  1. Public Safety Related Applications Task Force April 15, 2014

  2. Overview • The transition to an All-IP network ties together a significant portion of ATIS’ work, both within the TOPS Council and in the Committees. • At its February meeting, the TOPS Council agreed to help steer developing technologies to meet business needs associated with this complex migration. • One area in particular requiring attention is the infrastructure associated with public safety. • The TOPS Council has formed the IP-Transition of Public Safety Related Applications Task Force (PSRA-TF) led by Mike Clancy (Comcast) and Mike Nawrocki (Verizon).

  3. Drivers for creation of Task Force New media alternatives Copper Migration More robust solutions IP Transition

  4. Process for Identifying Applications Application-specific issues (e.g. lack of commercial power, diversity) are critical to developing roadmaps and solutions! Circuit description doesn’t adequately define the specific application Application doesn’t fully define the migration path – without knowing the unique requirements

  5. Cross Industry Alignment • Legacy PSTN technologies / services are still in wide use as critical infrastructure by public safety and industrial customers; examples: • Alarm circuits to local fire and police departments  • FAA circuits to towers and alarms • Circuits that monitor railroad crossings • Circuits for sensors at gas and power company locations • Meter and alarming circuits related to power grid • Circuits supporting underground communications • Addressing these applications will be critical to the timely transition to All-IP.

  6. Key Contributors

  7. Deliverables – For Discussion • Task Force Report covering: • Assessment and prioritization of key applications • Issues impacting transition • Potential solutions and proposed guidelines • Recommended roadmap and timing • Data collection from relevant industry groups during the task force activity. • Survey and letter • Communication to FCC, State/Local Regulatory groups, and industry associations of proposed recommendations. • FCC TAC has identified this topic as an area of interest

  8. Next Steps • Gain consensus on the mission and scope. • Solicit input from operators (and manufacturers) on key public-safety related applications (and prioritize). • Identify the key Outreach partners that can contribute to this effort. • Determine other ATIS Committee and/or industry activities that can serve as input or guidance. • Begin to assess technology alternatives.
