o 28-channel SmartZone 800MHz radio system operated
through a Motorola Solutions Hosted Master Site
D
• Estimated 10,427 primary radios public safety/3000-4000
non-public safety radios with Broward County system access
• Serves all public safety agencies in Broward County
• Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Plantation
operate their own systems
• 8 transmit/receive sites and 2 receive only sites
• Includes several ancillary systems: microwave system, fire
station alerting system, alphanumeric paging system
• Serves as primary back-up for all other systems in the County
in the event of major failures of those systems

SYSTEM WEAKNESSES
1111
F� L
O
o Limited system upgrade options
o Diminishing manufacturer support, end of life issues
o Radio frequency interference issues
o System user capacity limits
o Inconsistent maintenance of subscriber radios o Coverage gaps in areas of the County
o Coverage gap for in-building coverage in dense
structures
o Gap in back-up system capabilities

PROPOSED SOLUTION
F
L
O
R
I
D
o Project 25 (P25) digital trunked Simulcast radio system
o Provide for redundancy in the system
o Replace alphanumeric paging system
o Replace IP-based microwave system
o Replace components of the fire station alerting system
o Infrastructure increase to 15 receive/transmit sites, including
conversion of receive only sites to receive/transmit sites
• Additional towers in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano
Beach, North Lake, and a 5 channel multicast site along 175/Everglades area
o New console systems to replace each existing dispatch position o Repurpose frequencies prone to interference

D
A
11111
o OPTION I
o 44-channel, 700/800 MHz P25 Phase I, Trunked Simulcast System {42 talk
paths, 2 zones}
o OPTION II
o 19-channel, 700 MHz P25 Phase II, Trunked Simulcast System {36 talk paths,
1 zone, dynamic}
o The primary difference between Option II and Option I is that Option II
would provide two talk paths for every one frequency
o OPTION Ill
o 25 to 30-channel, 700/800 MHz P25 Hybrid (combination of Phase II and I)
Trunked Simulcast System {Range: 28 phase II talk paths, 10 phase I talk
paths to 36 phase II talk paths, 11 phase I talk paths, 1 zone, dynamic with 36
maximum talk paths at any point in time)

MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS
F
L
O
R
I
D
A
o All evaluated options would provide improved coverage
through addition of radio sites
o Recommendations:
o I ncrease/enhance the in-building coverage requirement for dense structures throughout the heavy built-u p a reas of the county o Replacement of Tamarac and Deerfield receive-only sites with full tra nsmit/receive location on new towers o Additional towers are recommended in the Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale,
Pom pano Beach and North Lake areas
o 5-Channel m ulticast site along I nterstate 75 to provide improved coverage in
the western half of the County over the Everglades
o Back-up capabilities to support communications in the event primary
system becomes impaired or overloaded
o Execute agreements with independent system operators to a llow access in
the event the County system becomes impaired or overloaded
