The Governing Board of the Illinois Radio Emergency Assistance CHannel (IREACH) is pleased to present this information to assist public safety agencies in Illinois on the proper use and licensing requirements for IREACH. Our Purpose IREACH was originally conceived and proposed within the confines of the Illinois Chapter of the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO). Conceptually, the channel was to be used as a support mechanism for 9-1-1 systems so that public safety answering points would have multi-jurisdictional and multi-discipline communications for emergency situations. The Illinois APCO chapter worked diligently to persuade the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to set aside the frequency 155.055 MHz for the purpose that was to be designated as the Illinois Radio Emergency Assistance CHannel (IREACH). In 1982, an independent Governing Board was established with the leadership of APCO to act as an advisory organization for licensing, operational policy and enforcement of issues as they pertain to the IREACH frequency. The Governing Board was carefully selected to be both inter-jurisdictional and inter-disciplinary in order that all potential users would be represented in the Governing Board process. The IREACH Governing Board has worked hard to establish policies that pertain to the state-wide IREACH network. Since there are a large number of potential users, the Governing Board recognized that a strict policy regarding both licensing of base stations and the proper operation of the network would be essential to its success. Accordingly, the IREACH Governing Board, with the support of APCO, asks that each user carefully read and understand the information in the Users Manual. The success of this program, as well as the quality of the system, depends upon informed licensees and users. But perhaps more importantly, the safety of the individual users and the citizens of Illinois has a definable relationship to the quality of the IREACH program. Thank you for visiting our web site. We urge you to inform other members of the public safety community of this sites existence and encourage each and every member to visit this site and become more familiar with IREACH and it's proper operation. The IREACH Governing Board holds several open meetings each year. Everyone is invited to attend our meetings and provide input on IREACH. If you would like to be notified of our regular meetings, please contact the IREACH Secretary in writing at the address below.

Board The Governing Board of the Illinois Radio Emergency Assistance Channel FCC Federal Communications Commission IREACH Illinois Radio Emergency Assistance Channel (155.055 MHz) ISPERN Illinois State Police Emergency Radio Network (155.475 MHz) Public Safety Agency An officially organized law enforcement, emergency medical, fire protection, forestry, conservation, highway maintenance, public works, EMS, EMA/ESDA and disaster response unit of state or local government or a legally constituted private entity so engaged. INTRODUCTION Back To The Top The IREACH Channel (155.055 MHz) has been set aside by the Federal Communications Commission for the use of Illinois Public Safety Agencies as a means of communications between public safety agencies when no other direct means of communications are available. Although IREACH is principally a mobile-to-mobile channel, a base station license may be granted to any public safety agency that meets the requirements specified under the paragraph entitled: "Base Station Licensing Guidelines Statement." PURPOSE OF IREACH Back To The Top The purpose of IREACH is to allow any public safety employee to talk to any other public safety employee via radio provided the radio traffic relates to their official duties and the protection of life and/or property. For example, to permit a fire fighter to have direct radio contact with an emergency medical technician in an ambulance or to enable a police officer to talk to an EMA/ESDA official at a disaster site. A synopsis of commonly asked questions follows: Back To The Top Authorized users? Public Safety Agencies Type Traffic Allowed? Official Public Safety duties related to protection of life and/or property, testing; itinerant Base Stations Authorized? Public Safety agencies meeting licensing guidelines Base station requirements? Dispatch multi-discipline (two or more authorized disciplines) Primarily mobile to mobile? Yes Flash messages? (Base Station Dispatches) Must be of interest to two or more disciplines Common Channel? Yes, statewide (F-3 position recommended) FCC license? Yes, each individual agency must apply for and maintain its own base or mobile license. Governing Board? Yes How are applications screened? As base station, by Governing Board, and as mobile, by the APCO Co-Primary Frequency Advisors. IREACH was established as a coordinating channel to enhance public safety effectiveness through better interagency communication. OPERATING GUIDELINES Back To The Top The definition of acceptable IREACH traffic is deliberately broad. IREACH may be used to coordinate official public safety activities involving two or more public safety agencies. Official activities are defined as those serving to provide for the protection of life and/or property. Licensed base stations will be allowed to operate on IREACH to foster coordination and communications between public safety units. A base station may initiate a dispatch if it is of significant interest to two or more disciplines. Messages that qualify for ISPERN should be forwarded to the appropriate ISPERN control point for broadcast. If the message also has significant value to another discipline, such as Fire, EMS, EMA/ESDA, Highway Maintenance, or Conservation/Forestry, it can be broadcast on IREACH. The base station call sign shall be broadcast at the end of each series of transmissions as an indication that the agency has concluded its use of the channel momentarily and is ready to accept traffic. Automatic station identifiers are specifically prohibited. IREACH shall not be used by a single agency for field operations or as an intra-agency car-to-car channel. Paging and other forms of selective signalling will not be allowed on IREACH. LICENSING Back To The Top Each agency desiring to utilize IREACH must apply for a mobile and/or base station license. Before the FCC will act on a license application, the request must be coordinated by one of the two Association of Public Safety Communications Officials, Inc. (APCO) Co-Primary Frequency Advisors assigned for Illinois. Frequency coordination is the act of evaluating an application for a frequency to determine if interference may be caused to an entity already utilizing that channel. The address and telephone, facsimile and voice, for the Illinois APCO Co-Primary Frequency Advisors are included in Appendix 1 following this manual. They can be contacted for the correct coordination forms. Mobile Licensing Once the application has been completed and delivered via facsimile or mailed to the appropriate Co-Primary Frequency Advisor, as contained in Appendix 1, the Frequency Advisor will review the documentation and render a decision based on applicant eligibility and notify the requesting agency of the decision. If approved, the coordination form must then be submitted with appropriate forms and fees to APCO (International) for licensing. Mobile Licensing Guideline Statement Mobile licenses will be granted to any applicant defined as a local government or eligible public safety agency and meeting the basic radio service criteria established by the Federal Communications Commission and the APCO Frequency Advisor. No paging or selective signaling devices shall be allowed on this frequency. The IREACH frequency, 155.055 MHz, installed in multi-channel radios shall be assigned, whenever possible, to the F3 position. Base Station Licenses Base station requests must be prepared on appropriate FCC and APCO coordinating forms and copies delivered (without fees)to the appropriate APCO Co-Primary Frequency Advisor as contained in Appendix 1. The Frequency Advisor will forward the request with pertinent co-channel research data to the IREACH Governing Board for their consideration. Filing restrictions placed by the FCC demand, at a minimum, two filing windows for IREACH licensing. Filing windows are established as January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st. The Board will meet no more than 45 days after each filing deadline to consider the applications. The Board reserves the right to request certain additional documentation from the applicant before making their final decision. The IREACH Governing Board has developed the licensing statements to guide them in their deliberations: Base Station Licensing Guidelines Statement Base station licenses will be granted to any public safety agency that, through common agreement, provides (or is establishing an agency to provide) a multi-discipline emergency dispatch service on a 24-hour basis utilizing the frequency 155.055 MHz. Discipline, for the purposes of this guideline, is defined as public safety agencies as defined on page two. Applications must be accompanied by proper documentation. The permitted effective radiated power, ERP, and antenna height shall be no more than necessary, based on an engineering study conducted using the APCO provided Topographic Analysis Program, to cover the jurisdiction area. No paging or selective signaling devices shall be allowed on this frequency. The IREACH frequency, 155.055 MHz, installed in multi-channel radios shall be assigned, wherever possible, to the F3 position. Condition of Authorization 1. Base station licenses are recommended without regard to compensation for services rendered and licensees shall provide emergency services, without prejudice, to other authorized users. 2. The IREACH Governing board retains the right to either waive certain requirements or impose more stringent requirements when it is in the best interest of public safety and the citizens of the geographical area to do so. Further, the IREACH Governing Board retains the right to require, at license renewal time, a review of an authorization to ensure that the best service is being provided for public safety. Special Provisions for Northeast Illinois Recognizing that the six-county Chicago metropolitan area, encompassing Cook, Lake, DuPage, McHenry, Will, and Kane counties, presents special conditions in relation to the assignment of base station licenses on the IREACH channel, the IREACH Governing Board approved the following policy statement on March 7, 1984. Base station licenses on the IREACH frequency, 155.055 MHz, may be approved for groups of two or more political sub-divisions in the six county Chicago metropolitan area, one of which has agreed to provide base station services on the IREACH frequency free of any charge. A political sub-division, for the purposes of this policy, has the same definition as provided in Chapter 127, Section 1104 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (County, City, Village or Incorporated Town). The IREACH Governing Board reserves the right to establish "communications areas" for the purpose of IREACH use only, based on the geographical location of group members. The base station transmitter output, antenna height, and ERP shall be limited, based on an engineering study conducted using the APCO provided Topographic Analysis Program, to that necessary to serve the "communication area". The IREACH Governing Board reserves the right to suggest membership in an established group and to deny base station application based on the fact that the applicant is within an established "communication area". ARBITRATION AND ENFORCEMENT GUIDELINES Back To The Top The IREACH Governing Board was constituted to establish guidelines for the IREACH frequency, 155.055 MHz, and will also serve as the arbitration and enforcement arm for that frequency. In such capacity, the Governing Board will oversee the frequency use and ensure adherence to the operational guideline by all users. The following procedures have been adopted by the Governing Board. 1. Complaints regarding the misuse of the IREACH frequency should be forwarded with the pertinent documentation to the IREACH Governing Board c/o the appropriate Illinois APCO Co-Primary Frequency Advisor. Address and telephone information is contained in Appendix 1. 2. Complaints, with all pertinent license information and documentation provided by the Co-Primary Frequency Advisor, will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Governing Board for review. 3. Investigation of the situation will be conducted by the IREACH Governing Board member representing the appropriate discipline or by an alternate appointed by the Governing Board Chairman. 4. Subsequent to investigation of the complaint and a report being submitted, the Governing Board will solicit response from all concerned parties and will review all facts, hear all arguments and reach a majority ruling. The Board will then inform interested parties of its ruling. 5. If indicated, the Board will serve written first notice to the party or parties involved in the infraction requesting corrective action and a response as to their positive intent or notice of what action was taken to correct the misuse. 6. Hearing no further complaint, the case would be closed. 7. A repeat complaint of the same misuse will constitute issuance of a second notice, which will warn the party or parties involved that if misuse continues, the IREACH Governing Board will forward to the Federal Communications Commission a request that this offender's license be revoked. 8. If misuse continues after a second notice, the IREACH Governing Board will issue a third notice, which will include a recommendation to the FCC to revoke the IREACH license. Termination of Participation 1. Any license holder desiring to terminate IREACH participation should notify the Governing Board. 2. Any negligent, willful or continued misuse of the IREACH frequency will be subject to the arbitration and enforcement procedure after which the Board may recommend that the FCC revoke the operating authority of the violating agency. IREACH GOVERNING BOARD Back To The Top The Governing Board was created to develop guidelines, policies and procedures to regulate the use of IREACH and to serve the APCO Frequency Advisors and the Federal Communications Commission in an advisory capacity. The Governing Board is composed of 20 voting members representing all public safety disciplines. The Board meets quarterly, or as directed by the chairman.

Revised: August 14, 1996 Historically, Illinois has been one of the top five states in numbers of Public Safety FCC licenses held and number of radios purchased and operated. In June 1994, the International office of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials approved the plan submitted by the Illinois Primary Frequency Advisor to divide the state for coordination activities into two regions. The regions are geographically defined by Interstate I-80. Those counties that contain I-80 and those counties north of I-80 were assigned to the Northern Region. The Northern Region covers the following 22 counties: Boone, Bureau, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Henry, JoDaviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, La Salle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Putnam, Rock Island, Stephenson, Whiteside, Will, and Winnebago. The remaining 80 counties make up the Southern Region.
