City Companies are in the process of having their regularly assigned portables reprogrammed so they can have access to the O'Hare Trunking System. They will use the city Radio ID programming structure. District 3 spare portable radios are in the process of being swapped out and city companies will then use their assigned portables when needed to contact the O'Hare Communications Center.

- - - District 3 (O'Hare & Midway Airports) have assigned spare portables which are issued to surrounding companies and replacements for inoperable radios. Radio ID's are the 139xxx series.****

City of Chicago OEMC Public Safety Radio System

Justification for an Extended Implementation Period (updated May 2021)

The Office of Emergency Management and Communications of the City of Chicago respectfully requests an extended implementation period of three (3) additional years for constructing and placing all the granted frequencies in callsigns WNDW413 in operation.The frequencies on bothcall signs WRCT668 and WRCT669 that have a Buildout First Use Date of 1/29/2019, we are requesting a final buildout date of 1/29/2024. This would bring us in line with our slow growth plan that was approved for callsigns WQZR532, WQZR533, WRCT668 and WRCT669. It would also allow for the delays caused in funding due to COVID-19.

The City of Chicago has been working to modernize our land mobile radio communications. Ourgoals are to improve efficient use of our existing channels, consolidate disparate systems, enhance security, and plan for T-Band migration. We are repurposing channels already licensed to the City of Chicago and to use those channels efficiently for our first responders and the greater good of the citizens of, and the visitors to, our city.

This project has been undertaken for three specific reasons: 1.) to bring together several disparate systems; 2.) to combat the amount of unauthorized transmissions on our current channels; and 3.)to provide a path for our transition from the T-Band due to periodic interference.

A significant benefit of this project is not only interoperability between all of the many critical users in the city, but also true operability.

An opportunity existed for the City of Chicago to repurpose 800MHz channels that have been used for our Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system because of advances in data communications, the use of private public partnerships, and the potential adoption of FirstNet. We are repurposing our existing data channels and combine them with our existing 800MHz trunked voice channels. Our goal has been to consolidate five different trunked systems in the city into one interoperable network.

We are in process of a multi-phased plan for slow growth over five years (two of which are complete), but with tangible benefits at the end of each phase. Our first step was to consolidate the existing trunked systems and channels. We also integrated Chicago Midway International Airport’s system. Midway previously used T-Band frequencies as their primary system and they have now transitioned over to 800MHz. We are integrating with the City of Chicago’s Department of Water Management (DWM) to provide enhanced coverage within their critical infrastructure.

Our first phase consisted of 13 simulcast sites (8 Tx/Rx and 5 Rx only) with 6 channels, an ASR at Midway, and two separate conventional in-building systems at the DWM filtration plants.

The second phase, that is currently in progress, is modernizing O’Hare International Airport’s public safety systems with 800 MHz. This phase also increased system coverage by adding 6 transmit sites to the simulcast system.

The third phase will add capacity to the simulcast subsystem accomplished through reallocating additional current data system frequencies that are already licensed at the sites. Later phases will incrementally add sites and capacity, as well as integrate the Chicago Fire Department, Chicago Police Department Patrol Operations, and Chicago’s public works systems to achieve fully unified city radio.
