licensed.

1.5 “Primary Agreement” means the agreement to which this exhibit is attached.

1.6 “Security Vulnerability” means a flaw or weakness in system security procedures, design,
implementation, or internal controls that could be exercised (accidentally triggered or intentionally
exploited) and result in a security breach such that data is compromised, manipulated or stolen or the
system damaged.

1.7 “Software” (i) means proprietary software in object code format, and adaptations, translations, de-
compilations, disassemblies, emulations, or derivative works of such software; (ii) means any
modifications, enhancements, new versions and new releases of the software provided by Motorola; and
(iii) may contain one or more items of software owned by a third party supplier. The term "Software" does
not include any third party software provided under separate license or third party software not licensable
under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2 SCOPE

Motorola and Licensee enter into this Agreement in connection with Motorola's delivery of certain
proprietary Software or products containing embedded or pre-loaded proprietary Software, or both. This
Agreement contains the terms and conditions of the license Motorola is providing to Licensee, and
Licensee’s use of the Software and Documentation.

Section 3 GRANT OF LICENSE

3.1. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the payment of applicable license fees, Motorola
grants to Licensee a personal, limited, non-transferable (except as permitted in Section 7) and non-
exclusive license under Motorola’s copyrights and Confidential Information (as defined in the Primary
Agreement) embodied in the Software to use the Software, in object code form, and the Documentation
solely in connection with Licensee's use of the Designated Products. This Agreement does not grant any
rights to source code.

Motorola.CSA.FINAL.08.19.10.revision.doc 12 Motorola Contract No. 10-29146/JHJ


Digital Trunked P25 Radio System
3.2. If the Software licensed under this Agreement contains or is derived from Open Source Software,
the terms and conditions governing the use of such Open Source Software are in the Open Source
Software Licenses of the copyright owner and not this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Open Source Software Licenses
governing Licensee’s use of the Open Source Software, the terms and conditions of the license grant of
the applicable Open Source Software Licenses will take precedence over the license grants in this
Agreement. If requested by Licensee, Motorola will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) determine
whether any Open Source Software is provided under this Agreement; (ii) identify the Open Source
Software and provide Licensee a copy of the applicable Open Source Software License (or specify where
that license may be found); and, (iii) provide Licensee a copy of the Open Source Software source code,
without charge, if it is publicly available (although distribution fees may be applicable).

Section 4 LIMITATIONS ON USE

4.1. Licensee may use the Software only for Licensee's internal business purposes and only in
accordance with the Documentation. Any other use of the Software is strictly prohibited. Without limiting
the general nature of these restrictions, Licensee will not make the Software available for use by third
parties on a "time sharing," "application service provider," or "service bureau" basis or for any other
similar commercial rental or sharing arrangement.

4.2. Licensee will not, and will not allow or enable any third party to: (i) reverse engineer,
disassemble, peel components, decompile, reprogram or otherwise reduce the Software or any portion to
a human perceptible form or otherwise attempt to recreate the source code; (ii) modify, adapt, create
derivative works of, or merge the Software; (iii) copy, reproduce, distribute, lend, or lease the Software or
Documentation to any third party, grant any sublicense or other rights in the Software or Documentation
to any third party, or take any action that would cause the Software or Documentation to be placed in the
public domain; (iv) remove, or in any way alter or obscure, any copyright notice or other notice of
Motorola's proprietary rights; (v) provide, copy, transmit, disclose, divulge or make the Software or
Documentation available to, or permit the use of the Software by any third party or on any machine
except as expressly authorized by this Agreement; or (vi) use, or permit the use of, the Software in a
manner that would result in the production of a copy of the Software solely by activating a machine
containing the Software. Licensee may make one copy of Software to be used solely for archival, back-
up, or disaster recovery purposes; provided that Licensee may not operate that copy of the Software at
the same time as the original Software is being operated. Licensee may make as many copies of the
Documentation as it may reasonably require for the internal use of the Software.

4.3. Unless otherwise authorized by Motorola in writing, Licensee will not, and will not enable or allow
any third party to: (i) install a licensed copy of the Software on more than one unit of a Designated
Product; or (ii) copy onto or transfer Software installed in one unit of a Designated Product onto one other
device. Licensee may temporarily transfer Software installed on a Designated Product to another device
if the Designated Product is inoperable or malfunctioning, if Licensee provides written notice to Motorola
of the temporary transfer and identifies the device on which the Software is transferred. Temporary
transfer of the Software to another device must be discontinued when the original Designated Product is
returned to operation and the Software must be removed from the other device. Licensee must provide
prompt written notice to Motorola at the time temporary transfer is discontinued.

4.4. When using Motorola's Radio Service Software ("RSS"), Licensee must purchase a separate
license for each location at which Licensee uses RSS. Licensee's use of RSS at a licensed location does
not entitle Licensee to use or access RSS remotely. Licensee may make one copy of RSS for each
licensed location. Licensee shall provide Motorola with a list of all locations at which Licensee uses or
intends to use RSS upon Motorola’s request.

4.5. Licensee will maintain, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter,
accurate records relating to this license grant to verify compliance with this Agreement. Motorola or an
independent third party (“Auditor”) may inspect Licensee’s premises, books and records, upon reasonable
prior notice to Licensee, during Licensee’s normal business hours and subject to Licensee's facility and
security regulations. Motorola is responsible for the payment of all expenses and costs of the Auditor.

Motorola.CSA.FINAL.08.19.10.revision.doc 13 Motorola Contract No. 10-29146/JHJ


Digital Trunked P25 Radio System
Any information obtained by Motorola and the Auditor will be kept in strict confidence by Motorola and the
Auditor and used solely for the purpose of verifying Licensee's compliance with the terms of this
Agreement.

Section 5 OWNERSHIP AND TITLE

Motorola, its licensors, and its suppliers retain all of their proprietary rights in any form in and to the
Software and Documentation, including, but not limited to, all rights in patents, patent applications,
inventions, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, trade names, and other proprietary rights in or relating
to the Software and Documentation (including any corrections, bug fixes, enhancements, updates,
modifications, adaptations, translations, de-compilations, disassemblies, emulations to or derivative works
from the Software or Documentation, whether made by Motorola or another party, or any improvements
that result from Motorola’s processes or, provision of information services). No rights are granted to
Licensee under this Agreement by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except for those rights which are
expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement. All intellectual property developed, originated, or
prepared by Motorola in connection with providing the Software, Designated Products, Documentation or
related services, remains vested exclusively in Motorola, and Licensee will not have any shared
development or other intellectual property rights.

Section 6 LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

6.1. The commencement date and the term of the Software warranty will be a period of ninety (90)
days from Motorola's shipment of the Software (the "Warranty Period"). If Licensee is not in breach of
any of its obligations under this Agreement, Motorola warrants that the unmodified Software, when used
properly and in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement, will be free from a reproducible
defect that eliminates the functionality or successful operation of a feature critical to the primary
functionality or successful operation of the Software. Whether a defect occurs will be determined by
Motorola solely with reference to the Documentation. Motorola does not warrant that Licensee’s use of
the Software or the Designated Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely free of Security
Vulnerabilities, or that the Software or the Designated Products will meet Licensee’s particular
requirements. Motorola makes no representations or warranties with respect to any third party software
included in the Software.

6.2 Motorola’s sole obligation to Licensee and Licensee’s exclusive remedy under this warranty is to
use reasonable efforts to remedy any material Software defect covered by this warranty. These efforts
will involve either replacing the media or attempting to correct significant, demonstrable program or
documentation errors or Security Vulnerabilities. If Motorola cannot correct the defect within a reasonable
time, then at Motorola’s option, Motorola will replace the defective Software with functionally-equivalent
Software, license to Licensee substitute Software which will accomplish the same objective, or terminate
the license and refund the Licensee’s paid license fee.

6.3. Warranty claims are described in the Primary Agreement.

6.4. The express warranties set forth in this Section 6 are in lieu of, and Motorola disclaims, any and
all other warranties (express or implied, oral or written) with respect to the Software or Documentation,
including, without limitation, any and all implied warranties of condition, title, non-infringement,
merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose or use by Licensee (whether or not Motorola knows,
has reason to know, has been advised, or is otherwise aware of any such purpose or use), whether
arising by law, by reason of custom or usage of trade, or by course of dealing. In addition, Motorola
disclaims any warranty to any person other than Licensee with respect to the Software or Documentation.

Section 7 TRANSFERS

Licensee will not transfer the Software or Documentation to any third party without Motorola's prior written
consent. Motorola’s consent may be withheld at its discretion and may be conditioned upon transferee
paying all applicable license fees and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. If the Designated
Products are Motorola's radio products and Licensee transfers ownership of the Motorola radio products

Motorola.CSA.FINAL.08.19.10.revision.doc 14 Motorola Contract No. 10-29146/JHJ


Digital Trunked P25 Radio System
to a third party, Licensee may assign its right to use the Software (other than RSS and Motorola's
FLASHport® software) which is embedded in or furnished for use with the radio products and the related
Documentation; provided that Licensee transfers all copies of the Software and Documentation to the
transferee, and Licensee and the transferee sign a transfer form to be provided by Motorola upon
request, obligating the transferee to be bound by this Agreement.

Section 8 TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1 Licensee’s right to use the Software and Documentation will begin when the Primary Agreement
is signed by both parties and will continue for the life of the Designated Products with which or for which
the Software and Documentation have been provided by Motorola, unless Licensee breaches this
Agreement, in which case this Agreement and Licensee's right to use the Software and Documentation
may be terminated immediately upon notice by Motorola.

8.2 Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement, Licensee must certify in writing to
Motorola that all copies of the Software have been removed or deleted from the Designated Products and
that all copies of the Software and Documentation have been returned to Motorola or destroyed by
Licensee and are no longer in use by Licensee.

Amplifier (TTA) system is a high performance, two channel quadrature-coupled
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) designed to increase the performance of a Base
Transceiver Station (BTS) while ensuring reliable communications for critical
Public Safety applications. This increase in sensitivity can make up for the
imbalance between mobile and handheld users in critical systems and im-
prove marginal in-building penetration. The signal paths of the two channels
are carefully matched to maximize the aperture gain of a dual diversity
radio system.

The TTA consists of two components: the Tower-Top Amplifier mounted


close to the antenna and the Two Channel Control Unit. The CMU is specifi-
cally designed to interface directly with one or two GTR8000 receive net-
works. Each of the LNA’s within the TTA are of quadrature design with
separate bias circuits for maximum redundancy and superior intermodula-
tion (IM) performance. LNA current monitoring of each amplifier is per-
formed in the Control Unit to assess the health of the TTA system. Relay dry
contact closure alarms are generated in the rare occurrence of a fault. An

performance of a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) while ensuring reliable
communications for critical Public Safety applications. This increase in
sensitivity can make up for the imbalance between mobile and handheld
users in critical systems and improve marginal in-building penetration.
The signal paths of the two channels are carefully matched to maximize
the aperture gain of a dual diversity radio system.

The TTA consists of two components: the Tower-Top Amplifier mounted


close to the antenna and the receiver Multicoupler Control Unit. The MCU
is designed to interface directly to 16 individual receivers operating in
dual diversity mode or single mode. Each of the LNA’s within the TTA are
of quadrature design with separate bias circuits for maximum redun-
dancy and superior intermodulation (IM) performance. LNA current moni-
toring of each amplifier is performed in the Control Unit to assess the
health of the TTA system. Relay dry contact closure alarms are generated FEATURES

(VRLA) batteries has been designed specifically for use in applications that BATTERY
demand the highest levels of quality and reliability, now with optional top RANGE SUMMARY
termination on many V series models. With proven compliance to the most
rigorous international standards, PowerSafe V batteries are recognized
worldwide as the premium battery for Telecom applications. The PowerSafe V
battery’s reputation for long service life, together with excellent high rate
performance, also makes it ideal for high integrity, utility-industry switch gear
applications.

PowerSafe V batteries deliver superior performance while occupying less space


than conventional standby power batteries. The PowerSafe V Front Terminal
battery's compact design, suitable for 19 inch, 23 inch and ETSI (European
Telecommunications Standards Institute) racking, provides users with the benefit
of increased energy density. With electrical connections at the front or on top on
many models, installation and inspection are safer, quicker and easier.

PowerSafe V batteries are designed using proven gas recombination VRLA


technology, which removes the need for regular water addition by controlling the
evolution of hydrogen and oxygen during charging. Each cell incorporates its
own safety valve that allows automatically the controlled release of small
amounts of gas when pressure builds up within the cell.

The use of gas recombination technology for lead acid batteries has totally
changed the concept of standby power. This technology provides the user with
the freedom to use lead acid batteries in a wide range of applications. NCR48-V-170-4 NCR24-V-170-5-B

FORMULA
SYSTEM HEIGHT = (ROW HEIGHT x # OF CELL HIGH) + 9.0”
SYSTEM LENGTH = STACK LENGTH x # OF STACKS
SYSTEM WEIGHT = CELL WEIGHT x # OF CELLS

ACTUAL EXAMPLE: 24-DDm85-21, HEIGHT

4 cells wide per stack x 6 cells high per stack

SYSTEM HEIGHT = (8.63” x 6) + 9.0” = 60.78”


SYSTEM LENGTH = 37.15” x 1 = 37.15”

Publication No. US-DDm-RS-003 January 2005


SYSTEM WEIGHT = 159.0 lbs. x 24 = 3816.0 lbs.

ADDITIONAL EXAMPLE: 240-DDm125-25,


4 cells wide per stack x 6 cells high per stack

SYSTEM HEIGHT = (11.00” x 6) + 9.0” = 75.00”


SYSTEM LENGTH = 44.37” x 10 = 443.70”
SYSTEM WEIGHT = 269.0 lbs x 240 = 64,560.0 lbs.

MOBEXCOM APPLICATIONS

The mode of the Digital Vehicular Repeater (DVRS) can be selected from the mobile radio control head, automatically
by an external switch (portable charger, door or brake switch etc) or remotely.
The following modes are available: OFF, SYSTEM and LOCAL (optional).
In the OFF mode the DVRS is not active and the Mobile radio operates as if there were no Vehicular Repeater present.
This mode is to be used when the vehicle is in motion and no portable radio coverage extension is required.
SYSTEM mode is used when the portable radio users are attending to a fire incident and require extended portable
radio communications (typically in-building), Call Logging and reliable communications with the System users.
LOCAL mode can be programmed as an option for use in cases when the portable users and DVRS / Mobile radio
operators do not want to be heard by the system users or when the DVRS is deployed in an area where no system radio
coverage is available.
The communications capabilities available in each DVRS mode are summarized in the table below.
