  1. Public Safety Radio Modernization Assessment Mike Neitzey, Program Manager Department of Information Technology August 28, 2013

  2. Modernization Assessment • The existing LMR architecture is decades old and in dire needs of a comprehensive upgrade. • In conjunction with the build out of SIRCITS and narrow banding, this is an ideal time to pursue a comprehensive LMR modernization to provide operability and interoperability to meet local, state, federal needs and requirements.

  3. Assessment Components • 700MHz Spectrum Analysis • Capabilities Assessment • Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis • Strategic Plans & Budget

  4. 700MHz Spectrum Analysis • LTE Pilot: Approx. 7 sites in border area • CBP sites: Santa Theresa, Los Rios • State Police sites: Las Cruces, Deming • Little Florida and two “floating areas” • Several D-block sub-bands shared with Mexico • Need to assess any current use of channels before proceeding with pilot • Perform on-site frequency surveys/spectrum monitoring • Use for the LTE pilot project

  5. Capabilities Assessment • Review existing LMR capabilities • State agencies: NM DPS, NMDOT, NMDGF, NMCD, EMNRD, NMEMS, DHSEM • Local agencies • Albuquerque PD, Bernalillo Co. Sheriff/Emergency Mgmt/Consolidated Fire • Sandoval and Santa Fe Cos. Sheriff/Emergency Mgmt • Additional counties as needed: Eddy, Dona Ana, Luna, Otero, San Juan, and Socorro • Dispatch and site surveys, coverage analysis • Spectrum, capacity, interoperability assessment

  6. Needs Assessment & Gap Analysis • Conduct needs assessment interviews • State agencies • Local participants • Federal agencies • Perform gap analysis • Among agencies • Based on current capabilities • From unmet needs • Needs assessment will form basis of requirements for design task

  7. Plans & Budgets • Identify goals, objectives, strategies, and actions to plan, budget, and implement improvement programs • Identify time-phased initiatives • Tied to specific prioritized objectives • To meet state and DoIT goals for public safety communications • That identify lead/responsible and participating departments and agencies • Support legislative budgeting process

  8. This request: • Release of remaining $1M to secure professional services contracts to: • Complete the Capabilities Assessment ($492K) • Conduct a Needs Assessment & Gap Analysis (324.9K) • Develop the Strategic Plans & Budget (367K)
