Agenda. Current situation
E N D
1. National Communications System (NCS)ESF #2 Training Conference VoIP/RoIP in Mission Critical CommunicationsWhat you need to know now
2. Agenda Current situation – How IP is used today
Solutions for emergency communications
Emergency response requirements
Comparison of alternatives by DHS interoperability level
Real world examples
The Future of RoIP and VoIP
3. Public Safety Requirements Solutions must:
Maintain and enhance mission critical operations – public safety command & control, high-level security, 5-9s availability
Be easy to use for day to day mission as well as special emergency events
Cost effectiveness
Interoperability
Compatibility
Interchangeability
4. Unique Public Safety Needs “Instant on” and always available
Not having coverage impacts lives
Have reliable integrated dispatch consoles
Security from hackers and unauthorized users
View communication device as work tool
Functionally Ergonomic
Rugged reduces “down time”
Must last 12 hour shift
Can’t be limited to one network
Many of them
And back upsMany of them
And back ups
5. VoIP Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network
One to one service
Implementation requires a mechanism to ensure that data packets are delivered in sequential order and provide Quality of Service guarantees
6. Current IP Use in Radio Connects Radio Systems
Allows different types of users to talk
May not pass features
Relies on central servers
Does not improve coverage
Best effort
IP interoperability solutions are not interoperable amongst themselves
7. RoIP
8. IP is the Backbone of Today’s Communications
9. Commercial IP Can SatisfyBasic Requirements…
10. But more is needed for Mission Critical Communications
11. How VoIP is Used Now Use VoIP to allow dispatchers to communicate with each other.
Could be within one dispatch center or between many separate dispatch centers
ISSI Phase I - IP to Mission Critical Voice core (ISSI)
ISSI Phase II - P25 Console Sub-System Interface (CSSI)
12. VoIP/RoIP Perspectives Per NIST Emergency Response (Public Safety) Perspective:
To backup mission critical land mobile systems
Has not been widely deployed in mission critical situations
For dispatch to dispatch communications
Using it to connect remote towers back to the main system
Industry Perspective:
For using radio control VoIP (primary and secondary) interoperability, to monitor radio channels
Mobile command units sending VoIP over satellite
Wide area systems – anywhere you have to distribute repeaters/radios beyond a typical microwave system
To leverage IP networks to bridge new systems
For microwave installations on radio systems
To digitize voice for transport between locations
14. Interoperability According to Department of Homeland Security Last but certainly not least…with critical input from the public safety community, SAFECOM created the Interoperability Continuum as a tool for guiding efforts of local, tribal, state and federal policy makers addressing interoperability. A copy of the Continuum has been included in the handout packages for your reference.
As you see, the Continuum identifies five critical elements of success – governance, standard operating procedures, technology, training and exercises, and usage of interoperable communications – that must be addressed to develop a sophisticated interoperability solution.
In doing so, the Continuum allows public safety agencies to evaluate their progress in each of the five areas.
The fact that the bands merge along the right side also underscores that these elements are interdependent. For example, if a local or regional agency procures new equipment (under the red band), it will need to plan training and conduct exercises before it can effectively use that equipment.
The brochure you have in your packets provides even greater detail on each of the key elements.
The Continuum is a living document that SAFECOM will update on an on-going basis. It is available our website at www.safecomprogram.gov.

15. Interoperability Techniques
16. Level 4: Gateway Hardware component that sits between two networks – Converts audio to VoIP protocol
RF or wired audio links connect systems
Provides audio only, no system specific features Slide 16Slide 16
17. State of Florida MOTOBRIDGE Phase 1 installed in 2004
229 MOTOBRIDGE dispatch positions throughout the State
Over 800 resources and radio interfaces connected through the IP network
20. Security Privacy
Only authorized people can understand the message
Integrity
You can tell if the message has been changed
Authentication
Making sure that a user is who they claim to be
Authorization
Only specifically authorized people can access the system(s)
Non-repudiation
When a user does something, there is legal proof that the user did it
21. Key Takeaways Three summary bullets …
VoIP and RoIP are complimentary of P25
Mission Critical wireless networks utilize P25 Standards -1000 user defined features.
There is a lot of work that needs to be done to utilize RoIP in a Mission Critical Network.
