MVMTEL D.O.O. PART 1 GENERAL INFORMATION REFERENCES Trial 1 Workshop - Assessment of selected solutions by the Trial 1 Committee 26 27 February 2018, Józefów, Poland
What are the solutions main features: (A) APM-40 system allows to restore voice communication network in case of infrastructure destruction (telecom, energetic systems are down) or to establishes communications network in places where other technologies dont work (underground: tunnels, metros, garages, shelters) or in remote areas. (B) Direct beneficiaries are : first responders (fire fighters, police, medical service etc.), dispatchers of various services (fire service, emergency service, police, logistics CM, etc.), all CM stakeholders involved in Command, Control and Coordination processes. (C) Solution is addressing the problem of effective communication in cases where all other communication networks are down or in places where other technologies don't work or need extension. Crisis management without effective communication is not possible. 3

CM functions that solution answers: CM 1.1,1.2 Assess the risks: The expertise show that in many cases of disaster situations (earthquake, floods, landslides, hurricanes, slit, tsunami, nuclear plant accidents etc. the electricity grid and telecom network, including the dedicated public safety network (radio TETRA, LTE) fail.(vulnerability of telecom and energetic infrastructure). Also there are some areas not covered by existing, mostly wireless, networks (underground, remote areas). Wireless technologies are also vulnerable by overloading and jamming. All IP based networks may be brought down by cyberattacks. CM 1.3 Elaborate mitigation policy and strategy: There should be an stand-alone telecommunication system available for a back-up, which can be easily and quickly deployed on affected area to establish a communication network to support C3 and CCIM. It should be able to integrate it in existing public safety infrastructure networks (LTE, TETRA, PSTN). CM 1.5 Implement mitigation measure: Implement stand-alone telecommunication system as a back-up, which can be easily and quickly deployed on affected area to establish a communication network to support C3 and CCIM. It should be able to integrate it in existing public safety infrastructure networks (LTE, TETRA, PSTN). Solution: APM-40 system CM 2.1.2 Determine future crisis scenarios and key characteristics: characteristic of many crisis scenarios is loss of communication. Without communication the CM is hampered! 6 CM 2.1.3 Define required CM capabilities: Existing public safety network shall have a standalone back-up feature and shall be complemented to cover all threatened areas!
CM functions that solution answers: CM 2.2.2 Develop the C3 system: Include APM-40 system as complementary to existing public safety networks (TETRA, LTE). Develop C3 functionalities. CM 2.2.3 Develop the communication and information management system: Include APM-40 system as complementary to existing public safety networks (TETRA, LTE).

CM 4.3.2 Coordinate and conduct incident SAR operations: Use APM-40 in remote or underground areas CM 4.3.3. Conduct emergency firefighting: Use APM-40 in metros, tunnels where the wireless public safety networks does not work, existing cabling may be damaged or burnt down! CM 4.3.6. Conduct limited emergency evacuation operation: Use APM-40 in metros, tunnels where the wireless public safety networks does not work, existing cabling may be damaged or burnt down! 7
CM functions that solution answers: CM 4.4.3 Provide Safety during mass public events. Wireless technologies may be overloaded in such situation or easily jammed by terrorists. Cyber attacks may also bring down all the networks! CM 5.2.4.7 Command Response operations: deploy and use APM-40 along responders if other networks are not available or they do not cover all areas or are not dense enough (e.g. not enough channels available) CM 7.1 Establish CCIM organization: Include APM-40 solution to complement existing network CM 7.2 Conduct and coordinate communications and information planning: Include APM-40 solution to complement existing networks. CM 7.3. Create CCIM networks: Include APM-40 solution to complement exisiting network CM 7.4 Continuously Improve CCIM: Include APM-40 solution to complement exisiting network 8 CM 7.5 Exploit CCIM for protection, response and recovery: Use APM-40 if other communications are not available or not covering all areas
