3. State-wide Communications System for Law Enforcement and Public Safety “Moving Ahead” Dan Brown, Project Director

4. Overview: This site visit is designed to share the strategic project plan and begin the development of a strategic implementation and operations plan around wireless interoperability. This is an iterative process that will take place over the course of next few months. There are four main goals : » Communicate the state objectives for the project. » Define the problems of wireless interoperability with respect to this project with respect to the users group. » Prioritize key local issues and collect approval. » Prepare for design and production using a site survey tool.

5. Definition n Interoperability is the ability of public safety service and support providers to communicate with each other via voice and/or data: n On demand n In real time n When needed n When authorized

6. The System…How It Works $300 Million
