SDO Emergency Services Workshop Indiana Wireless Direct Network Byron Smith
Introductions • Indiana Wireless Advisory Board • collects and distributes money • portfolio limited to wireless 911 • INdigital Telecom • Contractor for Indiana Wireless Direct Project • Byron Smith • Architect and Head Developer
Board Movers and Shakers improving wireless E911 • overseen by the State Treasurer • Tim Berry, outgoing Treasurer • Richard Mourdock, Treasurer elect • Ken Lowden - ENP,Executive Director
INdigital Telecom • Privately held Indiana Corporation • Owned by 11 Independent Telephone Companies • Facilities-based CLEC operating in Northeastern Indiana • A stakeholder in Indiana Fiber Network • Won the Indiana Wireless Advisory Board’s IWDN project in a competition
A bit about me • Came to Telecom in 1992 from academia • MS from Purdue (Computer Science), additional graduate work University of Illinois at Chicago • Recruited by Marc Linsner (and others) to Sprint, 15 years in public safety
Indiana Wireless Direct Project • Board unhappy with performance and cost of “grafted-on” wireless 911 solution • Board was aware of the Kansas city area MARC project • Hired L. Robert Kimball & Associates as consultants to do “wireless direct.”
History of the project • 2003 Kimball “Feasibility study” • 2004 RFI, responses, and competition • 2005 Contract negotiations and startup • 2006 Part I – “Crossroads” project (SS7 trunking and consolidation) • 2007 Part II – “IN911” project (IP network to PSAPs)
Original Wireless Network ILEC SR MSC MSC ILEC SR MSC ILEC SR MSC ILEC SR (32 MSCs) (17 ILEC SRs) (etc.) Wireless MSC to ILEC Selective Router Facilities
Crossroads trunk consolidation ILEC SR MSC New Selective routers SR ILEC SR MSC ILEC SR MSC SR ILEC SR MSC (32 MSCs) (15 ILEC SRs) b) SS7 links Crossroads Wireless MSC to ILEC SR Facilities
Stats and Status Indiana has: 11 wireless carriers 91 counties take 9-1-1 calls (Warren/Fountain are consolidated) 171 emergency communication centers (PSAPs) ~ 143 PSAPs take wireless 911 calls Crossroads handles 5000 – 7000 calls per day. Current info at: www.in911.net
IN911 network • All IP network • Meets NENA requirements for “NG 911” IP infrastructure: • Private, firewalled • Redundant • Diverse • Monitored
Gateway Secure Private Diverse Redundant IP Network PSAP MSC Gateway SR PSAP MSC PSAP SR PSAP Gateway MSC PSAP Gateway PSAP ALI DB Admin ALI DB SS7 links IN911 Network Components
IN911 Backbone • Dedicated STS-1 on diverse SONET fiber ring • Dedicated CISCO “RPR” ring • 16 “POP”s on ring, at least one POP in every LATA • No single-point of failure • Leased from Indiana Fiber Network

IN911 Status map • Real time, actual network status • Shows DS1s leaving backbone POP and interconnecting PSAPs • A mesh architecture • Economy: Redundancy at cost of less then 1.5 DS1s per PSAP, DS1 distance average width of county • http://www.in911.net/
Stats and Status • IN911 presently carries 25% of the daily traffic (1500 calls / day) • IN911 is in the “back room” of PSAPs in 63 of the 92 counties • IN911 currently delivers voice and ANI to ~ 40 PSAPs • IN911 currently delivers ALI data to ~ 25 PSAPs
IN911 protocols • IP: TCP, UDP, EIRGP, BGP, others • SIP, RTP, etc. • CPL • XML, HTTP, etc • SS7: TCAP, AIN, ISUP • And “traditional” CAMA/Enhanced MF, PAM, E2+, and RS-232 serial data!
Graphic visualization of live traffic • http://www.in911.net/ • And from recent history: http://www.quake.in911.net/
The bottom line… • nearly a million calls in 2006 • over two million calls in 2007 • average 6000 calls every 24 hours • improved call delivery speed, accuracy, redundancy, and lower cost • an infrastructure we can build on for the future.
Transitioning to Next Generation • Moving beyond 9.6k data and MF signaling • Creating redundancy, high availability • Road mapping the future • text messages to 911 • pictures to 911 • OnStar and ATX crash information to 911
Delivering expanded data Forklift upgrades aren’t an option Data delivery improvementsoffer a lower cost path to the future We want to get more information,and more accurate information onthe dispatch screen
