Rebanding Update

Basic Rebanding Message

 Interference has been a serious problem for 800 MHz Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure communications  FCC spent 2 1/2 years studying problem with 10’s of thousands of pages of comments  Report and Order was designed to reduce PS interference  If you are impacted, it is mandatory- you can’t get out of it  All costs are covered  Motorola is here to help you through the process and provide the absolute minimum disruption to your operation 2

Impacts to Subscribers and Infrastructure

Motorola’s System Categories

System impact falls into 4 categories based upon channels used

A – Channels in first 120 only (806.0125/851.0125 – 808.9875/853.9875)  No NPSPAC 821-824 Channels at all B – Channels in NPSPAC only (821.0125/866.0125 – 823.9875/868.9875)  No Channels in 806-809 General Category C – Channels in NPSPAC and first 120 / Expansion D – Channels in Interleaved spectrum (809.0125/854.0125 – 815.9875/860.9875)   No NPSPAC 821-824 Channels at all No 806-809 General Category Channels Note: Expansion Band PS will move, unless they opt to stay 4

Retune/Reprogram/Update/Replace Definitions

 Retune: Updating the channel frequencies via the Customer Programming Software/Radio Service Software programming software  Reprogram: Updating operating software via software FLASH with new frequencies & band plan  Update: One or more boards must be replaced in the equipment to enable retuning or reprogramming  Replace: Cannot be updated to support new frequencies or band plans 5

Software Development and Certification Effort For Fielded Units

 New channel assignment required to move NPSPAC to lower part of band  Channel Spacing in 806-809 changes with new band plan  Channel number to frequency translation must change  Control channel list has been increased to allow old and new assignments  Failsoft channel list has been increased to allow old and new assignments  New plan allows radios to work on either upgraded or not upgraded site  Simplifies rebanding migration process  Minimizes disruption to Licensees  Greatly reduces infrastructure costs and overlay requirements  Reduces number of duplicate systems needed  Enables system-wide mobility throughout customer migration 19
