Untitled Document   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Motorola is announcing its licensing terms in response to the recognition and support the Project 25 standard has received worldwide, the increasing number of manufacturers that have indicated interest in designing and selling their own standard-compliant systems, and the many suppliers who have approached the company for licenses of its Project 25 technology. When work began on the Project 25 digital two-way radio standard in the late 1980s, the APCO Project 25 Steering Committee, which was responsible for the standard-setting process, agreed to consider the best technology for the standard. APCO formally adopted Project 25 as the public-safety industry's standard for digital two-way systems in 1995. www.dispatchmonthly.com /apco_1997/mot_release.html   (544 words)

Project 25 is no longer a drawing board event but now a robust marketplace of affordable, backwardly-compatible radio systems, as evidenced by Motorola’s recent delivery of “industry’s first full suite of Project 25 interface-compliant integrated mobile, portable voice and data systems.” Motorola tailors its suite of Project 25 radios to accommodate users who need ruggedized units, dashboard systems, 16- to 160-channel systems, and offers a range of options of use to public safety personnel, from building inspectors in need of economical systems to first responders who need advanced alerting, priority and other value added functions. www.gcn.com /research_results/homeland-safe5.html   (663 words)

Inter-Agency Standard For Mobile Radios In effect, P 25 is expected to set the standard for a range of municipal, state and federal agencies related to law enforcement, firefighting, EMS, Homeland security and various logistics requiring mobile field communications using two-way radios. APCO Project 25 is a joint project of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials — International (APCO) and U.S. federal, state and local governments, with support by the Telecommunications Industry Association and the National Association of State Telecommunications Directors. The P 25 standard is expected to rule the public safety airwaves for the foreseeable future, and it is likewise expected that a broad cross-section of government agencies will follow suit in purchasing radio equipment that meets the standard, which includes provisions for interoperability, backwards compatibility and improved spectrum efficiency (making room for more users). govtsecurity.com /mag/interagency_standard_mobile   (587 words)

Monitoring Times, Next Issue Project 25 is a set of standards for digital radio systems, used extensively in the United States by public safety agencies. As these agencies move away from their old analog radios to new Project 25 systems, scanner listeners are forced to find a way to monitor P-25 signals. If you're in an area with large, trunked Project 25 systems, my recommendation would be to purchase a PRO-96 or one of the Uniden digital scanners, since the ARD25 won't be of much value. www.monitoringtimes.com /html/mtrevusep04.html   (1678 words)

So, What's the real story on APCO-25? Notably, APCO is one of several frequency coordinators responsible for coordinating frequency assignments before an application is filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). APCO also has a technical standards group responsible for planning the future needs of police (and more recently public-safety) users. For the past 25 years, we have been told that trunking is the key to high efficiency utilization of frequencies, yet we are not offered this capability utilizing APCO-25 compliant equipment. www.info4u.us /APCO25   (1865 words)

Project 25 update Despite this heavy interest and the ability of P25 vendors to move with the technology, lack of funding, spectrum shortages and old-fashioned government politicking stand in the way of bridging the communications gap between police, fire and other emergency personnel on the local and state level. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's chief information officer has advised that the government's wireless efforts be consolidated into Project SafeCom to ensure that all emergency workers have access to interoperable equipment based on the P25 standard. But funding has moved slowly, and local and state governments are struggling to find money for many essential government programs let alone purchase interoperable radio equipment. www.apco911.org /frequency/Project25update.htm   (1215 words)

[No title] The goals of Project 25 are "to develop standards for equipment which would ensure a graceful migration between techniques and intercommunications between the products of different manufacturers."[EN39] These systems will use 12.5 kHz channels, with a full range of digital data and vocoder features, including encryption. The APCO analysis of spectrum requirements noted that the number of public safety licenses increased at a rate that approximately doubled the number of licenses in a 10-year period. APCO, in comments to the FCC, stated that public safety services will require an additional 25 MHz by the year 2000, and another 50 MHz by 2010.[EN98] The APCO spectrum requirements are identical to the COPE petition in that 75 MHz was requested for advanced private land mobile applications. www.ntia.doc.gov /openness/sp_rqmnts/mobile1.html   (16001 words)

The Case for APCO Project 25 A "Project 25 compliant" system may really use only a few of the many standards.

TIA | TIA Withdraws Two APCO Project 25 Documents   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Arlington, Va. – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) has withdrawn its interim standard for the APCO Project 25 Common Air Interface, the document that describes the access method, bandwidth, modulation, data rate and message format for land mobile radios meeting APCO Project 25 requirements. The interim standard was originally published in April 1996 as TIA/EIA/IS-102.BAAA, "APCO Project 25 Recommended Common Air Interface New Technology Standards Project Digital Radio Technical Standard." This document has been returned to the formulating group, TR-8.15, Subcommittee on Common Air Interface, for reconsideration. In a companion action, the Telecommunications Systems Bulletin, TSB-102.AABD, Project 25 Trunking Procedures, has also been withdrawn from publication and sent back to its formulating group, TR-8.10, Subcommittee on Trunking and Conventional Control, after TIA staff determined proper procedures were also not followed in this case. www.tiaonline.org /media/press_releases/1997/97-33.cfm?print=   (399 words)
