State-wide Communications
System for Law Enforcement
and Public Safety
“Moving Ahead”
Dan Brown, Project Director
Overview: This site visit is designed to share the strategic project plan
and begin the development of a strategic implementation and operations
plan around wireless interoperability. This is an iterative process that
will take place over the course of next few months.
There are four main goals :
» Communicate the state objectives for the project.
» Define the problems of wireless interoperability with respect
to this project with respect to the users group.
» Prioritize key local issues and collect approval.
» Prepare for design and production using a
site survey tool.
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

Site Walks and Site Surveys
 Objective is to secure all information needed to complete the location
quickly and efficiently
 Location and directions
 Key contact Information
 GPS Coordinates
 Review site conditions such as available electrical, grounding, HVAC,
etc. and identify any necessary upgrades
 Review the existing equipment layouts
– Determine interface opportunities and priorities
– Determine final installation location of all MOTOBridge equipment
– Identify if the relocation of any existing equipment is necessary
 Review cable installation and required lengths
 Determine MPLS VPN network status and location of required demark
 Create summary recapping required tasks for the locals, State and
Motorola
