8. Design Overview • Alternatives: • Alternative 1 – 700 MHz / VHF Overlay Statewide • 700 MHz and VHF by Area in the State • 700 MHz and VHF by County • 700 MHz and VHF by Agency-Discipline • Alternative 2 – 700 MHz Statewide • County, District, Region Interoperability • VHF Federal Interoperability • Ongoing VHF Operations

9. Design Overview • Recommendation :Statewide 700 MHz System, is the most viable architecture for meeting the shared system project objectives. • Unified shared systems statewide for ease of operation • Interoperability • Coverage • Reliability • Emergency access • Ability to support new technologies • System operational transparency • Commonality of equipment

10. Design Overview • Implementation Phases • Phase 0 – Implementation Planning • Phase 1 – Master Sites and Backbone Support • Phase 2 – Regional Build-out • Phase 3 – Completion Phase

11. Design Overview • Phase 0 – Implementation Planning • Assemble and Fund Project Management Teams: • Develop Project Schedules • Develop Governance, Site Sharing and MOUs • Fine Tune Implementation Sequence based on Implementation Priorities • Structure and Issue Phase 1 RFPs • Install the Funded 700 MHz Sites • Upgrade Supporting Microwave • Upgrade Affected Dispatch Centers

12. Project Management Teams

14. Design Overview • Phase 1 – Master Sites and Backbone Support • Add switching centers in Pocatello, Coeur d’Alene • Shift existing 700 MHz systems in Region 1 and 3 to new switches • Complete Dispatch Center Connectivity • Equip selected State Agencies with 700 MHz Subscriber Equipment • Project Management Team: • Develop migration plans for complete agencies/counties • Refine plans – lessons learned

15. Design Overview • Phase 2 – Regional Build-out • Project Management Team: • Develop governance and user agreements • Refine plans – lessons learned • Identify narrowband at-risk counties • Refine schedule • Implement Phase 2 counties and sites • Equip and cut over appropriate agencies, counties, state agencies

16. Design Overview • Phase 3 – Completion Phase • Project Management Team: • Develop governance and user agreements • Refine plans – lessons learned • Refine schedule • Implement remaining counties and sites • Equip and cut over appropriate agencies, counties, state agencies
