Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are developed by the European Committee for Electro Technical

Standardization.

International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing characteristics of electrical equipment. The classification system defines the level of protection provided by enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects and moisture into the electrical equipment.

The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal. An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP57) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an enclosure or housing. Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.

2-4 Project 25

What is Project 25?

Project 25 (P25) is a standard for the manufacturing of interoperable digital

2-way wireless communications products. Developed in North America under state, local and federal representatives and Telecommunications Industry

Association (TIA) governance, P25 is gaining worldwide acceptance for public safety, security, public service, and commercial applications.

Personal Private Radio Standards Committee TR-8). Radio equipment that demonstrates compliance with P25 is able to meet a set of minimum requirements to fit the needs of public safety. These include the ability to interoperate with other P25 equipment, so that users on different systems can talk via direct radio contact. The P25 standard was created by and for public safety professionals.

What Are the Benefits of P25?

From the beginning, P25 has targeted four primary bj ti

•

Allow effective, efficient, and reliable intra-agency and inter-agency communications

… so organizations can easily implement interoperable and seamless joint communication in both routine and emergency circumstances.

•

Ensure competition in system life cycle procurements

… so agencies can choose from multiple vendors and products, ultimately saving money and gaining the freedom to select from the widest range of equipment and features.

•

Provide user-friendly equipment

• lifesaving capabilities on the job – even under adverse conditions – with minimal training.

Improve radio spectrum efficiency

… so networks will have enough capacity to handle calls and allow room for growth, even in areas where the spectrum is crowded and it’s difficult for frequencies.

What is the Status of P25 Today?

P25 systems are available today and being deployed globally. Many organizations have mandated that new land mobile radio system purchases follow P25 standards. P25 is ongoing -- the standard continues to evolve as the needs of users and the capabilities of

t h l g d B th d manufacturers have an important role to play in shaping P25.

What is Required for P25 Compliance?

At a minimum, a P25 radio system must provide components:

P25 has also defined standard modes of operation to enable multi-vendor interoperability for additional system functions: trunking, encryption, and over-theair rekeying, to name a few.

A set of defined system interfaces allow the P25 system elements to communicate with host computers, data terminals and the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

Looking to the Future

There are two phases of P25 development:

•

Phase 1 is completed.

•

• bilit ith th

The Common Air Interface (CAI) specifies how information is coded, transmitted and received over the air.

It enables users to interoperate and communicate digitally across networks, agencies, and vendors.

•

Key Fail Indication

The transceiver indicates “Key Fail” for the specified time period* when the Common Key

Reference (CKR) of the selected channel is not stored in the encryption unit. (Simple and 10-key models only)

When this function is enabled, the transceiver releases the mute after receiving the audio signals for decryption, even if the CKR setting is not matched to the selected channel.


■

OTAR function

P25 Over-The-Air-Rekeying (OTAR) function allows the Key Management Facility (KMF) to change the encryption keys in a transceiver remotely, (“over the air”) to protect the secure communications. Moreover, several OTAR commands are used to perform the following operations. See also 4-7 OTAR for this function.

From KMF to transceiver:

• Change Active Keyset

• Change Group RSI

• Radio Check

➣

The transceiver automatically responds to any command.

• Registration to the OTAR system

• Deregistration from the OTAR system

• Rekeying


➣

When the channel in which the OTAR function is enabled is selected, the transceiver automatically attempts registration to the

OTAR system by transmitting a Key

Management Message (KMM) to KMF. Various other commands are exchanged between KMF and a transceiver, other than above.


Registration to the OTAR system

➥

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down], or rotate [CH Up/Down], to select the channel in which the OTAR function is enabled.

After selecting the channel, the transceiver automatically attempts registration to the

OTAR system by transmitting a KMM

▒ NOTE: There are 2 types of KMM— Standard

▒ and Packet. If the pre-programmed KMM type

▒ is not matched to the system which the

▒ transceiver attempts to register with, the

▒ registration attempt may fail. In that case,

▒ to another type.

Deregistration from the OTAR system

➥


[CH Up/Down], to exit the channel in which the

OTAR function is enabled. After exiting the channel, the transceiver automatically attempts transmitting a KMM ‘Deregistration’ command to KMF.

Rekey request function

Normally, the encryption keys are managed and securely changed by KMF over the air without receiving a Rekey request. If needed, the transceiver can send a Rekey request to the KMF to perform the rekey operation.

1

Push and hold [Rekey] for 1 sec to send a KMM

‘Hello’ command to KMF for a Rekey request.

• “REQUEST REKE” appears.

2

After receiving a Rekey request from the transceiver, KMF performs the rekey operation.

3

When the rekey operation is successful,

“REQUEST REKE” disappears.

• If the rekey operation fails, “FAILED” appears.

This function allows you to select the Active Keyset that is stored in the transceiver. The keyset structures a group of keys. By changing the keyset, the group of keys will be automatically switched to another group.

AES/DES DES

The AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the Federal

Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the United States in 2002. AES is based upon the Rijndael algorithm. AES offers 256-bit encryption.

The DES (Data Encryption Standard) is a cipher selected as an official Federal Information Processing

Lucifer cipher. DES utilizes a 56-bit key. This key size is vulnerable to a brute force attack using current technology. In recent years, the cipher has been superseded by the AES.

4-7 OTAR

78

OTAR or Over-The-Air-Rekeying is the common name for the method of changing the encryption keys over a radio channel or “over the air”. It is also referred to as Over-the-Air Transfer (OTAT).

Regular key changing is one of the basic requirements for secure radio communication. Key changing can be achieved by reprogramming of scramblers with a wired programmer or over the air.

Presently radio communication systems, secured by scramblers, prefer to use the OTAR method of key changing due to the following benefits.

■

Benefits from using OTAR

Brisk and efficient – these are the words to describe the benefits from using OTAR.

z

The operator can change over the keys of many radios at the same time regardless of the distance.

z The keys which are consisted of big numbers can be easily changed or updated without manual programming.

z The use of OTAR drastically reduces the distribution of physical keying material and the physical process of loading crypto equipments with k h f i A i h nothing to do with actual physical CRYPTO changeovers on a day-to-day basis.

Without OTAR, the operator has to collect all radios and reprogram them to change the keys. Or a technician must go around and visit all the radio sites with a PC and a programmer just to change keys – it is time-consuming.

In addition, without OTAR, it is very difficult or even impossible to re-program the scramblers with a wired programmer due to their big number and distances of one from another.

OTAR solves all these problems - you can do without reprogramming all the radios and visiting the radio y y p y change them over completely regardless of the distance and big numbers.

To make the most of these benefits, leading manufacturers of scramblers began to design various methods of key changing over the air.

Many of the newer NSA (National Security Agency ) such as the ANDVT, KY-58, KG-84 A/C, and KY-75 are capable of obtaining new or updated key by

OTAR. All an operator would have to do is to observe the alarm indications and ensure the alarm indicator returns to operate. The electronic key would normally come from the Net Control Station (NCS). function. (OTAR function became available from the firmware Rev.1.40 on.)

The dispatcher enters the new key.

4-8 APCO P25 DVSI AMBE+2™ Vocoder

IC-F9510 series has DVSI AMBE +2™ New

Vocoder Ready

Digital Voice Systems, Inc. specializes in low rate, high-quality voice compression products for use in digital communications and storage applications.

Their products include vocoders, error correction schemes, test sets, and other offerings. DVSI is a coding solutions to equipment manufacturers and

OEMs throughout the world.

DVSI has introduced a new low data rate AMBE+2™

Vocoder that sets a new standard for high-quality, high-performance speech quality at data rates from

2.0 to 9.6 kbps.

The new vocoder technology has been shown to outperform DVSI’s previously industry-leading

AMBE+ ™ Vocoder, that outperformed G.729 and

G.726 vocoders while operating at only 4.0 kbps, and

DVSI’s baseline AMBE ™ vocoder technolgy.

It is designed to be particularly robust and perform exceptionally well even under bit errors and acoustic background noise conditions.

Recent independent evaluations have proved that the model-based, Multi-Band Excitation algorithm provides distinct advantages over traditional CELPbased vocoders. Operating at data rates from 2.0 to

9.6 kbps, the new AMBE+2™ algorithm has achieved vocoder technology tested.

The superior performance characteristics of the new

AMBE+2™ Vocoder make it ideally suited for mobile radio, secure voice, satellite communications, computer telephony, and other digital voice and storage applications where bandwidth is at a imperative.

The new AMBE+2™ Vocoder clearly illustrates why

DVSI has been selected for many prominent global mobile satellite systems including: Inmarsat M and

Mini-M, Iridium, ICO-Global, Thuraya, ACeS, and many others. DVSI was also chosen as the vocoder standard for the North American, APCO Project 25 public safety mobile radio system.

In multimedia using codecs to compress the bandwidth requirement (for example, of a digitized voice connection from the standard 64 kilobit/sec

PCM Modulation), the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) provides a numerical indication of the perceived quality of received media after compression and/or transmission. The MOS is expressed as a single perceived audio quality, and 5 is the highest perceived audio quality measurement. Here is the

AMBE+2™ MOS test result.

The vocoder speed specified by P25 specification slowed down from 7200 bps to 3200 bps but DVSI introduced a new enhanced vocoder of AMBE+2™ and see the graph above. Even in 3600 bps, the AMBE+2™ is better than the P25 standard vocoder.

How Are MOS Tests Conducted?

MOS tests for voice are specified by ITU-T recommendation P.800. The MOS is generated by averaging the results of a set of standard, subjective audio quality of test sentences read aloud by both male and female speakers over the communications medium being tested. A listener is required to give each sentence a rating using the following rating scheme:

MOS Quality Impairment

5 E cellent Imperceptible

4 Good Perceptible but not annoying

3 Fair

2 Poor

1 Bad

Slightly annoying

Annoying

Very annoying
