Overview to Designing P25 Systems
Introduction
Objectives ...
Explain Project 25 and its system requirements. Explain the new technology and concepts required for P25 systems. At a high level, explain the following for P25 releases:
Physical architecture and topologies General system flow Network management Features
Compare P25 releases to non P25 compliant platform alternatives. Compare P25 releases to competitive P25 platforms. At a high level, explain the migration paths and strategies from existing SmartZone and OmniLink systems to ASTRO 4.1 systems.

Vendors
12 vendors have participated in the Project 25 process 6 offer or plan to offer CAI compatible subscriber units At least 2 vendors (other than Motorola) offer CAI compatible stations
Toward the future ...
Phase I is complete Phase II is in process
These are FUTURE issues
Today, most systems are still analog Most analog systems are still conventional Market challenge and focus of this class is move toward digital and trunked/shared

Project 25 vs. OpenSky loading and capacity
Key Points:
Simulcast best where there is a large area to cover with a small number of radio channels. Unequal load distribution causes problems with OpenSky, but is not an issue with simulcast. Group calls cause inefficiencies with OpenSky, but are not an issue with simulcast. Coverage is enhanced by the inherent 3 dB advantage that FDMA has over TDMA
