Kindelspire: P25 brings us the ability to communicate in a digital environment

3
00:00:11.173 --> 00:00:13.605
as we're moving off of legacy analogue systems.

4
00:00:13.605 --> 00:00:16.445
Hooper: It gives us that capability of

5
00:00:16.445 --> 00:00:20.964
making communications for public safety interoperable.

6
00:00:20.964 --> 00:00:25.948
Leifer: The advantage that users get by implementing P25 properly

7
00:00:25.948 --> 00:00:30.948
is that they are guaranteed that their radios will be interoperable

8
00:00:32.260 --> 00:00:37.260
and you will be able to go to any vendor that provides compliant P25 radios

9
00:00:39.156 --> 00:00:42.660
and know that you can purchase them and they will work.

10
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:47.036
In order a piece of equipment to have P25 certification,

11
00:00:47.036 --> 00:00:52.036
the radio design goes through a whole host of evaluation, analysis, testing

12
00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:59.332
and the tests are designed and then accomplished through

13
00:00:59.332 --> 00:01:02.813
very, very carefully vetted laboratories

14
00:01:02.813 --> 00:01:07.165
who will then have to certify that this equipment will meet

15
00:01:07.165 --> 00:01:12.165
all of the requirements of multi-vendor, open standard, interoperability.

16
00:01:12.941 --> 00:01:16.388
Leifer: As I got more educated in what P25 was,

17
00:01:16.388 --> 00:01:21.388
I saw it wasn't quite as set in stone as I thought to begin with.

18
00:01:21.477 --> 00:01:25.668
And I think this renewed, reinvigorated Advisory Panel

19
00:01:25.668 --> 00:01:30.668
is looking to make sure we have that set of standards that are standards.

20
00:01:31.148 --> 00:01:34.051
Reardon: I think the resurgence of the CAP AP

21
00:01:34.051 --> 00:01:39.051
is really that we found a lot of holes in what was originally done.

22
00:01:39.541 --> 00:01:43.197
No disrespect to anyone who came before us,

23
00:01:43.197 --> 00:01:45.572
but a lot of things have changed

24
00:01:45.572 --> 00:01:48.884
over the past seven or eight years and those need to be addressed.

25
00:01:48.884 --> 00:01:53.884
Schafer: Manufacturers are continually adding features sets to their radios

26
00:01:54.004 --> 00:01:58.108
and some of those have not been adopted yet into the testing standards,

27
00:01:58.108 --> 00:02:02.677
but the core, you know, features of radios in a crisis situation

28
00:02:02.677 --> 00:02:05.436
are in the testing set.

29
00:02:05.436 --> 00:02:07.276
And I think it's a very good baseline

30
00:02:07.276 --> 00:02:10.924
from which to grow and mature those standards over time.

31
00:02:10.924 --> 00:02:13.813
Corbin: It's really important that the first responders' organizations

32
00:02:13.813 --> 00:02:18.813
purchasing equipment get it all programmed correctly.

33
00:02:19.292 --> 00:02:24.292
It's really complex, but once it's all set up properly, it works very well.

34
00:02:24.429 --> 00:02:26.861
Reardon: You know, the end-users, the boots on the ground people,

35
00:02:26.861 --> 00:02:29.020
they want to push the "talk" and they want to communicate.

36
00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:31.628
So at the end of the day, we're here to try to make sure that

37
00:02:31.628 --> 00:02:35.821
any of the changes that have happened over the past seven or eight years

38
00:02:35.821 --> 00:02:38.372
and some of the new features that have come out

39
00:02:38.372 --> 00:02:43.116
that weren't available when the CAP first started, need to be addressed.

40
