Explore new hardware and software developments that simplify and lower the cost of tracking the sources of RF Interference (RFI) and intentional jamming across multiple RF channels in Public Safety radio networks. Join our team of industry experts as we discuss the latest techniques to increase the Probability of Intercept (POI) of even brief interfering signals to within half a mile, decode P25 signals to distinguish between friendly, hostile, and unintentional RF transmissions, and using alarms to reduce response time.

We'll break down the case of College Station, a site in Texas which experienced control channel blocking in an 800MHz trunked P25 system for over a year without a solution. Examine the challenges faced by the local teams, the solutions and procedures implemented to quickly isolate and locate the source and how alarm monitoring could have saved countless hours over the year spent detecting and resolving these issues.

This session will leave you not only better informed on the tools and methods used to solve modern interference problems in all its forms, but also with the knowledge to detect and act on early signs of interference before it disrupts your critical services, and how to document RFI occurrences.

Takeaway

● Recognize the importance of immediate interference notifications to stay ahead of growing interference problems and prevent straining local resources.
● Protect and optimize your network by decoding P25 radios, accurately discerning between known and unknown (rogue) units and actual RFI.
● Leverage the latest in new technology to cut the time, cost, and complexity of interference mitigation compared to traditional methods.
● Apply lessons from our real-world case studies that contrast legacy detection methods of yesterday with the advanced techniques of tomorrow.
