A simple \'Ear and Mouth\' interface is used to link the repeater assets and dispatch consoles of several Navy bases in the northeast region.

1. Capabilities Statement Radionet Communications, Inc. 2 November, 2009

2. Capabilities in Brief Tune, test and repair of Land Mobile Radio subscriber units Programming/re-programming subscriber units to work on federal systems and local/regional interoperability systems Program management experience deploying ‘gateways’ for interoperability with local/state agencies ‘outside the fence’

3. Capabilities in Brief (more) Consulting services – Project 25 updates and procurement documentation review & editing (Configuration Management) Simulation of RF coverage using ‘non-proprietary’ software tools System ‘drive testing’ and integration of test data into simulations – comparing actual system performance vs. ‘idealized’ models

4. Tune, Test and Repair Quotes obtained and resources available for an R2670B service monitor and other essential tools for ‘tune, test & repair’ of trunked and conventional Project 25-compliant subscriber units

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

6. A note about ‘Programming’ It IS NOT like ‘writing code’ in a ‘high level language’ It IS easily learned by anyone with even rudimentary computer skills But, programmers must have particular knowledge of frequencies, tones, ID’s and other characteristics ‘unique to each system’, to correctly program its subscriber units

7. Program Management Experience Navy Region Northeast Regional Interoperability System experience from initial planning, to design & deployment Obtain vendor quotes Vendor selection/acquisition/training Onsite System Integration with existing LMR assets

10. Site Visits for Planning Purposes Identify ‘Line of Demarcation’ for network connectivity Ascertain location and type of existing dispatch equipment, locations of repeaters/tower sites and frequencies/PL tones/other programming parameters Look for technology reuse opportunities!

11. Sub Base New London NOC in separate building from Dispatch Center Dispatch equipment no longer supported by vendor, complicating audio extraction But, surplus circuitry on base and unused antennae offered ‘degrees of freedom’ in the design

12. Similar work at WPNSTA Earle Similar problems, with networking equipment located remotely from dispatch center – onsite management to obtain local circuit support New tower required for wireless links to reach repeaters, also procured locally

13. Raytheon/JPS ACU-1000s selected for Interoperability equipment Quotes obtained after onsite surveys completed and requirements defined Onsite program management, and other vendor coordination performed for antennae and other infrastructure improvements

14. Detailed Designs New equipment/links shown in blue

18. Hardware and Software Configuration

19. Configuring Interoperability Equipment

20. Local Dispatcher is now ‘Regional’

21. Regional Interoperability System Computer Control

22. Regional Operations Center Connected to the same IP network as the interoperability equipment, this computer controls the network from an office at WPNSTA Earle. Similar control point at Sub Base New London and NOC in Alexandria

23. Project 25 Radionet Communications has kept track of emerging TIA standards, including the latest addition to the console or ‘fixed station’ interface: TIA-102.BAHA. This is an important development for local/state system operators requiring interoperability with federal systems built to Project 25 standards.

24. It lets you do this, now: Create interoperability links to P25 neighbors… …for very little money! ‘Remote’ P25 System

25. Documentation review and editing With over 17 years of experience with Land Mobile Radio issues, Radionet Communications is an authority you can trust. Get the best value for your federal dollars spent, by having Radionet review your documents!

26. Other Capabilities Radionet can also provide third-party software analysis of ‘promised’ coverage using open-source simulation tools (shown here: ‘Radiosoft’ ComStudy 2.2). While all ‘simulators’ are based on mathematical models, some are more ‘optimistic’ than others.

27. Integrated Drive-Test Data Radiosoft also allows for the importation of drive-test data, to compare actual field measurements with predicted performance. This is an invaluable utility for those planning wide-area coverage systems who wish to verify promised coverage.

28. Procedures and Protocols While new technology greatly enhances our ability to communicate, lacking proper procedures and protocols for use of these assets – particularly ‘interoperability’ assets - can be disastrous in a crisis situation. Working with local/state and other federal agencies to obtain the necessary memoranda of agreement and understanding is only part of the equation. Common language is important, too!

29. Radionet Communications can: tune, test, repair and program your subscriber units manage interoperability projects with local/state and other federal agencies keep you up-to-date on new Project 25 technologies, and review your documents perform simulations and drive-testing develop effective procedures and protocols for emergency communications
