  4. What is the KWIEC? • Ky Wireless Interoperability Executive Committee *KWIEC* • KWIEC is the advisory body for all wireless communication strategies and projects. • KRS 42.734 – created KWIEC • KRS 42.736 – definitions for KRS 42.734,36,38 • KRS 42.738 – Defines the roles of the KWIEC ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 4

  10. 2010 Grant Cycle Priorities • Narrowbanding has been requested by the PSWG to be the priority for 2010 grant cycle. • Why Narrowbanding? ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 10

  11. Why do we need to worry about Narrow Banding ? • The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated that all non-Federal public safety licensees using 25 kHz radio systems migrate to narrowband 12.5 kHz channels by January 1, 2013. • Agencies that do not meet the deadline face the loss of communication capabilities. • To phase in the migration deadline of January 1, 2013, the FCC has established interim deadlines. The first important deadline is January 1, 2011, after which: • The FCC will not grant applications for new voice operations or applications to expand the authorized contour of existing stations that use 25 kHz channels. Only narrowband authorizations will be granted. • The FCC will prohibit manufacture or importation of new equipment that operates on 25 kHz channels. • From US Dept of Justice/Office of Justice Programs website ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 11

  12. What does this mean to the me? • Possible large fines. • Potential loss of functional radio systems. • FCC relicensing • Logistics of reprogramming and other infrastructure upgrades. • Upcoming purchases of new radio systems/networks. ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 12

  13. What happens if we do not comply with FCC Narrow Banding mandate? • Cancellation of non- narrowband license on Jan.1 2013. • $1000 per day per frequency for using non-licensed frequencies. • Examples: • Shelby – 28 frequencies $196,000 per week • Franklin – 30 frequencies $210,000 per week • Pike – 53 frequencies $371,000 per week • Fayette – 79 frequencies $553,000 per week • Marshall – 89 frequencies $623,000 per week ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 13

  14. P-25 • Office of Emergency Communication has set guidelines for the expenditure of FY2010 SAFECOM grant monies for communication equipment. The guidance states: Land Mobile Radio Systems All new digital voice systems must be compliant with the Project 25 (P25) suite of standards. This requirement is intended for government-owned or -leased digital land mobile public safety radio equipment. ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 14

  15. Bottom Line • If a digital radio system is purchased using state or federal funding, the radio must meet P-25 standards. • These requirements in no way affect analog radio systems. • These requirements will in no way impact locally funded projects. • Augmentations to existing digital radio systems will be reviewed and decided on a case by case basis. ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 15

  16. KWIEC P-25 definition • KWIEC defines a P-25 radio, as a radio able to provide P-25 functionality, new out of the box without any hardware or firmware upgrades. ©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky 16
