Minnesota Public Safety Interoperable Communications
Conference
Tuesday, April 17 - 1:30 p.m.
Managing Transition to ARMER
APCO P25 digital radio is becoming increasingly popular as a
communications tool for public safety agencies throughout the world. This
session will provide an overview of the current state of P25 and how it differs
from analog radios most users may be familiar with. Firstly, the session will
review the relevant P25 standards, interfaces and certification bodies and
regimes. Secondly, the session will address implications for decision
makers: interoperability is about more than just open standards. The session
will also review reasons why sometimes different manufacturers’ equipment
does not work on a P25 system, and the issues encountered in
implementing a multi-vendor P25 network. The significance of the P25
Compliance Assessment Program (P25 CAP) will be explained as an
example of how the industry is addressing interoperability issues. Finally we
will discuss practical gains and experience from agencies that have sourced
terminals from multiple vendors.
