Hi out there,

Jan Geert described in his article a trunked mobile radio system. In
my opinion it is an implementation of the MPT 1327. This standard was
defined by the British Ministry of Post and Telecommunication (MPT),
Department of Trade and Industry, Radiocommunications Division in
1988. The standard was overtaken by several European states, at least
France and Germany. In Germany the "Deutsche Bundespost Telekom' has
licensed in several regions (e.g. in the "Ruhrgebiet") trunked mobile
radio systems.

Whatever it is, I'm absolutely sure it isn't anything even close
MPT1327/ MPT1343.

Basically the MPT system behaves quite like your plain ole' analogue
cellular. On every site there is a control channel telling the mobiles
all sorts of tales about the system. In call setup the mobile contacts
the system on the control channel and a traffic channel isn't
allocated for the call until the B party answers (this is the main
difference from cellular). However, when the call is set up, it stays
always on the same channel.

What I remember of the Motorola system from an article somebody posted
here (or in comp.dcom.telecom) a while ago, it really trunks the
calls.  Every transmission starts with a short signalling sequence
where the mobile IDs and tells the system where to send that
transmission. No special traffic channel is allocated to any call but
you have to wait until the signalling ends.

So, in my opinion, it sounds like Motorola.

BTW. we have a MPT 1327 system called AutoNet here in Finland on 450
MHz.  It is operated by the private regional telephone companies. In
1989 when I started with my current job, I suppose I was the first man
in the whole organisation to be occupied full-time in setting up
AutoNet...;-)

Dave,

I am sending you a paper titled: "Considerations For Acquiring A
Public Safety Trunk Radio System."  It should follow this mail message.
We can talk about it when you have time.  I think we should look into
getting a consultant as soon as possible.  We need to begin the
process of building up confidence in this system. 

     I recommend that we ask an independent consultant for a RFQ on
the newly proposed 800 MHz., trunking system.  I will be sending you a
paper in the next couple of days to justify my position.  The title of
the paper is, "CONSIDERATIONS FOR ACQUIRING A PUBLIC SAFETY TRUNK
RADIO SYSTEM".  I think the time is right for us to be aggressive with
this issue.  If we are not aggressive and assume control, we may pay
for it later.  Perhaps other campuses will follow our lead.  More
later.

                               TITLE:

           CONSIDERATIONS FOR ACQUIRING A PUBLIC SAFETY
                         TRUNK RADIO SYSTEM



                            INTRODUCTION

     A trunk radio system is a radio system classically different
from most conventional land mobile radio systems.  This article
will explore some of the key differences between trunked and
conventional radio systems.   These differences require purchases
of trunked radio systems to explore alternate means of acquiring
these systems.   This article will present some of these
techniques.   While this article addresses systems government
procurement acquired through negotiated, qualifying, proposal or
competitive procurement policies, these techniques can be
applied to systems which are not required to follow competetive
procurements.   For example, SMRs, and Utilities systems.


                    WHAT IS TRUNKED RADIO?

     A trunk radio system can be viewed like a "telephone
switchboard in the sky".   The trunking concept disassociates the
user from a dedicated radio channel.  Trunking is a computer
controlled system whereby groups of users with a common interest
can share a radio system.  They are on solitary and dedicated
talk channels.  In fact, a trunk radio system is much like the
land based telephone system.  Land based telephone or its
cellular radio extension consists of a dedicated person-to-person
conversation sharing facilities with others.   In trunking, groups
of users talk together much like the old party line telephone
system.  Trunking systems have many specialized options such as
paging and telephone interconnect that adds flexibility to the
System.  The point is that the radio channels are not dedicated
to the users group.  The users are in groups or systems and their
radio channel use is transparent to the users.  In this way,
traffic sharing improves radio spectrum utilization.  The benefit
is both the intermittent use of channels and the time of day
demand shifts of user groups.  For example, on a local Government
system during normal working hour Utility, Public Works, and
Administration typically may have higher volume communication
needs lower than Police, Fire, and Rescue users who may
have relatively lower communication needs.  During the evening
and night time hour of high Public Safety incidents, the
operating groups of Utilities, Public Works, and Administration
are normally shut down with little or no demand for communications.

     Because of its computer controlled nature, a specific
compensated feature exists.  For example, a group may be altered
and integrated into larger groups comprised of groups from
different agencies.  The trunking system could consist of only
public safety, a whole City-Wide system, a Utility system, or a
shared ownership system between governmental entities.  This is
referred to as partitioning a system.

 
                  WHAT MAKES TRUNKING DIFFERENT?

     Trunked radio systems are different From conventional radio
systems in several key respects.

     o The first characteristic is a large up-front cost.
       Although recently there have been some modifications
       regarding a lower entry level, there remains a higher up-
       front fixed cost than most conventional systems.

     o Unit add ons (mobile, personal, and control station
       radios) are locked into the land based vendor or its
       licensed agents.  Therefore, you cannot do extensive
       comparative shopping after making a commitment on the land
       based system supplier.

     o No one particular user group directly owns or has claims
       on the radio frequency or hardware; it is shared by the
       groups.  This means the groups have a common ownership
       (system controller).

     o The add-on units can be more expensive than typical low
       band, high-band or 450 MHz units because of their locked-
       in nature and their more sophisticated computer controlled
       capability.  However, low end trunk units can be purchased
       for approximately the cost of high end convertional system
       units.

                     THE NEED FOR A CONSULTANT

     When deciding to enter into the trunk radio system market,
it is to the owner's advantage to have an outside consultant of
some nature.  You may need a technical consultant, negotiating
consultant, contracting consultant, or a financial consultant.
It is unusual for the owner to have all the in-house capability
needed to procure and install a complex system of this type.  If
the owner does have all the in-house capability needed, then
their activity level must be assessed to determine the time they
will have to devote to the project.

     What kind of consultant should the owner decide upon?
Following is a logical sequence to follow on how to determine the
type of service that will be required.  The owner must look at
his organization and the time availability of the personnel on
staff and consider the following questions.

     o Do you have adequate personnel to perform the financial
       analysis?

     o Do you have adequate personnel to negotiate and monitor
       the contract?

     o Do you have adequate personnel to follow the inspection of
       the construction phase?

     o Do you have the in-depth technical capability needed to
       define the needs, select the vendor, negotiate and assist
       in the installation of the system?

     Once you determine the capability and availability of your
personnel, then you can supplement your staff with an appropriate
outside consultant.  How do you proceed to acquire a consultant?
Depending on the area of expertise required, there are various
professional organizations comprised of members with expertise in
contracting, negotiations, or professional engineering.  Usually
you can find an organization whose members provide the kind of
service you will require.  You should shop around and arrive at a
list of firms to be considered as your consultant.

     If you are selecting or desiring to hire a technical
consultant, two criteria should receive strong consideration.
First, the firm should be comprised of professional engineers
properly styled and duly registered in both the state in which
you operate and the state in which they reside.  By selecting a
firm with professional engineers, you are assured that the
personnel have the proper certification and have proven to
possess the necessary skills for a project of this magnitude.
Secondly the consultant should be a member of the Association of
Federal Communications Consulting Engineers (AFCCE).  This is a
nationally recogized organization with a commonalty of
expertise.  To qualify, the members must be registered as a 
professional engineer and have a substantial portion of their
practice in Federal Communications Commission matters.  If you
follow this tenet, you can be assured that the individual being
considered is not just a normal engineer attempting to perform a
task while not having any creditable communications regulatory
experience.  The AFCCE is much akin to the communication bar.
Since radio systems are licensed by the FCC, being a memher of
the AFCCE certainly should give the owner additional piece of
mind.

     Direct and indirect conflict of interest should be explored
of all consultants.  Direct conf1ict normally is interpreted as a
business affiliation such an ownership relationship of a system
supplier (hardware, services or software).  Indirect conflict is
normally considered a client relationship, in some form, with a
system supplier.  The full role of the consultant's requirements
should be assessed; whether the Consultant plays only a
negotiating role, a negotiating and contracting role, or a
follow-up role regarding construction monitoring and contract
administration.  It should be discussed up front whether the
owner anticipates a need for a resident inspector or resident
construction coordinator since, invariably, you may become
involved in building re-modifications or site acquisitions, and
new construction.

                 SELECTION OF A CONSULTANT

     Selection of a Consultant is a difficult task.  Usually, the
Consultant submits credentials, a scope of services and a
compensation plan which is reviewed by a Communication Committee.
However, ultimately, the relationship between the communications
committee or project manager and the consultant will determine
whether it will be a long term satisfactory relationship or not.
A face-to-face conversation or interview is imperative in the
selection process.

                     COST VALUE OF CONSULTANTS

     There are several ways of structuring the fee schedule for a
consultant.  The fee structure can be on a level of effort basis,
an on-call fee basis (retainer), or a percent of construction
basis as determined by a suitable method.  The Virginia Society
of Professional Engineers has developed a fee curve as shown on
Figure 1 which can be used to determine the consultant's fee
based on the cost ot the system.  This curve is applied only to
the cost of equipment and installation of the system, and does
not cover feasibility studies, regulatory work, public hearings,
or resident activity.  Typically, trunk systems are multi-million
dollar procurements ranging from 1-15 million dollars.
Therefore, fees will vary accordingly, dependling on the size of
the system and effort desired of the consultant.

     Sometimes the prospective owner will be falsely led in by a
major supplier who offers to "give away" consulting services.
Their justification is that they know their own system and can
provide the best advice on how to use the system.  In reality
[while they know their equipment they are in the business of
optimizing the selling of equipment.  A consultant would be
funded by the owner and would be responsible for being sure that
the owner gets the best deal possible.  With independent
expertise, there is parity in the business relationship.

     The owner must recognize in the budgetary process that the
cost of consultant fees are an integrated part of the project and
must be so recognized.  The only decision is to determine now the
funds will be deployed; for in-house resources, outside help, or
rework prices from the supplier.


                    SPECIFYING AND CONTRACTING SYSTEMS

     The classic method of specifying land mobile systems (such as,
area & time 90/90 or 95/95 coverage reliability) do not apply
satisfactorily in the 800/900 MHZ. trunk bands.  This is due to the
core coverage problems in the buildings and underground
coverage (underground Parking garages, Mass Transit subways, 
tunnels, etc.), and the increasing desire of public safety 
systems to provide highly reliable personal coverage into these
areas.  It is best if the contracting personnel and the system
supplier are on a parity technical base regarding understanding
what is and is not reasonable.  Joint agreement on the location
and number of sites, and the antenna configuration is imperative.
Later, depending upon what the real world results are, both sides
can approach solutions in a joint manner and possibly share the 
costs in any supplemental activity.  If special coverage into
large shielded areas are required (such as underground shopping
malls, metro tunnels, core buildings & large parking garage
areas), innovative research and development may be required and
separately installed subsystems may be required to tie these
areas into the overall system.

     Because of the lock-in nature of the procurement, the owner
must be protected in some way for future add-ons.  There are at
least two proven ways that the owner can be protected on a
contracting basis.  The first, is a type of an equal nations or
favored nations (favored customer) clause applicable three to
seven years after the acceptance of the procurement.  In this
way when the prices vary in the marketplace, the owner can
either reap the rewards or the penalties as the market prices
changes.  Secondly, an extended discount structure can be
developed dependent upon the number and types of units, or
incremental dollar value.

     There should be penalties in the contract appropriate to the
size and conditions of the contract.  A small contract should not 
have a large penalty.  Using the same theory, a large contract
should not have such a small penalty that the vendor can ignore it.

                   RELATIONSHIP AND AUTHORITY

     The consulting firm can basically play two roles.  The
consulting firm can be an agent for the owner much like an
architect dealing with the contractor. The agent can speak for
the owner with some limited authority; or the consultant may be a
staff augmentation to the owner who already has its own project
manager.  Because of the size and complexity of these trunk
systems, with the need for building, remodeling, and site
acquisition, the project management team appears most useful when
parties get serious about a trunking system. Early
acknowledgement of the approved project team minimizes in most
cases vendor transition problems from their sales organization to
their implementation organization.


                      TYPES OF FINANCING

     In large systems, there are basically three forms of
financing.  The owner must first decide which one is most
appropriate for his organization.  One approach is a lease
approach or a lease/purchase approach.  Secondly, progress
payments with some retainer and a final payoff when the system
works satisfactorily is acceptable.  Lastly, third party 
construction/financing may be applicable.  This type of financing
may delay final payment of the system.  An example of this is
when the third party will provide the construction lending and
maybe even carries the system for the use to the owner a certain
period or time after system acceptance.  Then, when the owner's
cash flow permits, there could be a final payoff of the third
party financing.

                         CONCLUSION

     This paper has outlined some potential pitfalls and
significant matters which a prospective owner of an 800 MHz trunk
system should consider before embarking into these activities.
Above all, thoroughness of planning the whole procurement and
implementation process is most appropriate; considering the new
technologies, the new business relationships, and the complexity
of the activity.  A well based technical consulting firm with
expertise in Procurement, Negotiation, Project Management, and
Financial Analysis will enhance a smooth transition and
installation of the system.

                                   PHASE ONE

   7.1 STEP ONE

      INVOLVES THE COLLECTION OF DATA, FOLLOWED BY AN ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
      OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF MAJOR
      DEFICIENCIES.  ALSO INVOLVES CONDUCTING ONE (1) TO THREE (3) ORAL
      PRESENTATIONS OR 800 MHz INFORMATION SEMINARS FOR: TELECOMMUNICATIONS
      SERVICES, UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT AND OTHER STAFF.  THIS TASK WILL DEVELOP
      THE BASELINE DATA NECESSARY FOR THE ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION.  THE
      EXISTING RADIO SYSTEM(S) THEIR EQUIPMENT, AND OPERATIONS MUST BE
      INSPECTED AND DOCUMENTED.  THE CURRENT EQUIPMENT INVENTORY WILL BE
      VALIDATED.  DATA COLLECTED WILL INCLUDE FCC LICENSE INFORMATION,
      FREQUENC(IES) IN USE; EQUIPMENT TYPE, MODEL, AND AGE; TRANSMIT POWER;
      EFFECTIVENESS OF EXISTING RADIO COVERAGE; AND CO-CHANNEL AND ADJACENT
      CHANNEL INTERFERENCE PROBLEMS (IF ANY).

      THE CULMINATIONS OF STEP 1 WILL BE A DESCRIPTION OF THE EXISTING
      SYSTEM(S) AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LIST OF DEFICIENCIES OUTLINING MAJOR
      DEFECTS WITHIN IT.

      7.1.1     WHERE IS WORK TO BE PERFORMED?  DATA COLLECTION WORK IS TO BE
                PERFORMED ON SITE.

  7.2 STEP TWO

      IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SERIES OF NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS STATEMENTS
      ADDRESSING THE OPERATIONAL, FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL, AND ORGANIZATIONAL
      CONSIDERATIONS IN IMPLEMENTING THE 800 MHz PUBLIC SAFETY TRUNKED RADIO
      SYSTEM.  UNDER STEP 2, THE CONSULTANT WILL CONFER WITH KEY UNIVERSITY OF
      CALIFORNIA, PERSONNEL, UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT AND OTHER STAFF TO OBTAIN
      STATEMENTS OF BASIC NEEDS FOR THE PRESENT, MEDIUM- AND LONG-TERM.  THIS
      WORK WILL BE DONE IN CLOSE CONSULTATION WITH UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES WHO
      WILL BE IDENTIFIED AFTER CONTRACT SIGNING TO ENSURE THAT THE REQUIREMENTS
      ARE A TRUE REFLECTION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S NEEDS.  THIS TASK MUST BE
      CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THE WHOLE STUDY SINCE THE
      COMBINED REQUIREMENTS STATEMENTS WILL BE UTILIZED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
      THE VARIOUS MODELS FOR THE NEW COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.

      STATISTICAL INFORMATION MUST BE COLLECTED TO DETERMINE CURRENT AND
      PROJECTED SYSTEM TRAFFIC LOADING.  BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, A
      COMPOSITE SET OF FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE GENERATED.  THE
      FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS WILL CONCENTRATE ON WHAT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED,
      NOT ON WHAT TYPES OF EQUIPMENT OR "BLACK BOXES" MIGHT BE CHOSEN.  AT THIS
      STAGE, FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE KEPT SEPARATE FROM SPECIFIC
      SYSTEMS DESIGN AND HARDWARE RECOMMENDATIONS.

      CONSULTANT SHALL CONFER WITH THE SENIOR ENGINEERS FROM: ERICSSON GE
      MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS, INC; E. F. JOHNSON RADIO COMMUNICATION PRODUCTS
      AND SYSTEMS; AND MOTOROLA COMMUNICATIONS AND ELECTRONICS, INC.  THESE
      MEETINGS ARE TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF STEP TWO (2).  THE
      PURPOSE OF THESE MEETINGS IS TO GUARANTEE THAT THE CONSULTANT IS AWARE OF
      THE LATEST SYSTEM UPGRADES OFFERED BY THE MAJOR SYSTEM SUPPLIERS.

  7.3 STEP THREE

      IS TO DEVELOP A GROUP OF ALTERNATIVES FOR THE NEW SYSTEM, ALONG WITH A
      DISCUSSION OF THE ALTERNATIVES AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS. 

      THIS STEP MUST UTILIZE THE RESULTS OF PREVIOUS TASKS TO DEVELOP THREE (3)
      OR MORE SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES, EACH CAPABLE OF SOLVING THE IDENTIFIED
      PROBLEM TO DIFFERENT DEGREES OF SATISFACTION.  THESE ALTERNATIVES MUST BE
      DEVELOPED BY: (1) REVIEWING THE STATED NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS, (2);
      COMPARING THESE NEEDS WITH PRESENT CAPABILITY LEVELS, (3); REVIEWING THE
      FORECASTS OF ACTIVITIES IN THE MID- TO LONG-TERM, AND, (4); TRANSLATING
      THESE ACTIVITIES INTO COMMUNICATIONS NEEDS BY TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL
      JUDGMENTS.  THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THE NECESSARY AND DESIRABLE
      CAPABILITIES FOR A NEW SYSTEM CAN BE ESTABLISHED.

      FOR EACH OF THE ALTERNATIVES, ANY CONSTRAINING INFLUENCES MUST BE NOTED. 
      SUCH INFLUENCES WILL INCLUDE GROSS TECHNOLOGICAL AND COSTS LIMITATIONS,
      FREQUENCY SPECTRUM PROBLEMS, LEGAL AND REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS, AND THE
      OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS OF TRANSITIONING FROM THE CURRENT SYSTEM TO A
      NEW SYSTEM.

            THE COMPLETION OF STEP 3 MUST RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING:

                MEET THE REQUIREMENTS IN VARYING DEGREES OF SOPHISTICATION. 
                FACTORS OF PRICE, INCREMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION, PRIORITY OF
                FUNCTIONS, EXPENDABILITY, AND OPERATIONAL AND MANAGEMENT
                CONTROL COMPARISONS MUST BE DOCUMENTED.

      7.3.2     CONSIDERATION OF CURRENT TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE
                BALANCE BETWEEN A GOOD OPERATING SYSTEM AND EXPENSIVE OVER-
                SOPHISTICATION.

      7.3.3     DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONAL, MAINTENANCE AND OTHER COSTS
                CONSIDERATION IN REGARD TO THE QUESTION OF HOW BEST TO MAINTAIN
                A NEW SYSTEM.

      CONSULTANT MUST PRESENT THE OPERATIONAL, MAINTENANCE, TECHNICAL AND OTHER
      COST FACTORS OF EACH OPTION TO PARTICIPATING UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
      CAMPUSES AND HOSPITALS ALONG WITH A RECOMMENDATION AS TO THE ALTERNATIVE
      CONSIDERED THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS.  THE REPORT MUST BE PRESENTED IN
      SUFFICIENT DETAIL TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATIONAL, MANAGEMENT, BUDGETARY, AND
      TECHNICAL RAMIFICATIONS OF EACH ALTERNATIVE.  THIS PROGRAM PLAN MUST
      CONTAIN COSTS ESTIMATES, TIME SCALES, AND A THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OF THE
      NEW SYSTEM.

      CONSULTANT WILL BE GIVEN A DECISION FROM EACH UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
      CAMPUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS OFFICE AS TO THE SELECTION OF THE OPTIMUM
      ALTERNATIVE.  THE CONSULTANT MUST CONSIDER THIS DECISION AS THE BASIS FOR
      THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINAL SYSTEM PLAN.  WHEN DOING THIS STEP, THE
      CONSULTANT MUST FINALIZE AND ADD THE NECESSARY DETAILS TO THE SELECTED
      ALTERNATIVE TO PRODUCE A SYSTEM PLAN WHICH ADDRESSES THE TECHNICAL,
      ADMINISTRATIVE, FINANCIAL, AND OPERATIONAL NEEDS OF PARTICIPATING
      UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA CAMPUSES AND HOSPITALS.  SPECIAL ATTENTION MUST
      BE PAID TO SATISFYING THE RADIO COVERAGE NEEDS, COMMUNICATIONS AND
      SUPPORT EQUIPMENT, ON-GOING MAINTENANCE, BACKUP CAPABILITIES, PHYSICAL
      PLANT AND ENVIRONMENT, AND MUTUAL AID COMMUNICATIONS REQUIREMENTS (IF
      NEEDED).

      THIS STEP MUST ALSO INCLUDE DETAILED SYSTEM AND EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

	Lyn Kennedy (lrk@k5qwb.lonestar.org) has successfully modified
Motorola Radius radios to interface to an IBM PC and allow the PC
to read the trunking data stream and control the radio, allowing following
of trunked conversations and selective filtering and ID of specific groups and
units.  His PC software will also scan the band looking for trunked
systems and record statistics on what channels and ids (fleet and subfleet)
are in use in any systems it finds.

	He uses a standard PC serial port attached to the programming port
on the Radius radios (the radios include a UART) and replaces the ROM
in the radio with one with the special hacked up firmware to talk to
the PC.

	His software will also decode GOLAY and POCSAG pager traffic and
several types of MDT's, all using the Motorola radio as an FSK demod.

	R-7000's have been found to be pretty non optimum as FSK demods
for this purpose - another friend has had to build outboard IF strips
with special filters to get good BER (particularly on the 10 kbps cellular
control channels) - Lyn also found that using the demod in the radio gave
much better results than a scanner IF.  This has to do with the group
delay characteristics of the IF filters and with having adaquate bandwidth.

	Lyn posts to the network fairly regularly on alt.radio.scanner
rec.radio.amateur.misc and rec.radio.shortwave (and is k5qwb).  He lives
in Ovilla Texas and is a self taught inventor (several patents) who has
been recently working on gas field instrumentation software.
