Location: N257

Date: Wednesday, March 19

Time: 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

Track: Transportation & Logistics

Topics: LMR, P25, PTT, Regulatory & Legal + Standards

Format: Panel Session

Vault Recording: TBD

Come and see Project 25 Revealed through a concise overview and description of the Project 25 Standards, Interfaces and Capabilities in simple laymen's terms. Learn how P25 standard Interfaces create transportation agency interoperability links for planned large scale events, weather emergencies, as well as day to day operations.

Case studies of P25 Transportation Systems in Connecticut and Michigan will be offered by experienced P25 System Directors.

The Connecticut P25 Land mobile Radio Network (CLRN) offers Statewide interoperability for the State’s Department of Transportation, Connecticut based Transit (Bus) Systems, and a unique sharing application with Metro North Rail line and NY-based Metro North Police who cross the state line on a daily basis. The state-run bus system is a key part of the evacuation plan for the shoreline (hurricanes) as well as the resident nuclear power plant.

Michigan's P25 Public Safety Communications System (MPSCS) links Department of Transportation snowplows and other users statewide. In addition, the system serves numerous local transportation authorities including the Capitol Area Transit Authority Bus system.

The panel is designed for transportation users who want to learn more about LMR and P25 radio technology through the current P25 Systems Model. The alphabet soup of P25 terminology will be explained along with the various P25 Interfaces: ISSI, CSSI, DFSI, CAI. Interoperability using these P25 Interfaces will be covered.

Takeaway

  • What is P25?
  • What are the basic Interfaces defined by the P25 Suite of Standards?
  • How do the P25 Interfaces create state-wide interoperability for Transportation agencies in Connecticut and Michigan.
