ISPs current equipment will not support the new format as it is from 1970s. The new data line format is being required by the telephone carriers as they will not support the old T1 type data lines and are sunsetting them. ISP has to get the new circuits ordered and this new equipment installed prior to them shutting lines off. This equipment runs all of the ISPs VHF radio systems including the statewide emergency channel ISPERN and the statewide mutual aid channel IREACH. These channels are critical for officer safety and mutual aid all over the state. The JPS SNV-12 Signal-and-Noise Voter application is used in an analog radio system in which mobiles and portables can hear a repeater, but the repeater cant hear them, due to their lower transmit power and/or the antenna size or placement. Remote receivers can be positioned in the communications dead spots, with audio from each receiver linked to the voter via IP or T1 microwave, IP fiber, landline, twisted pair, RF link, or fiber optics. The voter will select the best quality signal from all unsquelched remote receivers and forward this signal to the repeater for rebroadcast or monitor by a dispatcher, thus providing greater talk back range for the radios. The JPS SNV-12 Signal-and-Noise Voter Comparator uses Digital Signal Processing to continuously monitor multiple remote VHF receiver sites and select the receiver with the best signal quality to send to the dispatch console. This allows ISP to monitor a large area with multiple towers for our emergency channels. The JPS SNV-12 votes the highest quality audio by analyzing the audio signals, regardless of backhaul method, T1 or IP. In order to do this, when IP backhaul is used instead of the conventional T1 type line, the QMT-1B remote is co-located with the radio at the receiver/transceiver site. The QMT-1B provides timing information, digitizes the audio, and sends it to the SVM-3 module channel it is associated with on the JPS SNV-12. The SNV-12 Signal-and-Noise Voter accesses and analyzes backhaul audio from receiver/transceiver sites that use traditional analog backhaul such as leased T1 lines, and also from receiver/transceiver sites that use IP backhaul methods such as a private network or IP microwave. The 64Kbps vocoder for IP backhaul ensures the delivery of clear, high-quality audio. Qty Unit Cost UOM Total Discount Amt.
