Request for Project InitiationPublic Safety Radio Modernization Assessment NM DOIT PCC Presentation March 27, 2013 Mike Neitzey
Public Safety Radio Modernization Assessment: Vision • 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.
Assessment Components • 700MHz Spectrum Analysis • Capabilities Assessment • Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis • Plans
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
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
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
Plans • 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
This request: • Release of $450K to secure professional services to: • Perform the 700MHz Spectrum Analysis ($47K) • Capabilities Assessment ($431K)
