_________________________________________________
Item 5: CRIS Design Concept:

Consistent with State Administrative Manual (SAM) Section 4530, PSC has developed and implemented CRIS to accommodate multiple state agencies.
• With CRIS the State has the ability to:
• Leverage purchasing power as a single entity
• Maximize the use of infrastructure
• Reduce redundant and duplicative networks

Purpose:
• Statewide P25 Phase II (TDMA) trunked radio system providing interoperable voice communications for public safety agencies.
• Designed to enhance interoperability among state, local, and federal partners during day-to-day operations and major incidents.

System Overview:
• Dual-core architecture for reliability and continuity
• Primary Core – Sacramento
• Backup Core – Los Angeles
• RF sites across California connected via the state microwave network with redundant backhaul paths

I see a waste of money and a huge money making grab for Motorola and a way those agencies will use it to take away transparency from we the people I would terminate that system if I had the power to if I was in a government role and focus on upgrading VHF High band analog conventional it works much better especially in more mountainous terrain.
