Project Origination and Approach

The DOJ High-Risk Metropolitan Areas Interoperability Assistance Project (25 Cities) was developed at the request of the House/Senate CJS Appropriations Subcommittee staff in 2003. In response to the request, the DOJ Wireless Management Office (WMO) presented and received approval for a plan to - – Provide federal law enforcement/homeland security agencies with basic inter-systems

communication for emergency situations– Provide federal agents with the ability to connect with key local authorities (e.g., fire, police,

emergency medical services) in metropolitan areas that are the most likely targets for attack

25 cities were identified for interoperability improvements based on a combination of various criteria including DHS/DOJ data calls, GAO reports and assessments of major airports, population, tourism and potential target hazards (e.g., military installations, ports)

The WMO worked in tandem with local, state and federal representatives in each city to develop mutually agreeable and unique interoperability solutions tailored to that city/region. Where applicable, DOJ has leveraged existing communications infrastructure and ongoing local area interoperability initiatives

25 Cities Solution in San Francisco:

Solution Development

The solution was based on a consensus reached during meetings and teleconferences held from August 2003, through March 2005, involving local, state, and federal government representatives from the San Francisco metropolitan area, DOJ WMO representatives, and DOJ contractor support staff.

Procurement difficulties largely responsible for delayed implementation.

SmartLink fixed audio switch technology selected based on proven successes, cost-effectiveness and expandability.

11 11



Solution Description

5 Channels combined to create one consolidated channel.

--Low Band CLEMERS 7 (FCC)

--VHF High Band SF MA V-A (Federal)

--UHF SF MA U-A (Federal)

--UHF T-Band SF MA T-A (FCC)

--800 Mhz 8TAC94 (FCC)

The default setting for the SmartLink switch is to have all of these channels always on and always linked.

12 12




Two Federal interoperability channels have also been deployed

--VHF High Band SF FED-V (Federal)

--UHF SF FED-U (Federal)

These two channels are linked to each other in the default setting, but are not linked to the consolidated 5 band channel. These channels are intended primarily for fed to fed communications.

13 13




All 7 channels have a single transmit location at the City of San Francisco’s Twin Peaks radio site with with no associated receiver sites.

The SmartLink switch is located at Twin Peaks.

Control consoles are located at:

(1) FBI Headquarters, Golden Gate Avenue and;

(2) San Francisco Department of Emergency Management/Division of Emergency Communications Turk Street location

Consoles provide cross banding and patching capabilities of the five-channel solution and the two federal interoperability channels. SmartLink switch can link these channels in any configuration.
