Communications Order Model Practices for Radio Communications

• SAW members provided and compiled the following information regarding currently used communication order protocols.

• For the purposes of this report, the primary communication order protocols are defined as:

• “Hey You, It’s Me” (Receiver/Sender Model) – Fire Agencies

• “It’s Me, Hey You” (Sender/Receiver Model) – Law Enforcement

SIEC Advisory Workgroup

SAW Report & Recommendation

Uniform Fleet Numbering Proposal

Report by Michael Marusich

Bob SchwentTim McDowell

SIEC Advisory WorkgroupProposal for the adoption of a uniform fleet mapping system for trunked radio

systems in Region 43 (WA) Regional Planning Committee (RPC)

New and upgraded trunked radio systems are being deployed throughout Region 43 (WA). These trunked systems can be linked together so officers affiliated with one system can roam to and use the others. Since there is no adopted standard for identification names and numbers for individual

radios and talk groups, ID conflicts between responding agencies are possible.

To reduce or eliminate conflicts, the SIEC Advisory Workgroup (SAW)

recommends the statewide adoption of a uniform fleet map numbering system. The Region 43 Regional Planning Committee (RPC) and associated local, state and

regional trunked radio system operators have proposed such a standard.

Adopting this standard will allow a uniform approach to the design and management of local, state and regional interoperable trunked radio communications, and is consistent with the

system of systems approach identified in the WA State Technical Implementation Plan (TIP) and the Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP).

SAW members have reviewed and unanimously recommend SIEC approval and adoption of the attached “Uniform Fleetmap Numbering Proposal” (see handouts).

SIEC Advisory WorkgroupRecommendation for SIEC approval of proposed Region 43 (WA)

Regional Planning Committee (RPC) 700 MHz Plan and700 MHz Interoperable Channel Governance

The Region 43 (WA) 700 MHz Committee is in the process of rewriting the 700MHz plan.

Revisions are required to address 700MHz interoperable frequency

assignment and procedural matters.

Current licensing approval processes differ between the Region 43 700MHz and 800MHz plans.

All 800 MHz licensing is governed by the RPC, whereas 700MHz licensing is governed by the RPC with the exception of the designated Interoperability channel,s which are governed by the SIEC.

As such, the SAW unanimously recommends SIEC approval of a proposed realignment

of the Region 43 RPC’s 700MHz Plan to allow governance of 700MHz interoperability channels

by the Region 43 RPC 700MHz Committee, thereby providing uniformity in the licensing

and governance of 700MHz and 800MHz interoperability channels throughout Washington.

Three SAW members (Bob Schwent – WSP, Joh Zwosta – Pierce County CCN, and Tim McDowell – WSDOT) currently serve

on the Region 43 RPC 700MHz Committee, and each has offered to facilitate the oversight

and expeditious processing of the 700MHz Plan realignment and RPC approval process.
