Helping Our Customers Through the Rebanding Process

1. Helping Our Customers Through the Rebanding Process Al IttnerSr.Manager Spectrum & Regulatory Strategy 847-576-3536 Al.Ittner@motorola.com

2. Getting Started • Determine the impact of rebanding on your system • Carefully analyze your system; consider doing a system inventory/audit • What frequencies are programmed in your radios • Both frequencies on your license and those used under sharing agreements • Find your category • A – Channels in first 150 only * (806.0125/851.0125 – 809.7375/854.7375) • B – Channels in NPSPAC only (821.0125/866.0125 – 823.9875/868.975) • C – Channels in NPSPAC and first 120 • D – Channels in Interleaved spectrum (809.7625/854.7625 – 815.9875/860.9875) * PS and CI in first 120 only

3. Retune/Reprogram/Replace/Update Definition • Retune: Updating the channel frequencies via the Customer Programming Software/Radio Service Software programming software • Reprogram: Updating operating software via software FLASH with new frequencies & band plan • Update: One or more boards must be replaced in the equipment to enable retuning or reprogramming • Replace: Cannot be updated to support new frequencies or band plans

Category A • System with channels from 806.0125 / 851.0125 to 809.7375 / 854.7375 • Relocates to channels from 809.7625 / 854.7625 to 816.9875 / 861.9875 • Does not have any NPSPAC channels including Mutual Aid programmed in radio • Equipment impact • Radio units can be retuned to new frequencies • Radios in red are class B IM protection. Motorola recommends replacing those units for better interference protection* * Costs to replace radios that can be retuned or reprogrammed will be the responsibility of the licensee

5. Reprogram Subscriber XTS5000 XTS2500 XTS1500 XTS3000 MCS2000 MTS2000 (512k) ASTRO Saber (1MB) ASTRO Spectra (>95) XTL5000 Category B Replace Subscriber • System with NPSPAC channels from 821.0125/866.0125 to 823.9875/868.9875 • Relocates to rechanneled 806.0125/851.0125 – 808.9875/853.9875 • 821/866-824/869 MHz must be reflashed with new radio software to operate in 806/851-809/854 MHz • All radios must be retuned. The radios must be reprogrammed with a new RSS/CPS programming software to support new channels Spectra Spectra E Saber SI STX Gemini Plus MTX 820 MaxTrac LCS 2000 LTS 2000 MTS2000 (256k) ASTRO Saber (512k) ASTRO Spectra (<96) Update Vocon Reprogram following Vocon Update: MTS2000 (256k) ASTRO Saber (512k) ASTRO Spectra (<96)

6. Category C • Channels in both NPSPAC and the first 120 channels • May be a multi-step process • Move of first 120 channels is a retune • Second move will require reprogram and/or replace • All radios with NPSPAC channels must be reflashed with new radio software to operate in 806/851 - 809/854 MHz • All radios must be retuned. The radios must be reprogrammed with a new RSS/CPS programming software to support new channels

7. Category D • At this time, no impact; however • Public Safety licensees on channels 815.0125/860.0125 to 815.9875/860.9875 can relocate if desired to frequencies below 815/860 MHz. • Retune only if move

8. Motorola Services Can Help

9. How to Ensure Successful Rebanding • Understand individual system specifics • Generate customized plan • Extended network of support services • Validation of network operation after completion

10. Customized Management Services • Inventory – as needed • Assessment of existing equipment • Can it be Retuned / Reprogrammed? • Must it be updated or replaced? • Evaluate the impact to your operation • Evaluate impact on interoperability with neighboring systems • Develop Cost Information • Coordinate with Transition Administrator • Provide overall Project Management

11. Available Engineering Services • Baseline current system operation • Including Coverage ATP – as needed (mainly simulcast) • System Design • Frequency compatibility • Intermod (IM) studies • Detailed cut over plan • Method of Procedure (MOP)

12. Perform System Rebanding • Coordinate/Execute • Subscriber changes • Infrastructure changes • Site upgrades and antenna systems installation -- when necessary • Perform final Acceptance Test Plan

13. Determine If This Is A Good Time To Upgrade • Do you have an aging system? • Do you need Project 25 capabilities? • You will be touching your system in order to reband • You will be getting some amount of money to reband • You can minimize disruption by putting in a new system vs. rebanding a live system

14. ASTRO 25 System Family Specs • Our Project 25 system portfolio now covers breadth of systems • Trunked and Conventional • Provides Standards-based Interoperability • Most subscribers can operate in SMARTNET/SZ and ASTRO25 • Integrated Voice and Data available • Enables addition of advanced data services
