  • DMR and Digital Voice Modes
    DMR and Digital Voice Modes Presented by N7MOT – Lenny Gemar Amateur radio began with spark gap transmitters, evolving to Morse code and analog voice communications, all originally in the Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF) bands. Since those early days, many new modes, both analog and digital have been developed. These modes now span from the Very Low Frequencies (VLF) to the Extra High Frequencies (EHF). This presentation is designed to acquaint amateur radio operators with the Digital Mobile Radio or DMR format of digital audio communications, used primarily in the VHF and UHF bands. We’ll briefly discuss the other four Common Air Interface formats (CAI) before diving into the specifics of DMR.

  • Project 25 and Interoperability in Land Mobile Radio
    WHITE PAPER 2014 PROJECT 25 AND INTEROPERABILITY IN LAND MOBILE RADIO • The Project 25 standard is unique in that it is a USER driven standard. • Multiple vendors support the P25 standard. • Motorola Solutions equipment interoperates with other vendors equipment. • Customers can and do have a mix of vendor’s equipment. • As technology and customer needs move forward, so too, does P25, which is an open and continually evolving standard. WHITE PAPER PROJECT 25 AND INTEROPERABILITY IN LAND MOBILE RADIO P25: A UNIQUE USER DRIVEN STANDARD Public safety agencies are challenged with keeping communities safe and protecting the lives of their officers, both in normal day-to-day operations as well as when a disaster strikes. Often, it requires agencies to work not only within their jurisdictions or agencies but also across multiple jurisdictions and agencies. Interoperable wireless communications is critical to coordinating joint and immediate response. The public safety community and mission critical land mobile communication providers have been working hand-in-hand for many years and have developed the Project 25 (P25) standards for interoperable mission critical communications. WHAT IS THE PROJECT 25 STANDARD AND WHO MANAGES IT? According to the Project 25 Interest Group (PTIG), “Project 25 is the standard for the design and manufacture of interoperable digital two-way wireless communications products. Developed in North America with state, local and federal representatives and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) governance, P25 has gained worldwide acceptance for public safety, security, public service, and commercial applications.” PTIG continues, “The published P25 standards suite is administered by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA Mobile and Personal Private Radio Standards Committee TR-8).

Security Weaknesses in the APCO Project 25 Two-Way Radio System Abstract APCO Project 25 (“P25”) is a suite of wireless communications protocols designed for public safety two- way (voice) radio systems. The protocols include security options in which voice and data traffic can be cryptographically protected from eavesdropping. This report analyzes the security of P25 systems against passive and active attacks. We find a number of protocol, implementation, and user interface weaknesses that can leak information to a passive eavesdropper and that facilitate active attacks. In particular, P25 systems are highly susceptible to active traffic analysis attacks, in which radio user locations are surreptitiously determined, and selective jamming attacks, in which an attacker can jam specific kinds of traffic (such as encrypted messages or key management traffic).

  • An Overview of Digital Trunked Radio: Technologies and Standards
    บทความวิชาการ วารสารวิชาการเทคโนโลยีอุตสาหกรรม ปีที 10 ฉบับที 2 พฤษภาคม – สิงหาคม 2557 The Journal of Industrial Technology, Vol. 10, No. 2 May – August 2014 An Overview of Digital Trunked Radio: Technologies and Standards Kunagorn Kunavut* Abstract Land Mobile Radio (LMR) refers to the two-way radio communication system that allows users sharing the same range of frequency to communicate with the others. LMR can be roughly classified into two main systems which are conventional and trunked radio systems. In conventional system, a frequency band is permanently dedicated to a voice channel. However, using trunked radio system can increase the spectrum efficiency by having pool of frequencies which are temporarily assigned to a group of users called talk group only when required. In trunked radio system, analog trunked radio is going to be obsolete since digital trunked radio offers better functions and features in terms of voice quality, security, spectrum efficiency and cost. Hence, the commercial applications focus on the digital one. There are many digital trunked radio technologies lunched in the market. However, in this paper, only Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), Project 25 (P25) and Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) are discussed and compared since they are developed and standardized by international standards organizations. Moreover, these technologies are chosen by many users/operators and mostly deployed in many regions across the world.

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.
