  • Emergency Communications Operability, Interoperability and Sustainability  By : Robert Thomson
    Emergency Response
    agencies with undersize budgets have enough trouble addressing communications operability let alone interoperability. Although agencies have their main frequency on a repeater, secondary channels may be still depend on the ionosphere to get distance. It is important for government administrators to realize that emergency responders regardless of size and location must have appropriate wireless communications. When the decision is made to address operability, it is equally important to address interoperability. One cost effective method is to enter into an accord with adjoining jurisdictions to utilize the same frequencies for secondary communications; the cost of licensing, securing a repeater, and providing emergency power could be split between municipalities. This method addresses operability (bringing you up to speed) and interoperability (the ability to share frequencies). Another avenue to consider is pursuing the grant processes but this may have to be done individually by each municipality.
    Gordon Vincent Associates LLC President Gordon A. Moccio is a major proponent of the “System Life-cycle Planning Model” currently being prepared by Federal Office of Emergency
    Communications and believes it could standardize the process of attaining both Operability and Interoperability. “It’s one thing to have a how to do template but quite another issue to get government officials and police administrators on board with the process” Moccio believes departments having their budgets cut to the bone is a major stumbling block.
    Moccio aids agencies and municipalities in drafting plans for consolidation and internal controls practices that essentially create an audit trail so departments can track exactly where their money is going. This can provide huge fiscal benefits to municipalities.
