1 Project 25 Today An Overview Doug Chapman Etherstack
2 Public Safety Interoperable Communications The TIA-102 suite of standards is used for the design of Project 25 (P25) interoperable digital two-way wireless communication products. P25 is adopted by organizations around the world for mission critical communications Enabling Interoperability Multi-Vendor Sourcing Migration from Legacy Equipment Evolving Multiple Frequency Bands Spectral Efficiency Public Safety User Driven Conventional & Trunked Operation Secure Communications Established Voice and Data Coverage Flexibility Global Standard with Worldwide Adoption
3 Benefits of Project 25 Interoperability Requirement Multi-Vendor Sourcing Public Safety User-Driven Digital Worldwide Adoption Economical Coverage Trunked & Conventional Operation Multiple Configurations Supports Migration Multiple Frequency Bands Supported Security Services Spectrally Efficient Grant Funding Forward Interoperability Planning with LTE P25

14 What Is Project 25: A Conclusion Project 25 Project 25 interoperable digital two-way wireless communication products are designed to the TIA-102 suite of standards Project 25 is made up of air interfaces, wireline interfaces, security interfaces, data interfaces, and data applications For a P25 interface or service to be defined for a given functionality, both the TIA-102 Core Definition documents and Testing documents need to be published P25/TIA Compliance is determined at the feature level, P25 features should be designed to the applicable TIA-102 standards documents and pass TIA-102 published tests that apply
15 Concluding - The Benefits of Project 25 Equipment and services are available from over 37 vendors Adopted worldwide with P25 systems deployed in 83 countries Public safety professionals are part of the standards process Spectrally Efficient and Compliant to FCC and Other Regulatory Bodies around the world Covers large geographic areas with fewer transmitter sites than other technologies providing economical coverage Supports both Trunked & Conventional operation Supports a multitude of configurations such as multicast, simulcast, direct/simplex operation, repeaters, voting, singlesite, and multi-site Supports multiple frequency bands Supports Security Services Digital enabling improved audio over analog
