INTRODUCTION 1. In this Order we grant a request by the State of Alaska (Alaska) for a waiver of Section 90.20(c)(3) of the Commission’s rules to operate a new VHF base station on four channels using non- standard channel centers. 1 II. BACKGROUND 2. Alaska operates a wide area VHF public safety trunked radio system known as the Alaska Land Mobile Radio System (ALMR) which serves local, state and federal agencies throughout the State of Alaska using a single shared infrastructure.2 Users of the ALMR system share repeaters, RF sites, towers, and dispatch centers.3 3. The ALMR system operates using Project 25 technology and pairs approximately 1.5 megahertz of spectrum from the Public Safety Pool (150 MHz band) with an equal amount of spectrum from the Federal Government (138-144 MHz band) to create 110 channel pairs (12.5 kHz bandwidth).4 Channels from the Public Safety Pool are used in the ALMR system for base station transmissions and channels from the Federal Government band are used for mobile station transmissions.5 4. When it originally designed its ALMR system, Alaska noted that it had some difficulty pairing Public Safety Pool spectrum with spectrum from the Federal Government because channels in the Public Safety Pool from the 150 MHz band are assigned using channel centers spaced every 7.5 kHz whereas the channels from the Federal Government from the 138-144 MHz band are assigned using 1 See ULS application number 0007652388, filed February 7, 2017 (Alaska Application).

  • TETRA Dla Polski
    A Mikromakro Institute Report TETRA for Poland 8 July 2011 ORGANISATIONAL & BUS INESS MODELS ISBN 978-83-62824-01-4 TETRA for Poland Page 1 TETRA for Poland ORGANISATIONAL & BUSINESS MODELS The deployment and implementation of a single nationwide communications system for public protection and disaster relief services is a complex challenge for any country. Synergies in the technical organisation of communications systems must be created for a number of different services, governed by different regulations and financed from different sources, which requires adaptation to their specific needs. One cannot discard the experience gained from their earlier operations, but on the other hand, some old ways, like the physical ownership and control of infrastructure need to be changed, because it is now better to share infrastructure with others. Securing stable financing for a major project can be quite a challenge, as it will compete with other important public policy objectives financed from the national budget. Even when governed by uncompromising security or national defence requirements, public telecommunications projects are increasingly often planned as long-term cooperation with private partners. The telecom sector has been commercialised over the last decade or so, and learned the ways of the market economy. Even if not designed to compete with market players, state-operated projects must take account of the market environment or else they will be unable to cope with their operating costs or secure finance for development. When taking on new challenges in the area of telecommunications, the public sector may take advantage of the knowledge of the private sector in the fields of technology, infrastructure roll-out, management of telecommunications operators' costs or application of sophisticated financial instruments.

  • The Case for Dpmr
    Quarter 4 2015 RadioResource INTERNATIONAL Advances in digital technology have Adriven the world of professional mo- bile radio (PMR) during recent years, but there remains a large number of users with existing analog or partially digital systems — both conventional and trunked systems such as MPT 1327 — who don’t re- quire the more advanced features and capabilities of full digital operation. Digital Private Mobile Radio (dPMR) provides an ideal solution for those users because they can in- corporate a repeater or digital trunk- ing controller into their systems to have the option of operating in ana- log or digital modes. Other users are building or renew- ing their systems and want to employ digital, and dPMR offers a competi- tive alternative that many users are choosing. dPMR Advantages dPMR appeals to users of existing analog systems and those who only need to operate one base station and a few portables and mobiles, Use Cases as well as to small radio-linked communities where the reason- able cost of dPMR equipment makes it a sensible proposition. Another advantage of for dPMR is its flexibility.
