Level Two Talkaround Case Study

The Level Two Talkaround also referred to as Directed Net provides interoperability in situations involving multiple radio users talking radio-to-radio through the same transmit while receiving radio frequency in the conventional form. Communications in this situation are firmly bound by the air boundary such that the same frequency is needed and the consequent transmissions are analog to analog or digital to digital but not digital to analog. Level Three is categorically referred to as Manual Aid. Channels under mutual aid provide first responder operability radios as well as interoperability between radios that fall within the same frequency band. For instance, agencies using VHF frequency are limited to talk exclusively to or on other VHF frequency systems. …show more content…
The fourth level is the Gateway or Console Patch which is a broad term for devices that are able to connect several frequencies bands or coverage region and hence …show more content…
Interoperability mandates that agencies work in recital in order to communicate past their respective agency as well as across their borders amid other jurisdictions. Individual agencies that work free from state cooperation develop governance, protocols and procure equipments that are often incompatible with other states. Informal concurrence with other jurisdictions, while the first positive step, should be incorporated into the formal plan that take into account verifiable agreements and protocols. Interoperability necessitates joint management, policies, control as well as protocols for it to be successful and must also be multijurisdictional and multidisciplinary (Henry,
