Oregon SIEC PowerPoint presentation
Oregon SIEC -- Working to Improve Public Safety Communications Interoperability
This presentation covers general questions about what radio interoperability is and why it is important to Oregon public safety first responders and Oregonians. As well, it describes how the Oregon SIEC is organized and its goals and priorities for improving interoperability.
Donald Pfohl, Chair of the SIEC Technical Committee, presentation
Levels and Benefits of Interoperability Solutions from Simple to Complex
This presentation covers issues about the benefits and ways interoperability is achieved, from simply swapping radios to deploying a standards based, shared system infrastructure to achieve high levels of data and voice interoperability. As well, the last three slides of the presentation identify nationwide VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz interoperability channels designated by the Federal Communications Commission.
Beverlee Stilwell, Director, Oregon Department of Homeland Security, presentation Funding Opportunities for State and Local Jurisdictions in Support of Interoperable Communications
This presentation covers the activities of the Oregon Department of Homeland Security as it related to issues of radio interoperability, and it outlines federal and state priorities for distribution of federal assistance. It includes specific information for contacting state officials who oversee the process of distribution of federal assistance. It is a must see for all public safety managers who are planning to make application to the state for homeland security assistance.
