Docusign Envelope ID:A05892FB-E22F-4F9D-8892-114F73CBF1B7 <br /> 19 <br /> SECTION 2 <br /> SYSTEM DESCRIPTION <br /> 2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION <br /> Motorola is proposing a communications solution for Orange County,North Carolina that will <br /> replace the current paging system equipment that is at End of Life. The proposed system consists of a <br /> two site, single channel analog simulcast VHF paging system. Orange County will consolidate Fire <br /> and EMS paging operation to use one frequency as opposed to the current operational plan that uses <br /> separate discreet frequencies to alert Fire and EMS pagers. The replacement system will utilize the <br /> Motorola GRV series comparators and GTR8000 RF station based VHF Ethernet Link analog <br /> simulcast paging system platform. Motorola has developed a comprehensive system design plan <br /> based on Orange County's needs. The plan accounts for how RF Sites, Consoles and Core <br /> Infrastructure will be integrated into the new Ethernet Link simulcast paging system. The Motorola <br /> equipment proposed is compliant with FCC narrow band requirements for equipment utilizing VHF <br /> frequencies. <br /> The current system design provided in this proposal is considered to be phase one of what will <br /> ultimately become a county wide simulcast cell. The county wide system will require additional sites <br /> to complete the desired level of RF coverage throughout Orange County.No coverage guarantees or <br /> coverage testing acceptance test plans(CATP) are provided in this proposal <br /> Motorola understands that Orange County desires that the State of NC VIPER Microwave Radio <br /> Network be utilized for system Ethernet IP connectivity. At this time it has not been confirmed <br /> that the Viper Microwave Network is capable of supporting the connectivity required by the <br /> proposed system.No Microwave Radio equipment or alternate means of transport is provided <br /> with this proposal. Should Viper be unable to support Orange County's request for transport <br /> services, Orange County shall be required to obtain an alternate means for Ethernet IP <br /> connectivity between all sites. <br /> Motorola's proposed two site simulcast solution will provide dispatch services to Minitor V two-tone <br /> pagers utilized in Orange County. Sites anticipated for use are: <br /> • Orange Primary Dispatch facility <br /> • Paging VHF RF sites are listed below <br /> — ENO MOUNTAIN REM#001 <br /> — CHATHAM MOUNTAIN REM#002 <br /> System performance for phase one is based upon use of the proposed equipment and proposed site <br /> design. The system design and coverage performance also require that all proposed sites,antenna <br /> system designs,antenna heights,ERP values and frequencies are licensable at all sites. Should this <br /> not be the case the system design will require revision and additional costs may be incurred by <br /> Orange County. Motorola understands that Orange County desires that the State of NC VIPER <br /> Microwave Radio Network be utilized for system connectivity. A structural analysis study will be <br /> performed on the existing <br /> Orange County,North Carolina July 19,2024 <br /> VHF Paging System Upgrades Use or disclosure of this proposal is subject <br /> to the restrictions on the cover page. <br /> © Motorola Solutions Confidential Restricted System Description 2-1 <br />
