INTRODUCTION
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has initiated the CHP Enhanced Radio System (CHPERS) project. This enhancement project will provide an effective and efficient radio communications system that supports CHPs primary mission, improves internal and external services, and enables radio interoperability with allied agencies during joint tactical operations and emergency incidents. The CHP Enhanced Radio System will: Acquire a Consolidated Patrol Vehicle Environment (CPVE) and associated new mobile radios. Replace an aging custom-designed infrastructure with new industry standard equipment. Allow officers the ability to communicate at a greater distance when away from their enforcement vehicles. Allow communications centers to operate their primary and secondary frequencies independently and simultaneous from each other. Be capable of automatically broadcasting inbound mobile transmissions over a wide area so that most mobile units will have the ability to monitor mobile transmissions. Include additional radio channels for tactical and emergency operations. Enable radio interoperability with other public safety agencies without impacting dayto-day patrol operations. Allow all communications centers to have multiple alternate dispatch control points for control of the fixed radio system. Provide radio communications at inspection and scale facilities.
This document will provide a general overview of the existing CHP radio system and will discuss the various aspects of the CHPERS project. More detailed information regarding the existing CHP radio system can be obtained from the Office of the State Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Public Safety Communications Division (PSCD) (formerly the Department of General Services, Telecommunications Division). It is assumed that the reader has a basic under-

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL EXISTING RADIO SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This section is a general overview of the existing California Highway Patrol (CHP) mobile radio system. A brief description of the various types of radio systems used by the CHP is presented; as well as, the types of radio base stations used and how they are controlled. Additionally, brief descriptions of CHPs communications centers, mobile and fixed location radio equipment, and the State microwave system are presented. It is assumed that the reader has a basic familiarity with the existing CHP radio system. 1. General 1.1. The CHP uses two major radio systems: a Very High Frequency (VHF) lowband system and an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) system. The lowband system is used by CHP as its main radio communications system with its regular patrol officers. The UHF system is used by a smaller number of CHP Protective Services Division officers for Dignitary Protection and other previous State Police responsibilities. The radio systems are configured as either conventional (vote steer), simulcast or standalone. 1.2. The equipment utilized in the CHP radio system is installed via the Public Safety Communications Divisions (PSCD) COM 207 process. This process involves PSCD engineering and field maintenance staff. The document(s) generated via the COM 207 process details the scope of work being performed, required associated parts, required schematics and detailed engineering work instructions for the field maintenance staff. Exhibit 1 is an example of a simple COM 207 work package for Horse Mountain which involved working at a remote site location that is not a CHP managed vault. The COM 207 process permits interagency cooperation when radio equipment is installed at sites not under the jurisdiction of CHP. The COM 207 process also generates and/or updates any required site documentation. 2. Conventional Radio System 2.1. Except for the Los Angeles Communications Center (LACC), Golden Gate Communications Center (GGCC), Inland Communications Center (CC) and Border
Page 11 of 86
CC which operate simulcast radio systems, the remaining CHP communications centers operate conventional (vote steer) radio systems. 2.2. The CHP lowband conventional radio system is a vote steer system. The vote steer radio system consists of multiple strategically located transmitters and receivers. Receive audio from multiple sites is analyzed and the best receive audio (voted audio) is presented to the dispatcher. The vote steer radio system then automatically selects (steers) the transmitter associated with the voted audio to reply to the mobile. Typically only one transmitter is selected at any given time. The vote steer radio system is set up to vote with each new reception. The system is also designed to ensure the voter only analyzes valid transmissions from mobiles and not idle channel noise. Reference Appendix A, Figure A1, CHP Vote Steer Diagram. 3. Simulcast Radio System 3.1. In addition to the conventional (vote steer) radio system, CHP also utilizes the technique of simulcast (simultaneous broadcast) transmissions. In a conventional mode, a single transmitter is keyed at any given time. In a simulcast mode, all transmitters on the same frequency are keyed at the same time. Simulcast operation also requires that the transmitters be aligned to one another. 3.2. The receive portion of a simulcast system is the same as the receive portion of a vote steer system. Receive audio from multiple sites is compared (voted) and the best receive audio (voted audio) is routed to the dispatcher. In the Inland CC, Border CC and GGCC simulcast systems, the voted audio is also rebroadcasted (repeated) over the air simultaneously via all transmitters on the same frequency. When a dispatcher replies to a mobile, the dispatchers traffic is also broadcast out on all associated transmitters simultaneously at the same time. 3.3. The following CHP communications centers operate in the simulcast mode: LACC, Inland CC (San Bernardino), Border CC (San Diego) and GGCC. 4. Standalone CHP also utilizes radios which operate in a standalone mode. Radios configured as standalone consist of a console controlled base station which does not operate in conventional (vote steer) or simulcast systems. These base stations typically appear as secondary (auxiliary) stations on the console position. Oftentimes, the radios are part of
Page 12 of 86
other state and local government radio systems. Examples of other government entities are CLEMARS, CLERS, local sheriff offices and local police departments. 5. Base Stations 5.1. General Overview. In general terms, a base station is any piece of fixed radio equipment that allows radio frequency (RF) communications between end users. In the CHP Lowband Radio System, there are two typical base station configurations: local and remote. Other configurations are used depending on operational requirements. Reference Appendix A, Figure A2, Typical Base Station Sketch. 5.2. Local Base Stations. Local base stations are generally used at area offices. A local base station is comprised of a transceiver (a single transmitter and receiver unit), two auxiliary receivers, a transmit/receive (T/R) relay, filtering equipment (intermodulation panel, etc.), and an antenna system. A local base station is connected to the area offices desktop console and not to a communications centers dispatch console. The local base station is used by an area office to communicate car-to-car (transmit and receive using the C channel) on the offices primary and Blue (BLU) frequencies and to listen to the primary S channel. 5.3. Remote Base Stations. Remote base stations are generally located at remote sites. A remote base station is comprised of a transceiver (a single transmitter and receiver unit), one auxiliary receiver, a T/R relay, filtering equipment (intermodulation panel, etc.), batteries and charger, and an antenna system. Remote base stations normally require more extensive filtering equipment and cavities than local base stations due to increased frequency interference problems caused by multiple users at remote sites. A remote base station is connected to a communications centers dispatch console. Remote base stations are used by dispatch to communicate to vehicles on the primary and BLU frequencies. The C channel is used to transmit to the vehicles and the S channel is used to listen to vehicles. 5.4. Remote Sites Versus Local Sites. 5.4.1. Base stations are located at radio sites. The term remote site is generally used for radio sites that are located at remote locations. Most of the time remote sites are located on mountain tops. Base stations at
Page 13 of 86
remote sites are controlled by dispatchers via microwave circuits, RF control links (usually 70 MHz, 150 MHz or 450 MHz), or leased telephone lines. 5.4.2. The term local site is generally used for radio sites that are located in cities. Most local sites are communications centers or area offices. At local sites, since the radio vaults either share the same building as the communications center or are located right next to the communications center, the radios at local sites are generally controlled via house cables. 5.5. Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS). A squelch system that uses a specific sub-audio tone (usually 50-200 Hz) in conjunction with an RF carrier. This type of squelch system allows two or more radio systems to share the same radio channel without interference to one another. CTCSS is sometimes referred to as Private Line (PL) and Channel Guard (CG). 5.6. Auxiliary Receiver. A standalone receiver unit that is not physically part of a transmitter. 6. Control of Base Stations 6.1. General Overview. In the CHP Lowband Radio System, each base station is controlled by a console. Each base station is connected to that console by means of microwave circuits, leased telephone lines, VHF or UHF radio control links, physical cables, or any combination of these. 6.2. Local Base Station Control. A local base station is generally located at an area office and is controlled by a desktop console located in that office. Control of the local base station at an area office is accomplished by cross connecting the base station to the desktop console via physical cables (i.e., house cables).

6.3.
Remote Base Station Control. A remote base station is located at a remote site that is generally far from a
Page 14 of 86
communications center. It is controlled by a dispatch console located at a communications center. The control of a remote base station is accomplished by cross connecting the remote base station to the communications centers dispatch console via microwave circuits, leased telephone lines, VHF or UHF radio control links, physical cables, or any combination of these.

6.4.
Types of Control Circuits. The types of control circuits are microwave circuits, leased telephone lines, VHF or UHF radio control links and physical cables. 6.4.1. Microwave Circuits. Microwave circuits can be state, other government, or privately owned and they utilize either 4-wire tone or 4-wire E&M signaling. 6.4.2. Leased Telephone Lines. Leased telephone lines are dedicated point-to-point always on phone circuits leased from the phone company. CHP typically leases two types of lines. 6.4.2.1. A 2002 voice grade unconditioned leased line used for voice and/or in-band tone transmissions. 6.4.2.2. A 3002 data grade conditioned leased line used for voice, data and facsimile transmissions. 6.4.3. 70 MHz / 150 MHz / 450 MHz RF Control Links. Control links consist of fixed radio equipment operating in the 70 MHz, 150 MHz or 450 MHz range of frequencies to allow communications between two radio sites. The fixed radio equipment is generally crossbanded to the remote base station at the last remote site. The purpose of RF control links is to allow a remote base station at a distant remote site, which has no microwave or leased telephone lines available, to connect
Page 15 of 86
to a site that has microwave or leased telephone lines in order to ultimately connect to a communications centers dispatch console. 6.5. Signaling Types. 6.5.1. Tone. Tone signaling utilizes standard in-band tones (300 3000 Hz), such as 1950 Hz or 1850 Hz, on the transmit pair in order to enable the radios Push-to-Talk (PTT). 6.5.2. Direct Current (DC). DC signaling utilizes direct current on the transmit pair in order to enable the radios PTT. DC signaling requires physical cable connections. DC signaling has mostly been replaced by tone and E&M signaling. 6.5.3. E&M. E&M signaling utilizes separate wire pairs for the E and the M leads in order to provide contact closure to or from the radio to enable PTT or to provide Carrier Operated Squelch (COS). 7. Communications Centers 7.1. General Overview. The communications center (or dispatch center) is the nerve center of CHPs operations and radio communications. This is where all emergency and non-emergency telephone and radio calls are received, recorded, processed and communicated or radioed to the field patrol units. CHP patrol units are dispatched out of 25 CHP communications centers located throughout the State. 7.2. Dispatch Console Versus Desktop Console. A dispatch console is substantially larger, more capable and is more expensive than a desktop console. A dispatch console typically has several operator or dispatch positions with multiple communication channels and features that are supported by complex electronic equipment. In comparison, a desktop console is small enough to sit on a desk and can control several communications channels. A desktop consoles electronics are self-contained within the unit. 7.2.1. Main Equipment Package (MEP). The MEP is the complex electronic equipment that supports all the dispatch console positions and functions. This equipment occupies
Page 16 of 86
multiple equipment racks that are located in the radio vault. Reference Appendix A, Figure A3, Console MEP Example. 7.3. Dispatch Console Functions. The following are a few of the more common dispatch console functions utilized by CHP. 7.3.1. Vote Steer. The Avtec dispatch console employs internal voting equipment to select the best receive audio (voted audio) to present to the dispatcher. The dispatch console would then steer the dispatchers reply to the same remote base station that the transmission originated from. This ensures the best audio quality reception at the communications center and the best possible reply. Reference Appendix A, Figure A1, CHP Vote Steer Diagram. 7.3.2. Simulcast. Simulcast is the capability to simultaneously transmit from several base stations on the same frequency at the same time. 7.3.3. Patch. The patch function is used to connect separate frequencies together to allow disparate frequencies to communicate with each other. The dispatcher enables the consoles patch function to automatically retransmit the receive audio from one channel out on one or more different channels, and vice versa, within the dispatch console. 7.3.4. Repeat. The repeat function allows receive audio to be transmitted out on one or more remote base stations to allow field units to hear inbound traffic. 8. Lowband System 8.1. General Overview. The CHP Lowband Radio System is configured as a two-frequency simplex system. The remote base station transmits to the mobile units on one frequency designated "C channel and the mobile units transmit to the remote base station on a different frequency designated "S channel. Reference Appendix A, Figure A4, CHP Lowband Radio System Diagram.
Page 17 of 86
8.2.
Frequencies. Currently, forty-seven different frequency pairs are used throughout the State. For ease of identification, each pair is referred to as a color. Reference Appendix A, Figure A5, CHP Lowband Frequencies Open List, for a listing of the colors and their respective frequencies. The motorcycle and mobile radios are synthesized programmable units equipped to monitor both the "S" and "C" channels.
8.3.
Control Circuits. The CHP Lowband Radio System is a remote base station type system. Each remote base station is individually controlled from its associated communications center by means of microwave circuits, leased telephone lines, VHF or UHF radio control links, physical cables, or any combination of these.
8.4.
Patrol Area. The patrol area of each area office is assigned a color as its primary frequency in addition to a secondary frequency (i.e., Blue). Reference Appendix A, Figure A6, CHP Lowband Radio System Map and Appendix A, Figure A7, CHP Areas With Primary Lowband VHF Channel Map for the frequency color assigned to each area office. Multiple area offices may share the same primary frequency.
8.5.
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS). The CHP Lowband Radio System also uses a Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS). CTCSS is also referred to as Private Line (PL) and Channel Guard (CG). CTCSS is used for two reasons: first, to reduce, but unfortunately not eliminate, the nuisance caused by skip interference from other states; and second, a different CTCSS tone frequency is employed in each CHP division to allow reuse of frequency colors more often within the State. The radio system, being a two-frequency simplex system, also enhances the ability to reuse frequencies. Reference Appendix A, Figure A5, CHP Lowband Frequencies Open List, for a listing of CTCSS frequencies assigned to each division.
8.6.
Blue Frequency. The Blue (BLU) frequency pair is employed on a statewide basis to provide radio access from a mobile located anywhere in California. Mobiles are programmed to operate on their assigned primary frequency pair and on the secondary BLU frequency pair. In the secondary mode, CTCSS on the BLU receivers of the remote base stations have been enabled allowing mobiles with the proper CTCSS
Page 18 of 86
to access the BLU frequency and communicate with the dispatcher. CHP mobile radios have the proper CTCSS programmed for both the primary and secondary frequencies for the areas that they normally patrol. When operating in areas that they normally do not patrol, color (frequency) and division (CTCSS) must be manually selected by the officer. Allied agencies can access the primary or secondary frequencies by using the CTCSS assigned to the CHP division. The BLU frequency is also used as a secondary frequency for use during emergencies and special details. 8.7. Communications Center Functions. The communications center is the lifeline for the CHP officer. CHP field personnel are dispatched out of 25 CHP communications centers located throughout the State. The communications centers include a dispatch console that has the ability to control and monitor multiple frequencies simultaneously. 9. UHF System 9.1. General Overview. The CHP UHF Mobile Radio System provides both regional and local communications between CHP communications centers, area offices, and officers using mobile or portable radios. Various users of the CHP UHF Mobile Radio System include the Governors Protective Detail (GPD), Office of Dignitary Protection (ODP), Office of Capitol Protection (OCP), Office of Judicial Protection (OJP) and various Guest Users. 9.1.1. The CHP UHF Mobile Radio System is a network of mobile relays in each of the CHP divisions throughout the State. Each division has a minimum of one communications center that has control of (or access to) a UHF mobile relay in order to communicate with field units. 9.1.2. This radio system operates on frequencies in the UHF public safety spectrum (450 to 470 MHz). Reference Appendix A, Figure A8, CHP UHF Mobile Radio System Map, for locations of mobile repeaters, frequencies used and CTCSS access tones. 9.2. Mobile Relay Versus Base Station. A mobile relay repeats the communications of any field officers mobile or portable radio as well as that of a control station radio at CHP area offices. The mobile relay is also connected to the communications center. This repeat capability of the
Page 19 of 86
station enables all units to hear each other and; therefore, both sides of a conversation are heard. In comparison, a non-repeating base station (such as that used in the lowband VHF system) only connects a dispatcher to mobile radios and vice versa which does not allow field officers to hear each other. 9.3. Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS). The mobile relays are accessed by mobile and portable radios using one of eight Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) access tones. Any mobile or portable radio on the system can hear the output of all the mobile relays within its coverage area, but transmissions from a field radio through a specific mobile relay, in a desired geographic area, is based on the selection of that particular mobile relays repeater access tone on that field radio. 9.4. Control Circuits. Each mobile relay is also individually controlled from its associated communications center by means of microwave circuits, leased telephone lines, VHF or UHF radio control links, physical cables, or any combination of these. 9.5. Communications Center Functions. CHP field personnel are dispatched from CHP communications centers located throughout the State. The major centers involved with the UHF system can be found on the attached map (reference Appendix A, Figure A8, CHP UHF Mobile Radio System Map). The communications centers include a dispatch console that has the ability to control and monitor multiple mobile relays simultaneously. Each center controls the mobile relays in its region. 9.6. Urban Area Radio System Configuration. Strategically located mobile relays have been installed in some downtown areas to supplement the weaker portable radio coverage in urban areas where the mountaintop mobile relay coverage is marginal. Most of these downtown mobile relays in a given urban area may also be part of a receiver voting system. This voting system continuously selects the best receive audio from among all connected mobile relay receivers and retransmits this voted audio back to other field personnel as well as on to the communications center. 10. Mobile Equipment 10.1. Vehicle Equipment. The typical CHP vehicle is equipped with a GE RangR lowband radio, a vehicular
Page 20 of 86
repeater system (VRS) to extend the communication range of an officer outside the vehicle and a programmable scanner receiver for cross-monitoring other agencies. GE RangR Radio VHF Lowband Radio, CHPs standard mobile radio, 100W [Works in conjunction with a GE S-810 Control Head] VRS Repeater VHF High Band Radio, GE Executive II or Pyramid SVR-200, Approximately 300mW [Works in conjunction with a VHF High Band portable radio (Motorola HT1000 @ approximately 2W)] 10.2. Scanner Multiband Receiver, Uniden BCD 996T
Vehicular Repeater System (VRS). The VRS relays the main two-way lowband radio transmissions to and from officers by means of a separate high band radio link to the personal portable radios they are wearing. The high band radio link is a simplex 154.905 MHz frequency and is protected by CTCSS (173.8 Hz or 156.8 Hz) for transmissions from the officer. The portable has the capability to permit portable-to-portable communication on the same frequency (no CTCSS transmitted) and for communication on the 154.920 MHz statewide mutual aid frequency (CLEMARS). The VRS is sometimes referred to as the Automatic Vehicular Repeater (AVR).
11.
Radio Equipment at Other Facilities 11.1. Area Offices. A local lowband base station and a desktop console are found in typical area offices. The desktop console, usually located in the Sergeants Office, controls the local base station. The base station, located in a small radio vault, allows the area office to communicate car-to-car (C channel) on the offices primary and BLU frequencies and to listen to the primary S channel. Radio traffic is typically connected to the offices PA system. Area offices do not have direct radio communications with its communications center. Some area offices also have multiband scanners. 11.2. Inspection and Scale Facilities. Smaller inspection and scale facilities general use desktop lowband base stations to communicate with their vehicles. Larger inspection and scale facilities may use a base station installed in a radio vault and a desktop console for communications. Inspection and scale facilities do not employ a standard radio channel configuration
Page 21 of 86
scheme. Most inspection and scale facilities can talk car-to-car on their primary and BLU frequencies and some can talk directly to their communications centers. In the newer and larger inspection facilities, radio traffic is typically connected to the offices PA system. 11.3. Resident Posts (RP). Most RPs do not have any fixed radio equipment. They rely on their vehicles to communicate with their communications centers. 12. Public Safety Microwave System 12.1. General Overview. 12.1.1. The States Public Safety Microwave System consists of nine major (backbone) and numerous local routes throughout the State. 12.1.2. The nine major routes are North Coast, North Valley, Truckee-Lassen, South Coast, South Valley, East Sierra, Southern California, Sacramento Local and Los Angeles Local. Reference Appendix A, Figure A9, Public Safety Microwave System Map. 12.1.3. 12.1.4. The nine major routes operate on the 6 GHz frequency band. Local routes operate on the 960 MHz, 2 GHz, 11 GHz and/or 18 GHz frequency bands. 12.1.5. The Public Safety Microwave System used to be comprised of all analog microwave radios, baseband combiners and multiplex equipment. The multiplex equipment interfaces with the customers voice traffic and transforms it to one of the 600, 4 kHz wide, microwave channels using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM). The analog microwave radios then transmit the traffic from site to site throughout the State. 12.1.6. PSCD is currently converting the analog microwave system to a Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) integrated digital network. 12.1.7. The new digital microwave network will ultimately be comprised of digital microwave radios, Digital Cross-Connect Systems (DCS) and digital Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) T1 channel banks. 12.1.8. The digital network utilizes digital channel banks to interface with the customers voice traffic. The DCS then switches the traffic between digital microwave radios and channel banks.
Page 22 of 86
12.1.9.
Currently PSCD has completed about 40% of the digital conversion with the rest of the conversion scheduled to be completed in the next few years.
12.2.
Public Safety Switching System (Green Phone). 12.2.1. The Green Phone System is a State-owned statewide telephone system designed to provide communications between all participating State agencies during an emergency. The participating State agencies are: California Highway Patrol (CHP), California Department of Forestry (CDF), California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS), Office of Emergency Services (OES), California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), and PSCD. 12.2.2. The system utilizes the States Public Safety Microwave System and is independent of the public telephone network. 12.2.3. The system is designed, installed and maintained by PSCD with high reliability standards so it will remain in service during an emergency while the public telephone system may fail or become too congested for communications. 12.2.4. The system is comprised of two trunk switches, eleven PABX telephone switches, and hundreds of subscriber units. 12.2.5. One of the two trunk switches is located at the Sacramento Microwave Center and the other trunk switch is located at La Habra Peak in the Los Angeles area. They are interconnected via the State microwave system. 12.2.6. The eleven PABX telephone switches are located at: Redding CDF, Redding Microwave Center, Sacramento Microwave Center, Sacramento Traffic Management Center, PSCD Headquarters, Vallejo CHP Division Headquarters, Santa Rosa CDF, Riverside CDF District Office, Los Angeles Regional Traffic Management Center, and San Diego DOT Traffic Management Center. They connect and route telephone traffic between subscriber units and the two trunk switches via the State microwave system. 12.2.7. The subscriber units are telephone handsets (originally green) located at the various State agencies. There are approximately 800 subscriber units statewide. Each subscriber unit is connected to its assigned PABX
Page 23 of 86
telephone switch via either the State microwave system or dedicated leased telephone line.

It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of the existing CHP radio system. 13. Simulcast Support in Existing Locations 13.1. Current simulcast areas are the Los Angeles Communications Center (LACC), Golden Gate Communications Center (GGCC), Border Communications Center (CC) and Inland CC. In a simulcast radio system, all transmitters on the same frequency are keyed at the same time (i.e., simultaneous transmission of the same information). 13.1.1. The GGCC simulcast radio system will not be included as part of the CHPERS project (except as noted below), since there is a current CHP project, which is unrelated to the CHPERS project, to replace the simulcast control equipment and remote site base stations used by the GGCC simulcast radio system. 13.2. Remote Site Simulcast Control Equipment. The CHPERS project will replace existing remote site simulcast control equipment because the equipment is beyond its amortized life expectancy and replacement parts are costly and increasingly hard to obtain. 13.2.1. Remote site simulcast control equipment is the equipment (located at remote sites) required to control and align a radio transceiver in order for it to operate as a simulcast transmitter. 13.2.2. Remote site simulcast control equipment will be replaced for Border CC and Inland CC under the CHPERS project. 13.2.3. Remote site simulcast control equipment associated with LACC and GGCC have recently been or will soon be replaced as part of other approved CHP projects unrelated to CHPERS; therefore, the CHPERS project will only purchase replacement remote site simulcast control equipment for GGCC and LACC for installation at a later date (after the
Page 25 of 86
completion of the CHPERS project) as part of normal equipment replacement. 13.2.4. Replacement of the existing remote site simulcast control equipment will involve the following steps: 13.2.4.1. Temporarily relocating the equipment in the rack to make room for the new equipment. 13.2.4.2. 13.2.4.3. 13.2.4.4. Installing and testing the new equipment. Aligning and phasing the transmitters. Disconnecting the old equipment and connecting the new equipment when the new system is ready for cutover. 13.2.4.5. 13.3. Completely removing the old equipment.
Remote Site Base Station Equipment (Simulcast). The CHPERS project will replace remote site base station equipment (simulcast lowband base station racks and associated radio equipment) because the equipment is beyond its amortized life expectancy and replacement parts are costly and increasingly hard to obtain. 13.3.1. Remote site base station equipment is generally comprised of an equipment rack which contains a radio transceiver(s) and its ancillary miscellaneous radio equipment, a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) reference receiver(s) and miscellaneous associated equipment. 13.3.2. Remote site base station equipment will be replaced for Border CC and Inland CC under the CHPERS project. 13.3.3. Remote site base station equipment associated with LACC has recently been replaced. Remote site base station equipment associated with GGCC will soon be replaced as part of an approved CHP project unrelated to CHPERS. 13.3.3.1. LACCs recently replaced base stations will not meet FCC licensing requirements for the new CHPERS frequency assignments, the CHPERS project will replace these base stations with FCC compliant lowband base stations. The base stations that are to be replaced are fairly new; therefore, CHP
Page 26 of 86
will keep and use these base stations as back-up parts for other radios currently operational. 13.3.3.2. GGCCs current projects replacement base stations will also not meet FCC licensing requirements for the new CHPERS frequency assignments, the CHPERS project will provide newer FCC compliant lowband base stations for installation under the current GGCC project. The current GGCC projects original replacement base stations are fairly new; therefore, CHP will keep and use these base stations as back-up parts for other radios currently operational. The CHPERS project will also purchase replacement RF equipment for GGCC for installation at a later date (after the completion of the CHPERS project) as part of normal equipment replacement 13.3.4. Replacement of the existing simulcast base station equipment racks will involve the following steps: 13.3.4.1. Temporarily relocating the existing rack to make room for the new rack. 13.3.4.2. 13.3.4.3. 13.3.4.4. Installing and testing the new rack. Aligning and phasing the transmitters. Disconnecting the old rack and connecting the new rack when the new system is ready for cutover. 13.3.4.5. 13.4. Completely removing the old rack.
Dispatch Simulcast Control Equipment. CHPERS will replace the existing dispatch simulcast control equipment at Border CC and Inland CC. The existing dispatch simulcast control equipment at GGCC and LACC will not be replaced since that equipment has recently been or will soon be replaced; therefore, the CHPERS project will only purchase replacement dispatch simulcast control equipment for GGCC and LACC for installation at a later date (after the completion of the CHPERS project) as part of normal equipment replacement. 13.4.1. Replacement of the dispatch simulcast control equipment at Border CC and Inland CC is necessary due to the age and obsolescence of the
Page 27 of 86
existing equipment. Border CC and Inland CC are currently using simulcast control equipment that utilizes 15 year old technology. 13.4.2. Replacement of the dispatch simulcast control equipment at these communications centers will involve the following steps: 13.4.2.1. Temporarily relocating the existing dispatch simulcast control equipment to make room for the new dispatch simulcast control equipment. 13.4.2.2. Installing and testing the new dispatch simulcast control equipment. 13.4.2.3. 13.4.2.4. Aligning and phasing the system. Disconnecting the old dispatch simulcast control equipment and connecting the new dispatch simulcast control equipment when the new system is ready for cutover. 13.4.2.5. Completely removing the old dispatch simulcast control equipment. 13.5. As required, replace antennas (that are more than 5 years old), heliax cables, cavity filters and install additional cavity filters at all simulcast remote sites to facilitate duplex operation. 13.5.1. Replacement of older antennas is necessary to ensure maximum RF coverage and performance. 13.5.2. 13.5.3. Replacement of heliax cables is necessary to reduce RF signal loss. The CHPERS project includes the replacement of existing cavities and, as required, the installation of additional cavities to enhance the radio system. Cavities are used to filter out unwanted radio signals which can cause interference to the desired receive and transmit signals, as well as allows several base station transmitters to be coupled to a shared transmit antenna. 13.6. The existing voting equipment (which is currently part of the Avtec dispatch consoles) will be replaced when new dispatch consoles are procured. 13.6.1. CHPs simulcast radio systems use the voting equipment to select which receive audio is presented to the dispatcher and which audio is retransmitted to the mobile units. The voting equipment receives audio
Page 28 of 86
from multiple sites, evaluates which audio is the best receive audio (voted audio), and then presents the voted audio to the dispatcher. This voted audio is also sent to the associated simulcast transmitter sites and broadcasted to the mobile units. 13.6.2. The CHPERS project will purchase new dispatch consoles to replace the current CHP dispatch consoles. The CHPERS project will also purchase backup desktop consoles. 13.6.3. If the new dispatch consoles do not include built-in voting equipment, then external voting equipment must be purchased. 13.7. New frequency pairs will be assigned to each simulcast area to facilitate duplex operation. Duplex operation allows both transmit and receive functions to occur simultaneously (i.e., the dispatcher can still hear inbound radio traffic from a site that is currently being used to transmit). 13.8. Under the re-scope of the CHPERS project, CHP will continue to use vote steer in communications centers that are not currently operating with simulcast systems. In a vote steer radio system, receive audio from multiple sites is voted (as is implemented in a simulcast radio system) and the best receive audio (voted audio) is presented to the dispatcher. The vote steer radio system then automatically selects the transmitter associated with the voted audio as the transmitter that dispatch uses to reply to a mobile. Typically only one transmitter is selected at any given time. [Occasionally, in some limited areas, more than one transmitter may be configured to transmit simultaneously if their radio coverage areas are in isolated non-interfering regions. This configuration enables transmission to a greater number of mobile units during each single transmission]. 14. Frequencies 14.1. BLU Frequency Separation 14.1.1. Each non-simulcast division will have a new unique division wide BLU frequency pair (automatic vote steer using the current Avtec dispatch consoles repeat function1) using one of the newly identified lowband frequency pairs.
The Avtec dispatch consoles repeat function will not provide full area repeat coverage. If too many sites are selected to repeat, then simulcast interference problems are inherently introduced. Engineering must judiciously
Page 29 of 86
14.1.1.1.
A unique division wide BLU frequency pair for each division will permit each division to utilize their BLU channel for local incidents without interfering with the operations of neighboring divisions.
14.1.1.2.
The current statewide BLU frequency pair (42.34 / 42.18 MHz) and most primary frequency pairs are usually too close in frequency to have both of the channels operate simultaneously due to frequency interference. Therefore, a new BLU frequency pair will be required such that both the BLU channel and the primary channels can be operated independently and simultaneously with minimal interference.
14.1.2.
Border Division and Inland Division (except for the areas dispatched by Border CC and Inland CC) will each have a new unique division wide BLU frequency pair (automatic vote steer using the current Avtec dispatch consoles repeat function1) using one of the newly identified lowband frequency pairs. 14.1.2.1. The simulcast areas dispatched by Border CC and Inland CC will each have a different BLU simulcast frequency pair different from the conventional BLU frequency pair used in the remainder of their respective divisions. Both Border CC and Inland CC utilize simulcast radio systems while the remainder of their respective divisions use conventional radio systems. The two radio systems are non-compatible.
14.1.3.
Golden Gate Division and Southern Division will each have a new unique division wide BLU simulcast frequency pair since each of these divisions are entirely controlled by a single communications center (GGCC and LACC, respectively).
14.1.4.
The new division wide BLU frequency pairs will be referred to as the divisions Tactical (TAC) frequency.
14.1.5.
The separation of the BLU frequency will require the installation of new dedicated BLU base stations at remote radio sites. The new BLU base
select a site(s) that will provide the most repeat audio coverage without introducing simulcast interference in the intended coverage area.
Page 30 of 86
stations will be installed at the same remote radio sites that previously shared a PRI/BLU base station. New dedicated BLU base stations will be comprised of, at a minimum, the following: 14.1.5.1. 14.1.5.2. 14.1.5.3. 14.1.5.4. 14.2. Radio transceiver Filtering equipment (cavities, etc.) Ancillary miscellaneous radio equipment Antenna system and cabling
Primary Frequency Each areas existing primary frequency pair will be replaced with a different primary frequency pair (with 2 to 3 MHz separation between the TX and RX frequencies) which will facilitate duplex operation. The new CHPERS frequency plan, CHPERS Lowband Frequency Plan, can be found in Appendix C, Figure C7. The CHPERS Lowband Frequency Plan will indicate the final lowband frequency pair assignment that will be used in each CHP area. On the frequency plan, the assigned final frequencies were carefully selected in order to avoid frequency interference issues between CHP areas and other licensed users. The CHPERS Lowband Frequency Plan consists of three phases. 14.2.1. Phase 1: Interim Frequency Plan Map with Some Split Dispatch Regions. This map shows the transmit and receive frequencies that are required to be used during the frequency cutovers to eliminate interference between adjacent CHP areas. Some of the receive frequencies are interim frequencies. These interim frequencies will need to be changed to their final frequencies at a later date. This map includes the GGCC Aqua and Fresno Pink frequency splits. 14.2.2. Phase 2: Final Frequency Plan Map with Some Split Dispatch Regions. This map shows the final transmit and receive frequencies that are required to be used by CHP areas to eliminate interference between adjacent CHP areas (i.e., the interim frequencies have been changed). Implementation of these final receive frequencies will require some mobile reprogramming. 14.2.3. Phase 3: Final Frequency Plan Map with All Known Future Split Dispatch Regions.
Page 31 of 86
This map shows the final transmit and receive frequencies, as well as, the new (final) frequencies required for the future frequency splits for the Stockton White, Chico Brown, Merced Orange and Merced Yellow areas. Implementation of these splits will require mobile reprogramming. 14.3. UHF Frequency The CHP, with the assistance of the Public Safety Communications Division (PSCD), will continue to seek frequencies, as they become available in the UHF band, to enhance the current capabilities (tactical channels) of the CHP radio system. 14.4. 700 MHz Frequency 14.4.1. The CHPERS project has acquired a portion of the soon to be available 700 MHz frequencies for use with the vehicle repeater system and for use at area offices and inspection, scale and air operations facilities. 14.4.2. The 700 MHz frequencies will become available in those remaining (generally urban) regions when analog television broadcasting is converted to digital broadcasting in June 2009. 14.4.3. CHP has petitioned the Public Safety Radio Strategic Planning Committee (PSRSPC) and has secured the required 700 MHz frequencies (sixteen for VRS use and an additional eight for base station use). Actual 700 MHz frequency assignments for use in specific geographic regions will be accomplished once final analysis of service and interference areas have been completed. 14.5. Car-to-Car Frequency The car-to-car frequency will continue to use the lowband frequency band. 14.6. Frequency Splits The following frequency splits are not part of the CHPERS project. They are projects managed by CHP Telecommunications Section (CHP-TS). However, the CHPERS project will assist in the implementation of the Fresno PNK split. These splits will be implemented at a later date after the completion of the CHPERS project. 14.6.1. GGCC AQA (Work Authorization issued)

Use of Vote and Steer 15.1. Per CHP direction, the CHPERS project will continue to use vote steer in all areas except Border CC, Inland CC, LACC and GGCC. Simulcast radio systems will continue to be used in the four aforementioned communications centers. 15.2. In a vote steer radio system, receive audio from multiple sites is voted (as is implemented in a simulcast radio system) and the best receive audio (voted audio) is presented to the dispatcher. The vote steer radio system then automatically selects the transmitter associated with the voted audio as the transmitter that dispatch uses to reply to a mobile. Typically only one transmitter is selected at any given time. [Occasionally, in some limited areas, more than one transmitter may be configured to transmit simultaneously if their radio coverage areas are in isolated non-interfering regions. This configuration enables transmission to a greater number of mobile units during each single transmission].
16.
Add Inbound Repeating to Critical Conventional Vote and Steer Areas 16.1. The current Avtec dispatch consoles repeat function will be enabled for all conventional primary vote steer frequencies and for all conventional BLU/TAC vote steer frequencies. 16.2. The primary simulcast and the BLU/TAC simulcast frequencies at GGCC, LACC, Border CC and Inland CC will be repeated via the current Avtec dispatch consoles simulcast repeat function. 16.3. In order to avoid coverage overlap (simulcast interference) problems in conventional non-simulcast areas, PSCD engineering must judiciously select an optimum remote site (or sites) that will provide the most repeat audio coverage (i.e., maximize the area that repeat audio is heard) without introducing coverage overlap (simulcast interference) problems in the intended geographical coverage
Page 33 of 86
area. Repeat sites will be determined by PSCD at a later date by using computer generated RF propagation coverage analysis software. 16.4. Vote steer repeat coverage will not cover the entire conventional vote steer geographical area of operation since not all transmitters will be on at the same time. 16.5. It must be understood that vote steer repeat is not currently used in the conventional vote steer geographical areas and that this repeat scheme is an enhancement over having no repeat coverage. 17. CPVE for Interoperability and Network / Radio Integration 17.1. The CHPERS project will acquire a Consolidated Patrol Vehicle Environment (CPVE) and associated new mobile radios. The CPVE is a technology driven, hardware and software system that will allow for radio interoperability on multiple public safety radio frequency bands and will consolidate all radio, mobile digital computer, emergency lights and siren control functions, and additional functions into one radio control head. 17.2. In addition to the CPVE, the CHPERS project will replace the existing obsolete (1980s vintage) lowband mobile radios with an industry-standard lowband mobile radio. 17.3. The CHPERS project will also install additional industry-standard mobile radios (on different frequency bands) in the patrol vehicles. Using these additional mobile radios, the CPVE will be able to connect disparate radio systems together to achieve user level interoperability. 17.4. The CPVE will also include a 700 MHz vehicle repeater system (VRS). 17.4.1. The VRS will allow officers to use the mobile radios in the patrol vehicle while standing some distance away from the vehicle. 17.4.2. The VRS will also give the officers the ability to control the vehicles mobile radios remotely and be able to switch from the primary channel to tactical and emergency channels and change radios without returning to the vehicle.

18.
700 / 800 MHz Extended Range for Portable Communications 18.1. For portable radio communications, CHP officers will use a 700/800 MHz portable radio which can communicate with the 700 MHz VRS which will be acquired as part of the CPVE. 18.2. In order for the CHP enforcement officers to have radio communication outside of the vehicle, each enforcement vehicle is to be equipped with a VRS to extend mobile radio capabilities. 18.2.1. While away from the vehicle, the officer will use a 700/800 MHz portable radio to control the vehicles mobile radios via the VRS and CPVE. 18.2.2. Control from the portable radio is achieved by physical channel/mode switch selections on the portable. 18.2.3. The portable radio is to be programmed with channels using different 700 MHz frequency pairs along with a different Project 25 (P25) Network Access Code (NAC) signaling code for each of these frequency pairs. When a vehicle is used in a specific primary dispatch channel area, selecting a specific NAC code on the assigned 700 MHz VRS link channel assigned to that area will cause portable radio communications with the VRS to be steered to, and repeated on, a specific mobile radio and channel. The required 700 MHz frequency pairs have not yet been assigned for VRS operation. 18.2.4. The specific association between portable radio channel and NAC code and the corresponding mobile radio and channel are to be predefined in the CPVE in a Radio Channel Assignment Table (RCAT) (yet to be fully developed). 18.2.5. When operating outside of the normally assigned patrol area, the selection of that new geographic area on the CPVE will cause the automatic selection of the corresponding 700 MHz VRS link frequency pair for portable radio operation in that new area. This enables this vehicle to function in the same way as other vehicles normally assigned to the area. 18.2.6. The VRS unit will also be equipped with the necessary logic to prevent multiple VRS units from transmitting simultaneously and causing
Page 35 of 86
interference when they are on the same 700 MHz link frequency and in the same vicinity. 18.3. The 700 MHz VRS radio link will operate on a duplex frequency pair using P25 Phase 1 digital modulation and will be protected against nuisance interference by NAC signaling on transmissions between the officer and the vehicle. 18.4. It shall be possible for a user to remotely activate the VRS system mode of operation from a portable radio on the VRS link channel. The system mode will enable repeat operation of portable radio transmissions through a selected mobile radio in the vehicle as well as repeating portable to portable transmissions. 18.5. A capability exists in the CPVE to allow a portable radio on the link channel to connect the VRS to any preconfigured cross patch radio bus. This VRS connection will be done without causing a cross repeat between radios of independent radio buses. The mobile radios on each independently configured radio bus are still to cross repeat only with radios on the same bus, but with the addition of the VRS when connected. The ability to switch the VRS connection onto or off of any of these cross patch buses from a portable radio is to be achieved by the selection of specific channel switch positions dedicated to these cross patch buses. 18.6. The actual operating distance between the portable radio and the VRS (CHP has proposed one to two miles) will need to be determined. This distance is over open ground. Buildings and other obstructions will reduce the effective operational distance. Some operational scenarios will require operation at reduced power to achieve shortened distances in order to minimize interference between users of independent operations, especially in denser urban regions. 18.7. If the portable radio is properly and legally programmed, the CHP portable radio will be able to communicate directly with other agencies 700/800 MHz radio systems thus achieving an additional method of radio interoperability. 18.8. Frequency analysis of the Public Safety 700 MHz band included the determination of the reuse of a 700 MHz channel for efficient spectrum use. One example is shown in Figure C1 in Appendix C. 18.9. The specific 700 MHz channels being evaluated for the VRS link channels are shown in Figure C2 (Base Channels) and Figure C3 (Mobile Channels) in Appendix C.

Replacement of CHPs Radio Infrastructure The CHPERS project will replace CHPs radio equipment infrastructure which is past its useful life expectancy. Additionally, where feasible and cost effective, the CHPERS project will also replace radio vaults and towers that do not meet the States requirements and/or are in need of major structural improvements or repairs via the Capital Outlay Budget Change Proposal (COBCP) process. DGS Real Estate Services Division (DGSRESD), Project Management Branch (PMB), will assist CHP in the implementation of any Capital Outlay projects. 19.1. Facility Enhancements 19.1.1. The CHPERS project will provide the following facility enhancements: 19.1.1.1. When equipment (CHP and/or non-CHP) movement is required to create space in radio vaults, CHP will pay the cost of moving the equipment. 19.1.1.2. When antenna (CHP and/or non-CHP) movement is required to create space on antenna towers, CHP will pay the cost of moving the antenna and will pay for testing to ensure the performance of that antenna is not adversely affected. 19.1.1.3. At sites where batteries can be consolidated into a battery bank to create additional space in the radio vault, CHP will pay the cost of moving and consolidating those batteries. 19.1.1.4. At non-capital outlay sites, deteriorating radio vault buildings may be replaced with prefabricated radio vaults where feasible. 19.1.1.5. Replacement of some radio vaults and towers that do not meet the States requirements and/or are in need of major structural improvements or repairs will be done by the COBCP process. 19.1.2. The CHPERS project will not provide: 19.1.2.1. 19.1.2.2. 19.1.2.3. 19.1.2.4. Additional fencing. Concrete walls around propane tanks. Installation of No Trespassing signs. Alarms or video surveillance.

19.1.3.
Additionally, the CHPERS project will replace all roof mounted towers and all wood telephone pole antenna structures at CHP remote sites and facilities with self supporting towers.
19.1.4.
The CHPERS Unit will work in conjunction with DGS-RESD and DGSPMB, to coordinate, schedule and construct any required new vaults and towers.
19.1.5.
PSCD will help to identify vaults and towers that need modification and/or replacement and will develop vault and/or tower specification requirements.
19.1.6.
Currently, all COBCP sites have not yet been identified. Identification is an ongoing effort. Additionally, sites that are designated as COBCP may be changed to a non-COBCP site at a later date. Refer to Appendix B for a list of sites currently identified as requiring facility upgrades via the COBCP process.
19.2.
Remote Sites 19.2.1. If new remote sites are needed, the following site selection methodology (in order of preference) will be used: 19.2.1.1. Use existing vote steer sites that have existing State microwave. 19.2.1.2. Use existing vote steer sites that are planned to have State microwave. 19.2.1.3. 19.2.1.4. 19.2.2. Use existing State microwave sites. Use existing State VHF sites.
Proposed remote site hardware enhancements: 19.2.2.1. 19.2.2.2. Replace, as necessary, obsolete CHP radio equipment. Replace existing lowband base stations except those associated GGCC. The CHPERS project will purchase replacement lowband base stations for GGCC. However, these new lowband base stations will be installed as part of a current project which is unrelated to CHPERS. 19.2.2.3. Replace all existing CHP UHF and 150 MHz control link circuit base stations.

Deleted. 19.3. Communications Centers 19.3.1. The CHPERS project will continue to use vote steer in all areas not currently simulcasted while simulcast will continue to be used in all areas that are currently simulcasted. 19.3.2. Communications centers will vote steer their BLU/TAC frequencies similar to the method currently employed. 19.3.3. The current Avtec dispatch console's repeat function1 will be used to repeat the best voted audio. 19.3.4. Communications centers will be connected to each other via a dedicated State microwave Wide Area Network (WAN) system, utilizing the new State digital microwave system, configured for voice traffic priority and quality of service to support the newer generation Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) dispatch consoles.

19.5.
Inspection Facilities 19.5.1. At each inspection facility, the CHPERS project will install a lowband control station on the appropriate frequencies to allow access to their primary and BLU/TAC frequencies. 19.5.2. Additionally, the CHPERS project will install a 700/800 MHz base station (cross-banded to the lowband control station) to allow officers in the inspection bays using 700 MHz portable radios to have direct communications with their communications center. 19.5.3. If necessary, desktop consoles will be installed to control the control stations.

19.5.5.
As practical, radio equipment will be removed from inspection facilities that can access, via the 700 MHz portable radios, the 700/800 MHz base station at adjacent inspection or scale facilities. CHP will make this final determination.
19.5.6. 19.6.
Refer to Appendix B for a list of CHPs inspection facilities.
Scale and Air Operations Facilities 19.6.1. Scale and Air Operations Facilities 19.6.1.1. Scale Facilities 19.6.1.1.1. Each scale facility will have unique operational needs as defined by CHP. At a minimum, the scale facilities will have the same lowband communications functionality that they currently have. 19.6.1.1.2. As required, replace the lowband base station or desktop base station and ancillary equipment with a lowband control station to allow access to the lowband radio system. 19.6.1.1.3. Install a 700/800 MHz radio base station (crossbanded to the lowband control station) to allow officers in the inspection bays, using 700 MHz portable radios, to have direct communication with their communications center. 19.6.1.1.4. As practical, radio equipment will be removed from scale facilities that can access, via the 700 MHz portable radios, the 700/800 MHz base station at adjacent scale or inspection facilities. CHP will make this final determination. 19.6.1.1.5. Install a (or replace the) desktop console, as required, if replacement equipment is available.

Install a (or replace the) desktop console, as required, if replacement equipment is available. 19.6.1.2.3. Install a new 700/800 MHz radio and ancillary equipment. 19.6.1.2.4. Avionics radios will not be replaced since replacement equipment is not available.
19.6.2. 19.6.3.
Deleted. If the newly installed control stations are not desktop units, then the CHPERS project will install desktop consoles to control these stations.
19.6.4.
The CHPERS Unit will identify any other CHP locations that will require fixed radio equipment and will make a determination as to what communications capability each location will have.
19.6.5.
Refer to Appendix B for a list of public scales, resident posts and other CHP facilities.
19.7.
Operational Cutover 19.7.1. The CHPERS project will implement operational cutover using a phased approach with each area/frequency having its own cutover date. However, in some cases, multiple frequencies within a communications center may be cutover at the same time to alleviate technically challenges. 19.7.1.1. Each area/frequency affected by a cutover will be advised that communications and day-to-day operations will be impacted during the cutover. 19.7.1.2. A comprehensive operational cutover plan, for each area/frequency, will be jointly developed between CHPERS Unit, CHP-TS and PSCD to minimize the actual total time that communications and day-to-day operations are impacted. 19.7.2. In order to reduce communications and day-to-day operations down time, the following must be completed prior to the operational cutover date.
Page 42 of 86
19.7.2.1. 19.7.2.2.
All affected vehicles must be reprogrammed. All affected remote sites must have its new equipment installed and ready to cutover.
19.7.2.3.
All affected communications centers must have its dispatch consoles reprogrammed, to the extent possible, and ready to cutover.
19.7.3.
Affected area and division offices, inspection, scale and air operations facilities do not need to cutover at the same time as the operational cutover; however, they should be cutover as soon as possible after the operational cutover date since they will be without communications.
20.
Meeting FCC Requirements for Narrow Banding 20.1. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations mandate that by 2011 all new installations of 150 MHz and 450 MHz radio systems must be narrow banded (12.5 kHz channel spacing) and that by 2013 all existing 150 MHz and 450 MHz systems must also be converted to narrow band. 20.2. Mobiles, portables and control link circuit base stations will also need to be changed and/or reprogrammed to meet the FCC narrow band requirement. 20.3. The CHPERS project will purchase replacement 150 MHz and 450 MHz fixed base and control link circuit base station equipment. The CHPERS project will install the 150 MHz equipment. However, the CHPERS project will only install the 450 MHz equipment (in wide band mode) at only those sites where the CHPERS project will be replacing other equipment. 20.4. The replacement (under a concurrent project) of the other existing UHF wideband equipment may occur in parallel with the implementation of the CHPERS requirements. 20.4.1. In some cases, the replacement of UHF wideband equipment in some divisions will occur prior to CHPERS implementation in those divisions to ensure that the new UHF narrow band equipment can be cutover on a statewide basis at the same time.

Acquisition of Additional Radio Spectrum (Area, Division, Statewide) 21.1. An overview was developed of lowband VHF spectrum for public safety use, as shown in Figure C4 of Appendix C. This overview identified existing frequencies currently used by CHP as well as blocks of frequencies where additional spectrum with sufficient frequency separation might be obtained for use as new mobile relay based channels. 21.2. Some additional lowband VHF frequencies have been identified for supporting the additional capabilities required by the CHPERS project. 21.2.1. Frequencies in this newly identified group are authorized by the FCC for use by state police agencies, but only if a frequency is identified in a National Plan as being approved for use by a particular state. To minimize interference on these frequencies for nationwide use, they each must be incorporated into the National Plan and identified as to which states are eligible to use which frequency. Following that first step of getting additional frequencies placed on the National Plan for use by the State of California, the following steps have also been accomplished: 1) Obtaining the necessary frequency coordination by APCO and 2) Obtaining a FCC license modification to add these frequencies to CHPs mobile license. 21.3. An additional frequency analysis was performed to locate potential additional lowband VHF frequencies and to lay out a statewide lowband VHF frequency plan. Refer to the CHPERS Lowband Frequency Plan, Figure C7, Appendix C. 21.3.1. This analysis included searches for areas of the State where potential frequencies might be used by CHP and that would not interfere with existing State or non-State agencies. See Figure C5 in Appendix C for an example of a search result showing areas of the State where a frequency is already licensed by other agencies. 21.3.2. Results of an extensive frequency search of many frequencies showed the areas of the State where different frequencies were potentially available. See Figure C6 in Appendix C for a summary table of lowband VHF spectrum and areas of potential use for these frequencies. 21.3.3. The frequency search results described above were taken one step further by assigning frequencies to individual CHP areas and divisions in
Page 44 of 86
a way that enabled frequencies to be re-used without interfering with other areas or divisions, or other FCC licensees. See Figure C7 in Appendix C for the assignment of lowband frequencies pairs throughout the State based on channel requirements identified by CHP. 21.3.4. In an attempt to locate sufficient potential frequencies to support the requirements identified by CHP, some frequencies listed in the frequency plan (Appendix C, Figure C7) are based on assumptions that had to be made at the time. 21.3.4.1. The frequency plan includes one mobile only 39 MHz frequency that typically requires an FCC license waiver for use as a base station transmit frequency. This frequency is already licensed and is being used by CHP as a base station transmit frequency for the existing COP1 channel. This frequency will continue to be used as a base station transmit frequency in the same area in the new system plan. 21.3.4.1. The frequency plan also includes a few frequencies that CHP and California Youth Authority (CYA) share in Southern California for temporary base station use, if necessary. Two of these frequencies are also already licensed and currently being used by CHP as fixed base station transmit frequencies in Southern California; and will continue to be used as base station transmit frequencies in the same area in the new system. A third frequency, also shared with CYA for temporary base station use, is being planned for use as a new base station transmit frequency in Southern California. Confirmation from CYA will be required to confirm CHPs base station use of this frequency as the BLU1 frequency in the Inland Simulcast region. 21.4. Modifications to the CHPERS Lowband Frequency Plan described above may be necessary because of any of the following factors: 21.4.1. 21.4.2. Changes to the total number of channels required in specific regions. Deleted.
Page 45 of 86
21.4.3.
The fact that an FCC license for any planned radio site automatically expires if equipment is not installed and the site made operational by the time allotted by the FCC license.
21.4.4.
The assumptions regarding the availability of a few of the frequencies assumed earlier prove not to be true.
21.5.
PSCD will inform CHP of available lowband frequencies that may become available but will not actively pursue any additional frequencies other than additional lowband frequencies that may be required to implement the CHPERS project.
21.6.
The CHPERS project intends to obtain additional frequencies in the lowband and high band VHF bands and in the UHF band for future use. Additional UHF frequency requirements can be determined once it is known where additional coverage is required.
21.7.
These additional frequencies will be used for area, division, and/or statewide future operational requirements.

Integration of CHP Infrastructure With the State Digital Microwave System 23.1. PSCD is currently converting the States analog microwave system to a digital microwave system which will support new agency needs and provide better reliability with the use of higher quality circuits. This digital microwave conversion effort is a legislatively approved PSCD project and is funded separately from the CHPERS project. 23.1.1. The new State digital microwave system is a Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) integrated digital network. Reference Appendix A, Figure A9, Public Safety Microwave System Map, for a current map of the State microwave system. 23.1.2. The network consists of nine major backbone routes. Each route consists of digital microwave radios with the capacity of 28 DS1s, operating in the 6 GHz frequency band.
Page 46 of 86
23.1.3.
The network also consists of numerous local routes using 960 MHz, 11 GHz, and/or 18 GHz microwave radios.
23.1.4.
The network utilizes Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS) to switch voice or data traffic between digital microwave radios and digital T1 channel banks.
23.1.5.
T1 channel banks provide the interface (voice and data) between CHP radio equipment and the digital microwave network at remote sites and communications centers.
23.2.
The CHPERS project will not replace any analog microwave equipment at CHP remote sites, except as scheduled via the microwave conversion program.
23.3.
The CHPERS project does not plan to install new microwave paths to replace existing control link circuits (phone lines, 70 MHz, 150 MHz and 450 MHz control links circuits). However, depending on funding availability, the replacement of some existing control link circuits with microwave paths may occur. If so, PSCD will assist CHP in identifying and prioritizing control link circuits for possible conversion.
23.4.
The CHPERS project will use microwave control link circuits (and install new microwave paths, as needed) only when new CHP sites are developed or in support of the existing CHP simulcast radio systems.
23.5.
Receive only sites, if no State microwave is available, will continue to use leased telephone lines or either VHF or UHF control link circuits.
23.6.
CHP communications centers will be connected to each other via a State microwave WAN system, utilizing the new State digital microwave system, dedicated to CHPs use, configured for voice traffic priority and quality of service. 23.6.1. To implement the above dedicated State WAN system, updated microwave equipment (modems, multiplex shelves, ethernet converters, etc.) will need to be installed at CHP communications centers. 23.6.2. If possible, the above dedicated State WAN system may be connected to the existing CHP WAN depending on system compatibility and network security. 23.6.3. The above dedicated State WAN system is required for the newer generation VoIP dispatch consoles that will be purchased by CHPERS.
Page 47 of 86
23.7.
It is anticipated that the State digital microwave system, as it expands and becomes more capable, in the future, may be expanded to include remote radio sites for direct control of radio base stations via the WAN.
24.
Communications Center Dispatch Console Upgrade 24.1. The CHPERS project will only purchase replacement communications center dispatch consoles. Installation of the replacement consoles will be the responsibility of CHPs Telecommunications Section (CHP-TS) and they will be installed under another CHP project unrelated to CHPERS. 24.1.1. CHP has determined that the current communications center dispatch consoles (Avtec) are near the end of their useful life expectancy. 24.1.2. Installation of the new replacement communications center dispatch consoles may occur in parallel with the implementation of CHPERS requirements if the new consoles become available. 24.2. The CHPERS Unit will coordinate with CHPs Communications Center Support Section and CHP-TS to ensure all CHPs requirements are included in any new dispatch console purchase. 24.3. CHP communications centers will be connected to each other via a State microwave WAN system as discussed above at a later date. 24.4. Basic functions and requirements of any new dispatch console are, but not limited to, the following: 24.4.1. 24.4.2. 24.4.3. Provide the same functionality as the current Avtec consoles Provide both simulcast and vote steer functionality Provide inter-console control of remote sites in order to provide redundancy (i.e., allow communications centers to back each other up) 24.4.4. 24.4.5. 24.4.6. 24.5. Provide inbound voted audio repeat functionality Provide VoIP capability Project 25 (P25) capable
The operational cutover of any new dispatch console will involve the following: 24.5.1. The existing dispatch console needs to be moved to make space for the new dispatch console; however, while moved, the existing dispatch console must be kept operational.

NARROWBAND CHANNELS: Two may be combined provided that the lower channel number is odd (e.g., 1, 3, 5) Four may be combined provided that the lower channel number is 1 + 4n, n = 0 to 479 (e.g., 1, 5,1917) Channel numbers for combined channels are designated by the lowest and highest channel numbers separated by a hyphen, e.g., "1-2" and 1-4". Narrowband channels must maintain a data throughput efficiency of not less than 4.8 kbps for each 6.25 kHz of bandwidth.
As an example, a single 12.5 kHz channel is made up of two adjacent 6.25 kHz channel allocations (25-26) from Segment 1 for base or "vehicular repeater" transmit that is paired with FCC defined adjacent channel allocations (985-986) from Segment 3 for mobile or "portable" transmit.

Notes: 1. A number "1" in a cell indicates the frequency of the corresponding column is potentially available for use in a CHP Area. 2. Use of a Mobile-Only frequency as a base transmit talk-out frequency will require a FCC waiver. 3. Database of potentially available frequencies upon which "Preliminary Low Band VHF Talk-Out Frequency Assignments by CHP Operational Areas" (dated 11-22-2005) is based. Number in a cell indicates those CHP Areas whose closest boundary is greater than 75 km from the interference contour of sites of all existing FCC licensed users -- interference contour defined by FCC R-6602 (Carey) Interference contour.
Frequency Coordinator: PP - Police
PO - Forestry Conservation
PX - All except Special Emergency
