NEXT GEN SAFE-T
P25 UPGRADE
Integrated Public Safety Commission
Current Status - Capacity
Statewide 800 MHz Communications System
• Designed in 2000, limited to 64,000 IDs
• At system capacity – no room for additional
users
• This negates the tremendous interoperability
opportunities and savings that the SAFE-T
network provides
Current Status - End of Life
• Manufacturing end dates occurred in 2013,
and vendor contracted support will run out
at the end of 2017. This will render the
system "not" upgradeable and repairable
only as long as end of production parts are
available.
The Benefits of P25 Technology
• Integration with neighboring States
(Michigan, Ohio, Illinois) as well as the City
of Louisville.
• Twice the user capacity of the existing
network.
• The ability to add additional tower sites,
thereby improving coverage.
The Benefits of P25 Technology
• The ability to purchase radios from multiple
manufacturers, thereby ensuring cost
competitiveness and more choice in
products.
• An environment ideal for the convergence
of voice and data (National Public Safety
Broadband/LTE/FirstNet) in the future
P25 Planning
• IPSC and the Indiana Office of Budget and
Management (OMB) conducted a very detailed
review, analysis and procurement process
• Several state agencies, including the Indiana
Department of Homeland Security, Indiana Criminal
Justice Institute, and the Indiana Department of
Health, were intimately involved. Unprecedented
cooperation & partnerships will benefit public safety
professionals for decades to come.
Vendor Selection
• Massive project affecting tens of
thousands of users.
• The state has good working
relationships with both EF Johnson and
Motorola, and also considered
proposals from other vendors
Vendor Selection
• Who can best support old and upgraded
systems?
• Existing system is Motorola Smartzone/ Omnilink
• Motorola developed the hardware and software of
both the current and upgraded systems and is best
able to maintain the current system while
implementing the upgraded system.
• 83% of the state system users use Motorola
products.
Vendor Selection
• Continuity and experience of both
implementation and maintenance teams
• Personnel that implemented and maintains the
current system will implement and maintain the
upgraded system
• Familiarity with existing sites
• Excellent working relationship/high
performance and level of service remains high
Current SAFE-T System IDs
EFJohnson
6577 IDs (11%)
Consoles
4000 IDs (7%)
Motorola
49423 IDs
(82%)
Other Considerations
• Radios will need P25 software (firmware) to operate
on the upgraded P25 system (regardless of which
vendor provides the system infrastructure)
• Had the state selected another vendor’s
infrastructure, 49,000 + Motorola users would have
to purchase the required flash kits
• As part of the contract, Motorola agreed to provide
flash kits to local agencies at no cost (state is not
paying for this)
The Bottom Line
• The P25 system is based on the same principles that
drove the success of the current statewide system
– voluntary participation, no user fees, and
partnerships that allow for maximum savings and
statewide interoperability.
P25 Details
• Contract signed with Motorola 3/26/14
• The upgrade will allow the addition of
radios, sites and wire-line consoles
• Double the ID capacity from 64,000 to
128,000 ID’s.
Migration Phases
• Build-out will be done by
ISP Dispatch Regions
starting with Versailles,
Bloomington, Indianapolis,
Lowell, Fort Wayne then
Bremen/Toll Road.
• Build-out to be completed
in 2 years.
P25 Details
• Moving from 4 Zones on the 4.1 system to 2 Zones on
the P25 system. New Cores will be located at
Indianapolis and Bloomington. Cores will be the first
items purchased. New locations will require the rerouting of many T-1’s.
• All radios within the build-out ISP District will need to
be upgraded and re-programmed before any of the
sites can be upgraded. Some 60,000 radios to be
touched.
P25 Upgrade
• Upgrades to Motorola radios are included in the migration.
The upgrades are not being funded by the State.
• Some radios are analog only and not capable of being
upgraded to P25. Particularly, Motorola MTS 2000, MCS
2000, Spectra, MTX series, and LTX series.
• Substantial discounts will be available for select Motorola
radios for the period of the 2 year build-out only. The
claimed 52% discount is from the List price, not the QPA
price. Motorola dealers will provide pricing.
P25 Upgrade
• Other vendor radios can be used on the system, but
they must meet the requirements of the Compliance
Assessment Program and must be secured with a
hardware system key. Info about the CAP is available at
http://www.pscr.gov/outreach/safecom/p25_cap/p25_ca
p_docs.php
• Consult with IPSC prior to purchase
P25 Upgrade
• A new base-line template will be developed to assure
that a core group of talkgroups and conventional
channels are programmed into every radio.
• The upgrade will be to P25 Phase 1, not Phase 2. Future
plans could include upgrade to Phase 2. This means that
current Motorola XTL/XTS series radios will continue to
work on the upgraded system.
P25 Upgrade
• The upgrade will be a fork-lift replacement of
equipment at each site. The 4.1 and P25 systems will not
be run in parallel. That means that as the upgrade
progresses across the State, users will either be on the
4.1 system or the P25 system. Dual programming will be
necessary
• Depending on the number of sites, it will take several
weeks for each Region to be completed
Costs to Locals
• Reprogramming and template fees
• Upgrade cost discussions are being held with EF
Johnson
• IPSC is working with IDHS and other state agencies to
identify any and all grants that can be used to help ease
the costs to locals
Timing
• Rapid developments in the last few months, including
large grants that have to be expended by this summer,
led to P25 project reality.
• This, teamed with the nature of the upgrade, means
things will happen very quickly.
• The good news – contract provides for biennial system
upgrades for 21 years, guaranteeing that state and local
agencies will have access to latest technology and new
features.

NEXT GEN COMMUNICATIONS
FirstNet
Integrated Public Safety Commission
What Is FirstNet?
• 911 Commission Report called for national interoperable
wireless broadband network for first responders.
Spectrum reserved since 1997 for this purpose.
• In 2012, Congress created & funded the First Responder
Network Authority (FirstNet), which now holds spectrum
license
‐
‐
$7 Billion for Network development and $135 million for state
and local planning
Only $2 billion up front, the rest from spectrum auctions
Vision & Guiding Principles
• To provide emergency responders with the first
nationwide, high-speed, wireless broadband network
dedicated to public safety
• Leverage existing commercial wireless infrastructure to
the maximum extent economically desirable
• Ensure nationwide standards for use and access of the
network
Vision & Guiding Principles
• Ensure the safety, security, and resiliency of the
network, including against cyberattack
• Must consult with state POC on Radio Access
Network (RAN) design, RFPs, network policies
Vision & Guiding Principles
What Will FirstNet Do?
• FirstNet will be used to send data, video, images and
texts as well as make non-mission critical voice calls.
• Users will get larger bandwidth and faster access to
information they need to meet their mission.
• Unlike commercial wireless networks, FirstNet will allow
for priority access among public safety users.
• New applications, appliances and technologies for first
responders are developed or will be developed.
Potential Public Safety Broadband Applications
• Video Surveillance, Remote Monitoring
• Remote Database Access/Queries (mug
shots, fingerprints, NCIC, criminal history,
hot files)
• Multimedia Command and Control (floor
plans, incident stills, surveillance)
• Computer-aided Dispatch (CAD), Next
Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1)
• Records Management Systems Access
• Mobile Incident Command
• Medical Telemetry
• Field Based Reporting
• Remote Control of Robotic Devices
• Dynamic Mapping, Weather, Traffic
• Instant Messaging, SMS, One-way
Notifications, Tactical Chat Rooms
• Real-time, One- and Two-Way Video
• Geo-Location and Asset Tracking
• Mobile Office (bulk file transfer, email,
Internet web access, VPN)
• Geospatial Applications
• Automated License Plate Recognition
• Digital Signage, Traffic Alerts, Automated
Transactions
• Standardized Push-To-Talk (PTT), Voice over
IP (VoIP) - future
FirstNet Will NOT Replace LMR
• In the near term, wireless broadband will complement
Land Mobile Radio (LMR), not replace it. Wireless
broadband does not currently meet the requirements
for emergency response voice communications,
therefore LMR will be around for years.
• Investments in LMR will continue to be necessary now
and well into the future. It will still be years before
emergency responders can rely on broadband
technologies for voice communications.
SLIGP
State & Local Implementation Grant Program (SLIGP)
• $121.5 Million total available to support states with
planning, consultation, education and outreach activities
and to collect information on infrastructure and
equipment
• Indiana received just under $3 million ($2.35M federal,
$588,000 State match)
SLIGP
• Phase 1: planning, consulting, and development
activities in preparation for consultations with
FirstNet, including strategy and timeline
development, meetings, governance planning,
and outreach and education efforts
• Phase 2: Data collection activities and
continuation of all of the approved first phase
activities (e.g., planning, governance, outreach,
education). Consultation with FirstNet
Consultation Process





Consultation is an iterative process, not a single event
FirstNet will communicate the consultation process and
necessary roles and responsibilities
Consultation will focus on critical information and data
Plan development will be iterative
Consultation culminates with the creation of the state plan
Opt In Opt Out?
•
•
•
State Plan presented to governor, who will have 90 days
to decide whether or not to participate in the FirstNet
network (Opt-In/Opt-Out)
Opting out means the federal government won’t build
the network. States that opt out will have 180 days to
submit a plan of their own to the FCC and NTIA and will
be expected to pay for at least 20 percent of the cost
Process makes it difficult to opt out
FirstNet in Indiana
• Gov. Pence designated IPSC as the lead agency
• IPSC’s FirstNet mission
‐
‐
To gather information necessary to provide the Governor
with a recommendation to “Opt-In” or “Opt-Out”
To work with FirstNet during planning and consultation
and after the Governor’s decision
‐ To represent the best interests of Indiana as a
state and the best interests of local public safety
stakeholders
