Agenda Introduction Current industry reality Trends Vision for Converged Networks Benefits of Convergence Conclusions 2
Historical Perspective Disparate Networks RF System 1 RF System 2 RF System 3 RF System 3 RF System 3 IP System 1 IP System 2 IP System 3 IP System 4 IP System 5 Condition Separate funding Special services/applications Concerns over control Grade of Service Result Operational silos Limited interoperability Limited collaboration Increased expense 6 years later interoperability is marginally improved DHS Report Only 6/75 Metro Areas are well prepared 3
Convergence of Networks RF Subsystem RF Subsystem 2 One IP P25 Trunking Network Common IP Network Convergence RF Subsystems One Trunked Network Shared IP Network Level of Convergence Only constrained by available frequencies Shared backbone with Agency partitioning Shared Infrastructure, Information, Services Multiple levels of Convergence RF, Trunking, IP Infrastructure Unifying Communication resources across agencies 4
Sharing is a common government theme for Convergence Share infrastructure Share information Share services Enable sharing of physical resources and equipment across agencies to reduce costs Control, enhance, and secure network access Simplify management and reconfiguration Improve operational efficiency by providing access to critical information Foster communications to support delivery of constituent services, agency collaboration, and joint operations Consolidate common government services to enhance operational efficiency Enable creation of centers of excellence to provide services Ensure new applications are built based on constituent needs Public Safetycentered Outcome-focused Lower costs 5
Drivers for Convergence Communications Needs have Evolved Radio, Phone Single Device Voice only Closed Reactive Integrated Mobile/Fixed Any Device Voice, Video, Data Dynamic Networks Proactive Significant Workflow and Productivity Benefits Shared applications Real time information with improved responsiveness Dispatch Situational video, Hazard material sensing Field reporting, premise history lookup Car-to-car messaging Auto Vehicle Location/Mapping Pictures, criminal database/history E-Ticketing Vehicle telematics Send/receive medical data DVR Printer Cellular Laptop Mobile Router w/ 802.11 and CDMA Modem In-Vehicle Network/ Vehicle Hotspot Video Mug Scanner LMR Portable 6
What Does Converged Infrastructure Look Like? AP Performance & Fault Management WAP PC Client Network Operations Center Desktop PTT Client Remote Branches Legacy LMR Cellular Wireless Web Servers Core IP Wide Area Network Agency Command & Administration Centers Data Center 802,11/Broadband Overlays P25 25 Multisite Network Public Safety Public Service Provisioning & Security Management Transportation Dispatc h Dispatch Interoperability Management 7
User Benefits Improved Situational Awareness Reduced danger to First Responders with apriori knowledge Extends Office Network to the Incident Real-time communications Better and quicker decisions for safer communities More efficient use of public safety workforce Confidentiality of Information Information sharing between Emergency Operations Center and First Responders Interoperability Beyond Radio Multiple modes of information VVD Integrated Notification Location, Device and Format agnostic delivery 8
Technical/Operational Benefits Network Resilience no centralized call control, autonomous subsystems, self discovery Network Reliability no single point of failure Shared data center services Shared security services Shared network management Bandwidth can be reallocated on demand Operational cost savings Simplified and single location Network management Fewer nodes to manage Traffic aggregation for sites with less loading Fewer operations with reduced support staff Improved flexibility 9

Wireless IP Network Considerations A Native IP wireless infrastructure that securely delivers a uniform, costeffective set of shared services to multiple agencies that provides: Mixed analog/digital/multiband wide area talk groups Project 25 compliance Seamless roaming and mobility management Dynamic discovery site additions Agency partitioning and with complete FCAPS network management Bandwidth efficient traffic operation,,, multicast Distributed versus home site call management Initiated call-site failure avoidance Graceful but always trunked site operation End-to-end multicast encryption High availability and reliability no single points of failure, alternative routing, and fully distributed architecture ensuring no infrastructure is critical 11
Wireless Network Architecture 1) Single Site Systems 2) Multisite Overlay (Software) 3) ISSI State Interoperability (Software) 4) Broadband Overlay 5) Cellular/Legacy I-OP ISSI 802,11/Broadband Overlays State-Wide Network Cellular P25 Single site Systems P25 Multisite Network Legacy LMR One One Shared Shared Network Network Supporting Trunked, Trunked, Conventional, Broadband, Cellular, Cellular, and and Legacy Legacy 12
Conclusion Converged networks: Reduce danger to First Responders with apriori knowledge Improve Situational Awareness Are catalysts for improved responsiveness and increased safety Lower Operational costs Improving interagency communications and collaboration Improve Resilience / Reliability / Availability and Security Allow a phased approach to implementation Are funded by DHS grants for interoperability Duplication of infrastructure serves no ones interests It is time to consider a converged network solution 13
