departmental users. This information can then be forwarded to the Jail Management package for integration and reduction of duplicate entry. The proposed replacements for the county are high speed 800 MHz transmitters and modems, where the throughput would increase to 48 kbps. This is around a 5 fold increase in throughput. And, when coupled with a decrease in the number of units on each transmitter, the overall results for the county will be around a 10 fold increase in data throughput. The City of Fargo, with the highest number of mobile units, will utilize 900 MHz transmitters and modems. This will require the deployment of additional transmitters due to the smaller footprint for each transmitter. The throughput will be from 600 kbps to over 1 Mbps, depending on the Mobile Data Computer's (MDC's) distance from the transmitter. This throughput increase coupled with the decrease in number of units on each transmitter, will increase the City of Fargo's throughput by 100 fold. Program Design and Implementation: The proposed grant is designed to correct the inadequate bandwidth and allow the utilization of other wireless communication advances by upgrading our current 800 MHz and installing new 900 MHz transmitters and corresponding modems in our mobile units through the following objectives: 1. Design, purchase and deploy a wireless connectivity solution to the bandwidth limitations in our mobile system. 2. Sufficient bandwidth will provide the most current, accurate, and complete information to officers in the field to make them as effective as possible. It will allow officers access to photographs of suspects, Amber Alert photos, and visual identification of undocumented individuals. 20f7
