DuPage ETSB Emergency Dispatch Interoperability Radio Project Presented to ETSB Radio Steering Committee January 27, 2011
2
Overview Starting New Project Phase – Beginning Implementation Phase of Project; (Majority of) work has been defined, budgets established, and schedules set Complexity Requires Oversight, Coordination – Multiple, interconnected sub-projects Finite Timeframe – Timeframe is constrained by regulation, seasons, ETSB objectives Actions Necessary – Remaining planning and decision making must be made promptly

Major Work Elements Emergency Dispatch Interoperability Radio Project Radio Network Infrastructure (STARCOM21) Wheaton OEM & Streamwood Sites Subscriber Units ETSB Network Reconfiguration PSAP Consolidation Consoles & Recorders Countywide Fire Paging Solution
4
Radio Network Infrastructure (STARCOM21) SCOPE: – STARCOM21 system enhancements to provide 95% Coverage, 12dB In-Building Penetration, 2% Grade-of-Service – DuPage cell comprises eight sites (including Wheaton OEM & Streamwood) – Work performed by Motorola and the STARCOM21 team – No direct ETSB involvement TIMELINE: Underway – October 2011 COST: “Impact Fee”, $5.4 MM PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: – Coverage testing during periods of full foliage – Wheaton OEM and Streamwood sites are essential, but have not yet been contracted
5
Wheaton OEM & Streamwood Sites SCOPE: Development of two existing RF sites for addition to STARCOM21 network TIMELINE: Underway – August 2011 COST: Budgetary Numbers Not Yet Finalized PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: – ETSB to share cost of development of Streamwood with NWCD – ETSB to coordinate site use negotiations between Motorola and DuPage County – DuPage County requirements have not been resolved – Sites are essential to meeting coverage and penetration requirements – Lengthy construction durations
6
Subscriber Units SCOPE: Multiple orders, shipments, distributions, training TIMELINE: Underway – March 2012 COST: $21.8 MM PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: – Talk-group template development is a priority – Subscriber deployment strategy includes multiple shipments of subscriber units completed EOY 2011
7
ETSB Network Reconfiguration SCOPE: Effort includes an assessment of the existing SONET data network, the determination of the requirements for future use by ETSB, integration with STARCOM21, and other county entities. – State-of-the-art technologies will be considered. TIMELINE: Stalled COST: TBD PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: – Services and service provider are being re-evaluated. – PSAP connections to STARCOM21 master site constrained by STARCOM21 system requirements
8
PSAP Consolidation SCOPE: TBD TIMELINE: TBD COST: TBD PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: – Known Consolidations Westmont/Downers Grove May 1 Woodridge, Lisle, Darien, Darien/Woodridge FPD to DU- COMM May 1 – Need to finalize balance of PSAP site locations
9
Consoles & Recorders SCOPE: New consoles, control stations and recorders at multiple PSAPs TIMELINE: Underway – December 2011 COST: $6.2 MM PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: – Some uncertainty regarding final PSAP count and configuration – Staging and cutover will be especially challenging for DU-COMM due to scale of operation and space constraints – Space preparation is the responsibility of the PSAP agency – Requires decisions on Talk Groups and Conventional Resources
10
Countywide Fire Paging Solution SCOPE: – Narrow-banding of existing VHF paging & toning system – Patch to STARCOM21 system TIMELINE: Goal is to coincide with overall project COST: $1.5 MM PRIORITIES, RISKS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: – Reimbursement program – Eligible agencies are responsible for implementing their solutions – Hardware and software patching solutions – Need to select which solution to implement – Funding available now, affected agencies should begin implementation immediately upon execution of IGA
11
Proposed Radio Steering Committee Assignments Talk-group template development – Requesting initial Recommendations w/in 30 Days Conventional resource prioritization and STARCOM21 port allocation Policies (as identified) Fire paging implementation Training
