  1. DuPage ETSB Emergency Dispatch Interoperability Radio Project Presented to ETSB Radio Steering Committee January 27, 2011

  2. Overview • Starting New Project Phase – Beginning Implementation Phase of Project; (Majority of) work has been defined, budgets established, and schedules set • Complexity Requires Oversight, Coordination – Multiple, interconnected sub-projects • Finite Timeframe – Timeframe is constrained by regulation, seasons, ETSB objectives • Actions Necessary – Remaining planning and decision making must be made promptly

  3. Major Work Elements

  4. Radio Network Infrastructure (STARCOM21) • SCOPE: • STARCOM21 system enhancements to provide 95% Coverage, 12dB In-Building Penetration, 2% Grade-of-Service • DuPage cell comprises eight sites (including Wheaton OEM & Streamwood) • Work performed by Motorola and the STARCOM21 team – No direct ETSB involvement • TIMELINE: Underway – October 2011 • COST: “Impact Fee”, $5.4 MM • PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • Coverage testing during periods of full foliage • Wheaton OEM and Streamwood sites are essential, but have not yet been contracted

  5. Wheaton OEM & Streamwood Sites • SCOPE: Development of two existing RF sites for addition to STARCOM21 network • TIMELINE: Underway – August 2011 • COST: Budgetary Numbers Not Yet Finalized • PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • ETSB to share cost of development of Streamwood with NWCD • ETSB to coordinate site use negotiations between Motorola and DuPage County • DuPage County requirements have not been resolved • Sites are essential to meeting coverage and penetration requirements • Lengthy construction durations

  6. Subscriber Units • SCOPE: Multiple orders, shipments, distributions, training • TIMELINE: Underway – March 2012 • COST: $21.8 MM • PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • Talk-group template development is a priority • Subscriber deployment strategy includes multiple shipments of subscriber units completed EOY 2011

  7. ETSB Network Reconfiguration • SCOPE: Effort includes an assessment of the existing SONET data network, the determination of the requirements for future use by ETSB, integration with STARCOM21, and other county entities. • State-of-the-art technologies will be considered. • TIMELINE: Stalled • COST: TBD • PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • Services and service provider are being re-evaluated. • PSAP connections to STARCOM21 master site constrained by STARCOM21 system requirements

  8. PSAP Consolidation • SCOPE: TBD • TIMELINE: TBD • COST: TBD • PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • Known Consolidations • Westmont/Downers Grove   May 1 • Woodridge, Lisle, Darien, Darien/Woodridge FPD to DU-COMM  May 1 • Need to finalize balance of PSAP site locations

  9. Consoles & Recorders • SCOPE: New consoles, control stations and recorders at multiple PSAPs • TIMELINE: Underway – December 2011 • COST: $6.2 MM • PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • Some uncertainty regarding final PSAP count and configuration • Staging and cutover will be especially challenging for DU-COMM due to scale of operation and space constraints • Space preparation is the responsibility of the PSAP agency • Requires decisions on Talk Groups and Conventional Resources

  10. Countywide Fire Paging Solution • SCOPE: • Narrow-banding of existing VHF paging & toning system • Patch to STARCOM21 system • TIMELINE: Goal is to coincide with overall project • COST: $1.5 MM • PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: • Reimbursement program – Eligible agencies are responsible for implementing their solutions • Hardware and software patching solutions – Need to select which solution to implement • Funding available now, affected agencies should begin implementation immediately upon execution of IGA

  11. Proposed Radio Steering Committee Assignments • Talk-group template development – Requesting initial Recommendations w/in 30 Days • Conventional resource prioritization and STARCOM21 port allocation • Policies (as identified) • Fire paging implementation • Training
