Capabilities Statement
Radionet Communications, Inc.
2 November, 2009
Capabilities in Brief
Tune, test and repair of Land Mobile Radio subscriber unitsProgramming/re-programming subscriber units to work on federal systems and local/regional interoperability systemsProgram management experience deploying ‘gateways’ for interoperability with local/state agencies ‘outside the fence’
Capabilities in Brief (more)
Consulting services – Project 25 updates and procurement documentation review & editing (Configuration Management)Simulation of RF coverage using ‘non-proprietary’ software toolsSystem ‘drive testing’ and integration of test data into simulations – comparing actual system performance vs. ‘idealized’ models
Tune, Test and Repair
Quotes obtained and resources available for an R2670B service monitor and other essential tools for ‘tune, test & repair’ of trunked and conventional Project 25-compliant subscriber units
‘Programming’
Radionet Communications has 17 years of experience programming subscriber units for both conventional and ‘trunking’ with vendor-specific software (e.g. Motorola, M/A-COM & EF Johnson)
A note about ‘Programming’
It IS NOT like ‘writing code’ in a ‘high level language’It IS easily learned by anyone with even rudimentary computer skillsBut, programmers must have particular knowledge of frequencies, tones, ID’s and other characteristics ‘unique to each system’, to correctly program its subscriber units

Site Visits for Planning Purposes
Identify ‘Line of Demarcation’ for network connectivityAscertain location and type of existing dispatch equipment, locations of repeaters/tower sites and frequencies/PL tones/other programming parametersLook for technology reuse opportunities!
Sub Base New London
NOC in separate building from Dispatch CenterDispatch equipment no longer supported by vendor, complicating audio extractionBut, surplus circuitry on base and unused antennae offered ‘degrees of freedom’ in the design
Similar work at WPNSTA Earle
Similar problems, with networking equipment located remotely from dispatch center – onsite management to obtain local circuit supportNew tower required for wireless links to reach repeaters, also procured locally
Raytheon/JPS ACU-1000s selected for Interoperability equipment
Quotes obtained after onsite surveys completed and requirements definedOnsite program management, and other vendor coordination performed for antennae and other infrastructure improvements

Configuring Interoperability Equipment
Local Dispatcher is now ‘Regional’
Regional Interoperability System Computer Control
Regional Operations Center
Connected to the same IP network as the interoperability equipment, this computer controls the network from an office at WPNSTA Earle.Similar control point at Sub Base New London and NOC in Alexandria
Project 25
Radionet Communications has kept track of emerging TIA standards, including the latest addition to the console or ‘fixed station’ interface: TIA-102.BAHA.This is an important development for local/state system operators requiring interoperability with federal systems built to Project 25 standards.
It lets you do this, now:
‘Remote’ P25 System
Create interoperability links to P25 neighbors… …for very little money!
Documentation review and editing
With over 17 years of experience with Land Mobile Radio issues, Radionet Communications is an authority you can trust.Get the best value for your federal dollars spent, by having Radionet review your documents!
Other Capabilities
Radionet can also provide third-party software analysis of ‘promised’ coverage using open-source simulation tools (shown here: ‘Radiosoft’ ComStudy 2.2).While all ‘simulators’ are based on mathematical models, some are more ‘optimistic’ than others.
Integrated Drive-Test Data
Radiosoft also allows for the importation of drive-test data, to compare actual field measurements with predicted performance.This is an invaluable utility for those planning wide-area coverage systems who wish to verify promised coverage.
Procedures and Protocols
While new technology greatly enhances our ability to communicate, lacking proper procedures and protocols for use of these assets – particularly ‘interoperability’ assets -can be disastrous in a crisis situation.Working with local/state and other federal agencies to obtain the necessary memoranda of agreement and understanding is only part of the equation.Common language is important, too!
Radionet Communications can:
tune, test, repair and program your subscriber unitsmanage interoperability projects with local/state and other federal agencieskeep you up-to-date on new Project 25 technologies, and review your documentsperform simulations and drive-testingdevelop effective procedures and protocols for emergency communications
