Description

Radio users around the world depend on P25 for their mission-critical communications. The P25 standard has been adopted by many industries such as utilities, airports, transit, petroleum, and chemical companies that rely on mission-critical communications and interoperability with public safety agencies in an emergency. This course discusses the P25 goals and system model and its components, features, functions, services, interfaces, infrastructure and configurations. It will also review the P25 channels and network control elements, the conventional and trunking systems, the coverage configurations such as simulcast, multicast, and voting as well as the consoles and subscriber units. The course will cover the evolution of land and digital mobile radio technologies in the final section.The instructor has published numerous scientific papers and 20 books, and has 6 U.S. patents licensed to industry. Cisco Systems adopted 18,000 printed copies of his first book to launch its first wireless product–the Aironet Wi-Fi product. His books were also reviewed extensively by the IEEE Communications Magazine (twice), the IEEE Network, and the ACM Networker. He was a technical editor for the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine for 10 years and has also guest edited for the IEEE Communications Magazine (2 issues) and the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas on Communications. His IEEE online tutorials were sponsored 8 times by industry. His research has appeared in the IEEE Spectrum and he received 2 IEEE best paper awards. He was invited by Qualcomm, Comcast, and Motorola to conduct wireless and video coding courses, and the National Science Foundation to participate in a workshop on Residential Broadband. He received the National Association of Broadcasters Technology Innovation Award for demonstrations of advanced new media technologies and the European Interactive TV grand challenge first prize. He has served as an IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecturer (with 10 invited lectures worldwide) as well as an expert witness.
