Information Gathering and Operational Objectives

The example response might be:
• To provide the organization with a distinct competitive advantage
• To catch up with competition in providing goods and services
• To respond to citizens demanding significantly faster response from
public safety organizations
• To be an industry innovator and early adopter of technology
• To provide wireless data service companies with the latest technology so
they can then provide it to their customers
For public safety, utilities, and commercial clients, there are similar
requirements. These requirements are described in the following sections
which cover the gathering and organizing of information for technical
requirements, software considerations, and issues that need to be addressed.
• Application software
• Two-way radio coverage
• System capacity
• Response time
2.4.1.1 Application Software
The Private DataTAC network is a data radio transport that needs customer
specific application software. Integrating software applications across the
Private DataTAC network and optimizing radio channel use can be
complicated. Addressing application software at both ends of the network is
covered in this section. On occasion, a third-party computer aided dispatch
(CAD) vendor is subcontracted.
The information gathering process can be guided by questions such as those
in the following subsections:
• Mobile applications software functionality
• Host/server software functionality
These two sections are not exhaustive or complete. Each question can have
follow-up questions to help clarify or refine information. Each example has
both similar and unique requirements.
