Negotiation of the Mobile and Portable Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement (M&P FRA) took 12 months.
23 Mediation Conference Calls were held with Nextel and the Transition Administrator.
We still need to negotiate the Fixed Network Equipment Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement.
The M&P FRA covers 45, 518 radios.
When the M&P Transition Plan was submitted to Nextel there were ~41,000 radios operating on the networks.
There are currently 50,207 radios operating on the networks. A Change Notice will be submitted to cover these radios.
Nextel will pay a combined total of $4.4M to the agencies using the IPSC Network.
The total cost to Nextel for the M&P FRA is $27M.
Nextel is replacing 1892 radios.
The total cost to the State of Indiana for the M&P FRA is zero.
The State of Indiana holds 194 800Mhz licenses. Of those licenses, 179 are for the IPSC trunked system. 15 are for the Department of Correction.
There are 1151 frequencies contained in the 194 licenses. 914 of those frequencies need to be rebanded.
All of the current 130+ trunked sites on the IPSC system, except Monticello, use frequencies that must be rebanded.
