Internet remote base stations (ReadyOp)
Will completely change our LMR systemAllows a complete “re-think” of LMR infrastructurePossible elimination of half of our fixed repeaters over the next ten yearsInternet Remote BaseSlide4

Fantastic
advancement, however…Uncertain availability in disaster response missionsNot allowed in support of the new DoD missionTherefore, ReadyOp cannot replace HF CAP position will be to take full advantage of bothInternet Remote BaseSlide6
Planning considerations
Not everyone will have accessOnly key staff members1,000 users nation-wideWing will be allotted a certain number to manageInternet Remote BaseSlide7
Configuration control
NTC packaged for a specific locationSingle dedicated channelPassword protectedDashboard registeredNo microphoneDisabled speakerOperating in mixed mode – analog transmitInternet Remote BaseSlide8
Expanded LMR coverage at a fraction of the cost
$708 instead of $19,124 for a repeater95% cost reduction per stationEstimate 50% of repeaters replaced$5.2M in savingsInternet Remote BaseSlide9
Remote bases incorporated into new TA
Requires wings to submit an “LMR Infrastructure Plan”It’s time to “re-think” our LMR mission requirementsGuidance will be publishedRARS will be reset for this new round Will be modified to support both repeaters and remote basesAll existing repeaters will be marked “Legacy”New applications will be submitted IAW Wing Infrastructure PlanRegion and NRCG approvalJust like we did in ‘04-’05 Will take several years to completeWings will get ReadyOp when finishedImplementation PlanningSlide10
Fixed Repeater or Remote Base?
Remote base stations are the preferred solutionReplace fixed repeaters with remote base stations wherever possibleUse fixed repeaters only where there is a mission based need which a remote base cannot addressRepeater requests must be based on operational mission needs – not administrative useEvery fixed repeater will have a ReadyOp gateway assignedConsider use of airborne repeaters and mobile HF for support of ground teams instead of fixed repeatersRethinking LMRSlide11
ReadyOp Fixed Base Requirements
Broadband internet accessPriority restoral statusAutomatic emergency powerI.E., Generally NOT members’ homesReadyOp fixed bases will be single channel with no mic or speaker. It is a single purpose device and part of our LMR infrastructure.Hosting RequirementsSlide12
One will be assigned to each Mobile ICP (per TA)
As defined in the Comm TAWill have full national codeplugMultiple usesTransportable Remote BasesSlide13
