  1. COPS 2007 Technology Program Advanced Training Workshops Project 25 Status and the P25 Compliance Assessment Program Dereck Orr Program Manager for Public Safety Communications Office of Law Enforcement Standards, NIST

  2. Project 25 Standards are Focused on Achieving Goals that Benefit the Public Safety Community

  3. However, There are Eight P25 Interfaces to be Standardized Dispatch Console (CAI) (CAI) Console SubsystemInterface (CSSI) (FSSI) Portable Radios Common AirInterface(CAI) TelephoneInterconnect Interface Subscriber DataPeripheral Interface Data Network Interface RF Subsystem A Base Station orFixed Station Radio Mobile Radio Network Mgmt. Interface Inter-RFSubsystemInterface (ISSI) RF Subsystem B

  4. There are Four P25 Interfaces Being Focused on Right Now • The interfaces that are key to interoperability • CAI: The Common Air Interface • ISSI: The Inter-subsystem Interface • Two other important interfaces • CSSI: The Console Subsystem Interface • FSSI: The Fixed Station Subsystem Interface

  5. The P25 Compliance Assessment Program (P25 CAP)

  6. Roles and Responsibilities • DHS Office of Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC) • Sets overall policy for the P25 CAP program • Recognizes assessed labs to participate in the program • Maintains clearinghouse of manufacturer Supplier’s Declaration of Compliance and test reports participating in the program • NIST Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) • Performs laboratory assessments and provides recommendation for recognition to DHS OIC

  7. Guiding Principles • Independent oversight • Auditable processes • Definition of compliance jointly developed by users and manufacturers • Content of declarations and reports jointly defined by users and manufacturers

  8. Independent Oversight • Independent labs: • 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-party labs to participate • NIST defined processes based on international best practices: • ISO/IEC 17011, 17025, 17050 • Recognition in lieu of accreditation • Laboratories assessed by independent parties prior to participation

  9. Auditability • Labs and/or manufacturers subject to periodic audits • Product change control logs required of participating P25 manufacturers Intended to ensure ongoing quality processes and sound documentation practices to promote repeatable testing

  10. Supplier’s Declarations of Compliance

  11. Summary Test Report Notional Summary Test Report

  12. Program Status • Formation of the DHS P25 CAP Governing Board • Development of key program publications • DHS P25 CAP Charter • NIST Handbook 153 • DHS P25 Compliance Assessment Bulletins (CABS) • The P25 CAP has begun taking applications from interested labs • Beginning to schedule lab assessment visits • The expectation is to have the first batch of recognized labs sometime in late-winter/early-spring 2009
