Georgia Interoperability Network
Interoperable Communications
– A Definition

Interoperability is the ability of public safety
service and support providers to
communicate with each other via voice
and/or data:

On demand

In real time

When needed

When authorized
GIN Solution

Interoperable Communications System that:








Uses existing Radio Frequency infrastructure
Achieves “on demand” interoperability through
overlay additions to the current RF infrastructure: IP
network backbone, IP network components and
Mobile Communication Units
Allows interoperability between disparate radio
system technologies
Provides flexibility and scalability
Achieves functionality in most areas of state
population with fixed communications assets; in
remaining areas with mobile communication assets
Will be implemented in multiple phases
Will be completed by June 2010
Is being managed effectively by three working
groups: HSTF Communications Subcommittee,
Technical Working Group, Operations Working Group

Motorola MOTOBridge

Comprised of 4 basic components:

Operational Management Control (OMC) Server



Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) Server



Sets up calls on the system
Two redundant systems (main and backup)
Radio Gateway Unit (RGU)



Keeps track of network configuration and is used to
manage entire system
Two redundant systems (main and backup)
Connects the radio systems into the network
Resides in every jurisdiction (usually in
communications center)
Work Station Gateway Unit (WSGU)


Gives dispatcher access to the system
Resides in every jurisdiction (usually in
communications center)


1 VHF repeater
5 channel 800 MHz Trunking Capable Repeater System
(MCU #1 only)
1 Aviation Radio
2 HAM Radios
2 800 MHz Control Stations
2 VHF Control Stations
2 UHF Control Stations
1 Low Band Control Station
Cache of 25 800 MHz and 25 VHF portables

GIN Security Solution

IP Network








Uses private IP addressing
Has no public internet access
All gateway units protected with built-in firewalls
All core equipment protected with external firewalls
Dedicated equipment with applications used only for
the Georgia Interoperability Network
AES encryption of voice communications on the
MPLS network and satellite link
Signaling and control information between the SIP
and OMC servers to Gateway Units use IP-Sec
tunnels
Georgia Interoperability Network satellite traffic is
only routed to intended destination

What Project Will Not Do




Increase Radio Frequency Coverage
Increase Channel Capacity
Allow Radio of One Type to
Communicate with Transmitter of
Different Type
Eliminate Technology Obsolescence
Importance of Project




Georgia’s First State-wide Interoperable
Communications Project
Funded Mostly by Federal Grants with
Additional Local and State Investments
Local Governments and State Agencies
Involved in Design
Will Serve as a Model for Larger State-wide
