Note: Rebanding of Sprint Nextel in Florida runs from late 2006 to early 2008.

Public-safety frequencies in the 821-824/866-868 MHz must swap to the 851-854 MHz range exactly 15 MHz lower after general public-safety services in the 806-809/851-854 MHz range swap to 809-814/854-859 MHz.

Approximately 4.5 MHz of additional 800 MHz spectrum will become available for new and expanded public safety operations once Sprint Nextel vacates all channels below 817/862 MHz and certain other frequency changes are completed.

In the Orange County Florida area the City of Apopka, Disneyworld (Reedy Creek), Lake County Sheriff's Office, and encrypted City of Winter Park public-safety services are now using Motorola P25 Astro digital voice. In addition, most police departments in the area are using Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) and some Computer-Aided Dispatching (CAD) plus Nextel.

In the Orange County area, Florida Highway Patrol FHP Troop K (Turnpike) and FHP Troop D (Orlando) stopped using the old analog-voice VHF and UHF radio systems. They switched to Motorola P25 Astro 800 MHz and switched again to encrypted M/A-COM ProVoice.

The State of Florida, under former Governor Jeb Bush and his administration, made a bad decision to replace their digital Motorola P25 Astro 800-MHz system with a digital proprietary and encrypted M/A-COM EDACS ProVoice 800-MHz system. That means citizens with the new Project-25 (P25) digital radio scanners cannot monitor the Florida Highway Patrol, Florida National Guard, and many other state agencies plus a few local police departments that pay MA/COMM to use the radio system. Even worse is the non-compatibility with Project-25 because the federal government and most local governments have decided to use Project-25 (P25 Astro) because it is the public-safety digital standard.

The biggest issue is not the mobile computer data of MDTs, but no longer being able to hear voice transmissions of urgent information in realtime. That is just one of many good reasons why all citizens should object to having closed communications because of Tyco's MA/COMM.

The Florida Highyway Patrol (FHP) also uses a mobile computer system. The system provides in-car access to data including the state/National Crime Information Center interface, paging interfaces, e-mail interfaces, records management interfaces (Offense Reports, Arrest Reports and Warrant Tracking, Evidence Records, Field Interviews, Traffic Citations, Master Name Index, Master Business Index, Pawn Ticket and Pawn Hit, Uniform Crime Reporting, Traffic Crash, Records Management Reporting, Charge Configuration and Trespass Warning), live CAD, report review and approval, and other customizable interfaces. Features of the Mobile Computer system include a notepad, a to-do list with alarms, traffic citation with printing, traffic crash reporting, and mobile offense reports. An officer initiating a traffic stop can get information on the vehicle that is being stopped, as well as who the driver might be and maybe even a mugshot. Using information from the driver’s license, an officer can get up-to-the-minute data from various databases including the department’s databases and maybe even regional databases. If another officer stops the same individual 5 minutes later, that officer can see any data that was recorded 5 minutes ago. Officers who are coming back from several days off can get up to speed quickly by checking their computers to see what happened in their assigned areas while they were off. If an officer is called to a house, using the Mobile Computer Terminal and tapping into Remote Management System can warn the officer if there is a registered gun in the house or if occupants of the house are known to be violent.

Project Overview

The Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System (SLERS) project is to provide State law enforcement officers with a shared 800 MHz radio system. When completed, this digital, computerized system will serve over 6500 users with over 14,000 radios in patrol cars, boats, motorcycles, and aircraft wherever they are in the state.

Project Management and Personnel

The State Technology Office (STO) manages this enterprise project. Section 282.1095, Florida Statutes. authorizes the State Technology Office to acquire and implement a statewide radio communications system along with the advisory Joint Task Force (JTF) on State Agency Law Enforcement Communications. This statute also establishes the State Agency Law Enforcement Radio System Trust Fund in the State Technology Office. Under the statute, the State Technology Office is responsible for the design, engineering, acquisition and implementation of the system.Agencies are included in the 800 MHz system either by statutory reference (Section 282.1095, Florida Statutes) or by acceptance into the Governor's Enterprise-wide Sharing of Resources Model. Both categories of members receive equipment and services, as provided by the M/A-COM contract. The statutory agencies are:

These agencies are statutorily referenced to comprise the Joint Task Force on State Agency Law Enforcement Communications (JTF). Under Section 282.1095(4)(b), Florida Statutes, the Joint Task Force may authorize other state agencies to use the 800 MHz system.

Other agencies that fall under the umbrella of the Governor's Enterprise-wide Sharing agreement include:

State University police departments can be ex officio members. The universities currently participating are:

As of March 2007, there are nine approved Local, State, and Federal public safety entities that are third-party subscribers:

Local public sector entities can become third-party subscribers upon reaching mutually-agreeable terms with M/A-COM and subject to final STO approval.

 

Air-to-ground communications

In conjunction with the SLERS ground-based telecommunications system is a set of special air-to-ground communications sites utilizing 800 MHz frequencies. These sites were specifically created to allow state agency aircraft to communicate directly on the talk groups used by these personnel during routine or special operations in order to coordinate operations with ground personnel. An example of use would be a Florida Highway Patrol aircraft spotting speeders on an interstate highway and radioing the information to patrol vehicles on the ground on a standard patrol talk group or a special tactical talk group.

Since aircraft usually operate well above the ground in their normal activities, interference that would be caused by the overshoot of radio signals from the aircraft to towers beyond the area of operations would be a significant problem if it were not for the special air-to-ground communications sites. Frequencies for ten air-to-ground communications sites were carefully selected to minimize the chances for interference and only aircraft are equipped with the specific frequencies. Otherwise, ground units could lock onto the sites and use up the available channels. These ten sites are sufficient to cover the entire state and offshore and to spread the traffic more evenly between sites and channels. They are located in the following counties: Okaloosa, Gulf, Taylor, Clay, Citrus, Orange, Sarasota, St. Lucie, and Monroe (two sites).

To optimize the use of air-to-ground communications, antenna locations are carefully selected on each aircraft to provide the best signal. Usually this means locating the antenna on the bottom aft section of the aircraft. Also, pilots routinely operate the radios in the wide-area or manual system mode rather than in the automatic system selection or Proscan mode in order to prevent the radio from jumping to a different site than the site preferred for the given air-to-ground operation.

M/A-COM and the EDACS System

The State's partner for the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System is M/A-COM, a subsidiary of Tyco Electronics. The radio system will be M/A-COM's digital, trunked EDACS system. For further information regarding M/A-COM, see http://www.macom.com.

Mutual Radio Communications

Planned build out of nine mutual aid channels throughout the state. Build-out involves licensing the frequencies, adding over 328 base stations and antenna systems to existing tower sites, and connecting the new channels to existing dispatch centers.

The nine channels in the mutual aid build-out are not yet statewide and coverage is estimated at between 38 percent to 94 percent, depending on the frequency. The new base stations will be added to ninety-three tower sites currently used for the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System (SLERS). The use of existing sites expedites the rollout of the additional channels and provides efficiency for system maintenance as M/A-COM is already servicing those sites. Combiners are used to minimize the number of new antennas needed and reduce the amount of tower space required.

FCC Designated Public Safety Interoperability Channels

Recently, the FCC forced narrowband operation around certain frequencies in the VHF-High Band and UHF bands to create more Interoperability Channels. As a result, the following channels are designated for Interoperability under Part 90 of the FCC Rules, Subparts B, R and S: 47 CFR 90.20(c), 90.531(b), 90.617(a)(1), and 90.619(c)(1).

Analog TV Broadcast Channels

Note: The analog frequencies will become obsolete when TV stations and viewers are forced to change to digital TV signals by February 17, 2009.
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/otiahome/dtv/index.html

The standard broadcast channels are the twelve VHF channels 2 through 6 and 7 through 13. The UHF channels are numbered 14 to 83, but some of these channels have been reassigned to other types of non-television communications services. All of these broadcast channels have three valid frequencies for each and every channel. The frequency shown for each channel is the "center frequency" of the NTSC visual carrier for that channel. In order to minimize interference between two television stations that could share the same channel number, a 10-kilohertz frequency offset is assigned to television stations that are nearby (200 miles is typical). The three valid picture carrier frequencies for a US television station operating on channel 2 would be 55.240 MHz, 55.250 MHz and 55.260 MHz. There are no other channel 2 video transmitter frequencies for use in the United States. The same plus and minus 10 kilohertz spacings apply to all VHF and UHF television channels for broadcast transmission in the US.

The color and sound information contained in an NTSC television signal will have the following frequency offsets from the video carrier frequencies. The color sub-carrier has a frequency of 3.579545 MHz. This sub-carrier is phase modulated with the color information of the picture and occupies approximately 1 MHz of bandwidth. The sound carrier is a frequency modulated signal with an average frequency of 4.5 MHz, plus or minus 1 kilohertz. The occupied bandwidth of this signal is approximately 75 kilohertz or less. When digital television signals become widespread, there will be a single carrier with all video and audio information as part of the digital bit stream. The resulting quadrature modulated carrier will be centered in the 6 MHz channel. The standard NTSC video carriers are normally 1.25 MHz above the lower band edge of the channel, while the sound carrier is 0.25 MHz below the upper band edge of the channel. These two offsets are the result of the 4.5 MHz difference in the two carrier frequencies.

As for the cable channels, there are different rules. Since the signals are to be kept inside the coaxial cable environment, many additional channel frequencies exist. In the event of signal leakage into the air, the channels which could interfere with aviation radio navigation and communications have frequency offsets applied to them of 12.5 kilohertz or 25 kilohertz. Any other cable channel which does not pose a risk to aviation frequencies will not have a frequency offset.
