GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Why does Public Safety care?
Technology advances provide
public safety increased voice and
data transmission capabilities, far
beyond what previously existed.
Converged networking will
eventually provide robust asset
and information sharing
capabilities across disciplines
and jurisdictions.
Public safety should be
ready to leverage these
opportunities!

Land Mobile Radio
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Land Mobile Radio
Tremendous activity in the
LMR arena related to
spectrum narrowbanding,
rebanding, and ‘give back’
initiatives in order to free
up radio frequency for
public safety and
commercial use….
Your agency may
be impacted!
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
VHF/UHF Narrowbanding
 FCC – March 2005 Report and Order 05-69
– VHF (150 – 174 MHz) and UHF (421-512 MHz) public
safety transmitters to be narrowband compliant by January
1, 2013
– FCC accepting waivers to extend narrowbanding deadline
– Any potential interference issues will be incumbent upon
legacy wideband operator to address and mitigate
– Failure to narrowband or receive a waiver could result in
expensive FCC penalties
 HR – 3630 - T-Band spectrum Give Back (UHF 470512MHz) within 9 - 11 years or sooner – Last week,
FCC waived the narrowbanding mandate for impacted
agencies
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
VHF/UHF Narrowbanding
What does this mean?
 If operating in this spectrum, your agency
should be narrowband compliant by
1/13/2013, unless it has been issued a
waiver
– Includes fixed repeaters and subscriber
units
– Risk of penalties for non-compliance
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
700MHz Narrowbanding
 FCC plan to transition 700 MHz band
from 12.5 KHz to 6.25 KHz on December
31, 2016
 700 MHz will be TDMA (Time Division
Multiple Access) - allows for more traffic
to pass due to “chopping” channel into
sequential time slices
 What does this mean for
your agency?
In light of PS Broadband activities,
impacted agencies should follow FCC
activities on this topic. If your agency
uses this spectrum – it is currently
required to meet this transition date.

 Mission Statement
–
Through effective partnerships, CCNC continues to efficiently manage a statewide
interoperable public safety communications system on behalf of its member entities.
 Vision Statement
–
To become a model organization of diverse entities, which effectively sustains the operation
of a jointly owned public safety communications network.
 Goals
–
–
–
–
–
Continue to promote interoperable public safety communications through participation at all
levels of government
Achieve unsurpassed system reliability and availability for public safety communications
Evolve the governance and management organization to provide the best support for the
public safety communications network, its partners, and end users
Develop a sustained funding model and mechanism to maintain critical public safety
communications infrastructure
Implement responsible technological enhancements of the network
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Colorado Statewide DTRS
• P25 Network – 700/800 MHz
• 4 Zone Controllers
• 207 Repeater Sites

• 66 Dispatch Centers connected to
the Zone Controllers
• 1,100+ Agencies
• 2,300+ TalkGroups
• Local, Regional, Tribal, State and
Federal Partnership
• 2011 – average ~7.5M calls/month
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
DTRS Challenges
 Governance
– Local, Regional, Tribal, State and Federal Partnership
 Sustainability – no dedicated funding stream
– ~$11M to “Keep the Lights On”
– ~$150M over next 5 years to keep network ‘fresh’
• Addresses capacity issues
• Addresses platform obsolescence
 Technology
– Backhaul – microwave and fiber connections between
repeater sites
– LMR evolution toward LTE
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Interoperability Challenges
 TRAINING - ~$600 IECGP funds
– Statewide Interoperability Training Curriculum
• Web-Based Training

•
•
•
•
Instructor Led Training – 37 courses

LTE/PSBN
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
What is LTE and the PSBN?
 Long Term Evolution
– Technology standard identified for use in developing
nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN)
 PSBN
– Single, national network with open, non-proprietary,
commercially available standards and be ‘capable of being
used by any public safety entity and by multiple vendors
across all public safety broadband networks operating in
the 700 MHz band.’
– Will allow for mission critical data applications (building
records, teleconferencing, video, software applications,
etc) to be managed through nationwide network
– Per GAO, Voice may eventually be passed on this network
but could be at least 10 years away
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
HR3630
 Title VI of Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012 signed 2/22/12
– D Block and Technical Advisory Committee
– Creation of FirstNet (Governance Body) through
National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA)
– $135M for state and local grants to identify, plan and
implement most effective way to utilize network (20%
match required)
– $300M for R&D at National Institute of Standards and
Technologies (NIST)
– $7B in NTIA grant funding to network build and O&M
– $115M for 911 and NexGen 911 grants
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
HR3630
 Funding
– $7B available to NTIA to make grants to the
States for build out, operation and maintenance
of the network
– Intend to leverage existing commercial networks
and local infrastructure where possible
– Sustainability
•

•
Network user fees
Lease fees from public-private partnerships
Lease fees for use of FirstNet assets
Lease fees for backhaul services to commercial entities
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
HR3630
 State Opt Out
– Any State can opt out and develop its own
statewide PSBN
– If State selects Opt Out, it must provide a plan
to:
• Comply with nationwide network minimum
technical interoperability requirements
• Be interoperable with nationwide network
– If accepted, State may lease spectrum from
and apply to NTIA for funding
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
PSBN
 7 Entities are currently building PSBN pilots
throughout the country using BTOP funding
 NTIA has asked all current waiver and grant
recipients to halt the construction of their
PSBN
 Concerned that equipment deployed now
may not integrate into the nationwide PSBN
 Asked to hold off on infrastructure
deployment until FirstNet creates the
nationwide network blueprint
