1. Introduction For many years, Kansas emergency responders have identified the lack of readily available interoperable communications as a shortfall during a multidisciplinary or multi-jurisdictional response. One step toward improvement of interoperable communications was the creation of a statewide fixed-site (stationary transmitters located on permanent tower sites) communications interoperability gateway that would be available upon demand, when needed, and as authorized. This system is known as MOTOBRIDGE. These MOTOBRIDGE Standard Operating Procedures were developed to provide a description and common reference of operational protocols for the system. The contents were developed using multi-jurisdictional and multidisciplinary input from emergency responders throughout Kansas. 2. Background In May of 2008 a joint planning session including the Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) and the Communications Advisory Committee was held in Salina, Kansas to develop the Standard Operating Procedures for the MOTOBRIDGE System. 59 multijurisdictional and multi-disciplinary public servants attended the planning session. Core participation included representatives from the following disciplines: Law Enforcement (State and Local) Fire EMS Emergency Management (State and Local) Communications (State and Local) Transportation Medical Military After reviewing the technical operation of the MOTOBRIDGE System, participants engaged in a question and answer process to determine the desired operational protocol. After the planning session, the SOP s were developed by the Kansas Office of Emergency Communications (KS-OEC) and approved by the SIEC 4 of 24
3. System Overview MOTOBRIDGE is a fixed-site interoperability gateway that is located on 76 tower sites owned by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). Figure 1 is a map of the State of Kansas with red dots indicating each of the 76 tower sites. The areas in yellow indicate Counties that contain tower sites which are capable of providing the MOTOBRIDGE System and the Digital Trunked Radio System (P-25). Like with any other radio system, actual coverage depends on issues such as terrain, frequency band, antenna height, weather, functionality of the end-user radio equipment, etcetera. Figure 1 KDOT / MOTOBRIDGE tower sites Currently, MOTOBRIDGE is operational in roughly half of the state. The remainder of the system (39 sites) will be complete by September, 2010. Appendix B contains a map indicating where MOTOBRIDGE is currently operational and the expected completion date for the remainder of the state. Using both national and state interoperability channels, MOTOBRIDGE can connect or patch pre-determined channels between disparate radio systems. This can be accomplished on a single site (Bourbon VHF patched to Bourbon UHF) or across multiple sites (Bourbon VHF patched to Sumner 800 MHz). Appendix C lists the call-in, tactical, and digital trunked channel names and frequencies used on the MOTOBRIDGE System including: VHF Low Band (State channels) VHF High Band (National Channels) UHF (National Channels) 800 MHz (National Channels) KHP Event Talkgroups (Kansas Digital Trunked System users) 5 of 24
A channel patch is managed through an Operator at the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) Communications center by manipulating a software-based MOTOBRIDGE console. One national or state call-in channel has been designated for each band of radio spectrum. The call-in channels are used to make requests for a MOTOBRIDGE patch and are monitored by KHP on each site at all times. Like the call-in channels, a number of tactical channels have been established to promote shared-channel interoperability. These tactical channels are assigned in a checker-board fashion at all MOTOBRIDGE sites throughout the state. These tactical channels are patched through the MOTOBRIDGE System to provide cross-band and/or multi-site communications systems. Repeaters are utilized for tactical channels in the UHF and 800 MHz bands. Although the tactical channels are not continuously monitored by the KHP Dispatch center, following the general usage guidelines in Section 4, the tactical channels are available for use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For users of the statewide 800 MHz Digital Trunked Radio System, a KHP Event Talkgroup has been assigned to each site. These talkgroups can be used for both patch requests and tactical connections. Figure 2 is a map providing an example of tactical channel assignments at several tower sites. Figure 2 Tactical channel assignment per site 6 of 24
4. Usage MOTOBRIDGE is intended for multi-disciplinary or multi-jurisdictional use when other common means of radio communications are not available. Generally, the system should be used by responders and critical facilities during activities that directly impact life safety and the preservation of property. MOTOBRIDGE channels may be temporarily used by agencies that have unexpectedly lost local communications infrastructure due to external forces. If the system is being used for this purpose, KDOT and KHP should be notified in order to avoid disruptions (such as maintenance) of service. 4.1 Patch Request Procedure A MOTOBRIDGE patch can be requested in a variety of ways including: Radio by using a call-in channel Telephone by calling KHP Dispatch at the number designated for the troop serving your area or *47 from a cell phone Teletype to KHP from a PSAP Some basic information is required in any situation when requesting a MOTOBRIDGE patch. The person asking for the patch, also known as a requestor, must identify themselves, provide their location, and provide the site(s) and radio bands to be patched. If a requestor does not know which site(s) will best suit their location, KHP Operators will evaluate the location and determine the site which provides the best coverage. Use the following procedure to initiate a MOTOBRIDGE patch via radio: Contact KHP Dispatch on the designated call-in channel and identify by using home city/county + radio number (Logan County 601) or agency/facility name (Logan County Hospital). The requestor should also indicate their current location by county. Once KHP answers, request a MOTOBRIDGE patch then provide the bands and location(s) of the patch. Remain on the call-in channel. As a courtesy, KHP will notify the requestor that the patch is ready and the appropriate tactical channels to be used. Once complete, users will switch to the tactical channels to communicate. 7 of 24
An example: Logan County 601 to KHP Dispatch from Wallace County KHP Dispatch... go ahead Request MOTOBRIDGE patch Go ahead with request Patch Wallace UHF to Wallace VHF Wallace VTAC12 and Wallace UTAC42 are patched and ready The KHP Operator may request additional contact information from the requestor at the time of the patch request. This information may be necessary to check the status of the patch or to verify a request to discontinue the connection. 4.2 Patch Notification Procedure In many cases, end users of a MOTOBRIDGE patch will be aware that the patch is being connected. This is accomplished by on-scene coordination through word of mouth or by other electronic means such as telephone or teletype. Every effort to coordinate a patch in the field should be taken. In some cases, a patch may be requested without the targeted user s knowledge. Generally, this applies when a requestor does not have the means to notify or coordinate with the target user. This is known as a cold call. In the event of a cold call, KHP Dispatch will make every effort to notify the target user. To do so, KHP Operators will need guidance from the requestor such as the agency, name or radio number of the target, and their agency contact information, if available. Unless notified of a cold call situation at the time of request, KHP Dispatch will assume that the patch has already been coordinated in the field. It is the responsibility of the requestor to ask for a cold call notification. 4.3 Patch Discontinuation A MOTOBRIDGE patch will remain active until a request is made to KHP Dispatch to discontinue. In situations where a patch would be considered short-term, typically measured in minutes or hours, KHP Operators will verify the continued need for the patch in four hour intervals from the time of the original request to ensure that a patch is still being utilized. During a large-scale incident or disaster, measured in days or weeks, regular verification will not be performed. A MOTOBRIDGE patch will not be discontinued unless positive verification is made from the requestor or their agency. 8 of 24
Generally, discontinuation of a patch should be handled by the person or agency who requested the original activation. Discontinuation of a patch via radio request should be made on the call-in channel. Following the same procedure as patch activation, provide the location(s) and bands to be discontinued. 4.4 License Requirements All fixed-site MOTOBRIDGE base-stations and repeaters located on the KDOT towers are owned by KDOT and licensed through the FCC. Any other base-station, control-station or repeater at the local level using the National or State Interoperability channels must be licensed by the FCC to the appropriate local government agency. For mobile and portable use, the National Interoperability Channels are covered under a blanket license. If an agency is ELIGIBLE for a FCC part 90 radio license, the National Interoperability Channels may be programmed into equipment without having the channels individually licensed to the agency. **The state VHF Low-Band channels (39.58/39.70) used by MOTOBRIDGE require an FCC license through a local agency for fixed and mobile / portable use.** Users of the Digital Trunked Radio System require no local licensing for the use of the system, assuming that the proper documentation has been filed with KDOT. Licenses for these channels are coordinated and held by KDOT on behalf of the local agency. 4.5 Signaling For the purpose of this document, signaling is defined as any non-voice signal produced by radio equipment to identify, notify, or otherwise dispatch and coordinate responders. Examples of signaling include, but are not limited to: Paging DTMF Voice Encryption Push-to-Talk identification Alert tones MOTOBRIDGE uses nationally recognized interoperability channels designated for multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary use. Currently, there are no national signaling standards for these channels. The lack of standards could potentially lead to confusion and channel congestion. To avoid unnecessary confusion and to reduce channel congestion, signaling functions are not allowed on the MOTOBRIDGE system. 9 of 24
5. NIMS Compliance Based on Presidential Directive (HSPD)-5, in 2005, Kansas Executive Order 05-03 established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the statewide standard for incident management. The current Kansas Emergency Response Plan was developed using NIMS principles, including the use of the Incident Command System (ICS), an integrated system of multiagency coordination centers, and joint public information. Local emergency operations plans have been, or are currently being developed, from the same principles. The Kansas Response Plan (KRP) is developed and maintained by the Kansas Division of Emergency Management. 5.1 Plain Language Over-the-air common terminology, otherwise known as plain-language, during an emergency or disaster is a requirement of the NIMS. Currently, the use of plain-language on local communications systems while conducting normal operations is addressed by individual agency policy. A multi-agency response to an incident requires the use of plain-language for emergency operations. MOTOBRIDGE is designed for multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary use. To avoid confusion stemming from the use of non-standard codes, plain language should be used at all times while communicating on MOTOBRIDGE. The use of 10-codes and similar signaling codes should be avoided. 5.2 Incident Command System (ICS) Support With the occurrence of a disaster or pre-planned event where the Incident Command System (ICS) may be implemented, MOTOBRIDGE can be used in support of the event. The Incident Commander or his/her designee within the ICS has authority to utilize MOTOBRIDGE as deemed necessary to coordinate and fulfill the communications needs of the appropriate responders. 10 of 24
6. Training and Exercise As with any other tool used by emergency responders, communications equipment and systems such as MOTOBRIDGE should be regularly trained and exercised upon to promote familiarity and ease of use. As a general rule, agencies should train and exercise on communications equipment and protocol at least once annually. MOTOBRIDGE training could be as simple as a review of this document or subsequent training materials and a review of communications equipment to locate the channels used by the system. A group exercise at a staff meeting or similar event should involve a patch request to KHP and a brief test of the patch on the tactical channels. Similar MOTOBRIDGE exercises are encouraged during other types of events such as a county or region-wide disaster exercise. To ensure the exercise will not interfere with more urgent emergency operations, as a courtesy, KHP Dispatch should be notified prior to the start of the exercise. NOTE: Beginning in 2009, the Kansas Office of Emergency Communications (KS-OEC) will be providing instructor driven MOTOBRIDGE Basic Training. These courses will be held at several locations in each of the Kansas Homeland Security Regions. By request, KS-OEC staff will consider additional training events on a case-by-case basis. Contact information for the KS-OEC is listed in Appendix A. 11 of 24
7. System Administration and Trouble Reporting The Kansas MOTOBRIDGE System is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). Questions concerning the administration and maintenance of the MOTOBRIDGE system should be directed to the KDOT system administrator via telephone. Appendix A lists the contact information for system administration, trouble reporting, and operational concerns. The Kansas Department of Transportation strives to provide the best quality communications systems. In order to do so, KDOT communications personnel need to know of any troubles or malfunctions of the MOTOBRIDGE system as soon as possible. System trouble reports should be directed to the KDOT Communications Section at (785)296-3661. This is a recorded line after hours and on weekends. This is the same policy used for tower site notifications from the general public. In an emergency, after hours and weekend trouble reports should be directed to the KHP Central Dispatch Center via telephone or teletype. End user equipment (mobile, portable, base/control station) functionality and maintenance is the responsibility of the agency or department which owns the equipment. The Kansas Highway Patrol is responsible for operating the MOTOBRIDGE consoles through taking patch requests and making patch connections. Concerns about the operations level of MOTOBRIDGE functionality can be directed to the KHP Central Dispatch Center supervisory staff. Many local and regional response agencies have purchased mobile gateway devices that provide channel patch capabilities similar to MOTOBRIDGE. Many of these mobile devices also rely upon using the National Interoperability Channels. The combination of mobile and fixed-site communications gateway equipment using the same frequencies commonly raises a concern about interference between the two systems. KDOT Communications staff will work in conjunction with the mobile gateway user to determine the cause of potential interference between the mobile device and MOTOBRIDGE. If it is determined that interference exists between the two systems, KDOT and local staff will work together to decide the best course of action to resolve the issue. 12 of 24
8. Equipment Requirements Quick Reference To operate on the MOTOBRIDGE system, users must have the channels used by the system properly programmed into their radio equipment. With the exception of VHF Low-Band, conventional radio equipment must have the capability of narrowband (12.5 KHz) operation in order to properly program the channels. By order of the Kansas SIEC, all public safety mobile and portable radio equipment purchased under the Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC) Grant, and FY 2008 and subsequent Homeland Security Grant Programs must have sufficient channel capacity to allow programming of the National Interoperability Channels designated for the radio band(s) being purchased. The order also states that all such equipment acquired will have the National Interoperability Channels programmed according to the NPSTC / KS SIEC Channel Naming Plan (Post Attachment 1) at the time of purchase. 13 of 24

POST ATTACHMENT 1- NPSTC/KS SIEC CH. NAMING PLAN On September 29, 2008, the Kansas SIEC adopted a set of standards for the National Interoperability Channels. The standards are those recommended by the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC). Additionally, state standards were adopted for VHF Low-Band frequencies that are not recognized nationally for interoperability. The current version of the channel standards are attached to this document for reference. 24 of 24
OFFICE OF EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS NOTICE OF COMMUNICATIONS STANDARDS OCTOBER 2008 Throughout the last several years, emergency response agencies have been programming the National Interoperability Channels into their radio equipment as one solution to improve interoperable emergency communications. In 2007, several naming standards were released in an effort to commonly name the National Interoperability Channels. With a number of naming standards being recommended and no single solution, the naming of these channels varied from agency to agency, depending on which standard was chosen. On September 29, 2008, the Kansas Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) discussed the need to choose one of the many naming and programming standards for the National Interoperability Channels and for the State VHF Low-Band Interoperability Channels. Following the lead of several other states and the Federal Department of Homeland Security, the SIEC chose to adopt the standards developed by the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) as the statewide standard for Kansas. An extended version of the NPSTC naming and programming standard follows in this document. It has been modified to include some additional information that is specific to our state. Understanding that many agencies have programmed these channels using other channel names, a conversion chart has also been attached for cross reference. Agencies should re-program the channels to the proper standards at their convenience during their next programming upgrade. The conversion chart can be used until a programming upgrade is performed. In similar action, the SIEC also required any mobile or portable radio purchased through the Public Safety Interoperable Communications Grant (PSIC) and FY2008 and subsequent Homeland Security Grant Programs (HSGP) have sufficient capacity to include the National Interoperability Channels. The action also indicates that the National Interoperability Channels must be programmed according to the Kansas standard at the time of purchase. S/ Jason R.

However, it is advisable to follow the national law enforcement CTCSS plan to minimize atmospheric skip interference that can plague this band during periods of high sunspot activity. Tx FREQ Tx CTCSS BAND NOTE: 6 character short name to only be used in radios that can not support the full 8 character name. If the longer NPSTC recommended name is 6 characters or less, it is also used for the short name, otherwise the name is abbreviated. 800 MHz short names have been approved by NPSTC. Other short names will be addressed during the ANSI standardization process. NOTE: Tx CTCSS for paired UHF and 800 MHz channels may vary to permit transmitter steering for multi site systems. However, use of multi CTCSS base receivers is recommended so that systems always respond to 156.7 Hz as a national emergency tone. For 800 MHz channels, CTCSS plans and operational procedures often are addressed in 800 MHz Regional Plans. (*) NOTE: At a future date to be determined during the ANSI standardization process, it is recommended that all nationwide interoperability channels have 156.7 Hz CTCSS on both receive and transmit frequencies. During the transition period, it is recommended that channels marked with an asterisk and already narrowbanded (VCALL/TAC and UCALL/TAC channels) should be programmed for CTCSS on subscriber transmit only, with carrier squelch on receive.
