Scope
This document is intended to clarify the IP network and backbone requirements for the end-to-end transport of
voice, control and other radio data services across the Nicaragua National Police radio network.
This is done to ensure that the contractor (Syscom Nicaragua), the equipment supplier (Tait Radio
Communications) have the same understanding and have reached agreement on the backbone and IP network
specifications requirements for the National Police of Nicaragua’s radio system upgrade and expansion project.
The signature of the responsible parties indicates understanding and acceptance of the proposed IP networking
equipment. Likewise, the signature of the supplier indicates understanding and acceptance to provide the IP
network equipment as proposed in this document.
Any changes required after the signature of this document will require a revision and changes can affect price

1. INTRODUCTION
Tait will supply design and deploy services to Syscom Nicaragua in support to the National Police’s MPT radio
system upgrade and expansion project.
Based on the agreement between Syscom and the National Police, a Service Provider (Claro Networks) will
supply the required IP bandwidth and IP connectivity between the radios sites and the central node location.
The intention of this document is to provide SYSCOM NICARAGUA with the detailed requirements for the IP
links that will be supplied by service provider CLARO. CLARO will provision these IP links and will make the
links available at the time of system installation. CLARO will also perform all relevant testing and corrective
actions to ensure the link performance meets the requirement highlighted in this document.
The linking requirements for the TaitNet MPT-IP systems can be found in the following Tait documents:
• TaitNet MPT-IP Radio Network, System Manual (MNA-00026-09), section 2.9, Network Linking Design.
• Tait Technical Note TN-2167a - network Linking Design, dated 23 November 2015 (TN-2167a Network
Linking Design.pdf) that further explores IP network requirements beyond simple bandwidth requirements.
Note that the recommended minimum bandwidth per site for the MPT-IP Technology is the same for all the
radio sites (600kbps) at the channel counts determined for this project. An additional 100 kbps for other
monitoring and management traffic takes the total bandwidth requirement to 700kbps.
This is driven primarily by jitter considerations based on the difference in packet size between the packets
associated with radio traffic (C, U & M traffic is generally small packet based) and the large packets usually
associated with enterprise networks. Jitter performance is only guaranteed by correct application of the Tait
specified QoS configuration within the IP network supporting the radio system. More details and Tait QoS
recommendations can be read in the following sections. It is also important to note that, the required bandwidth
of 700kbps has to be provisioned from each of the individual site locations (MPT-IP Radio Sites) to each of the
Node controller locations within the system concurrently.

2. RADIO SYSTEM OVERVIEW
2.1 Background
The Nicaragua National Police currently operates a TaitNet T1541 (“MPT Classic”) MPT1327 trunked radio
network with 3 radio sites and a single node. This project consists of an upgrade from MPT Classic to a new
TaitNet MPT-IP system configuration. It furthermore includes the expansion of radio sites to a total count of 21.
The new TaitNet MPT-IP system provides a significant step towards IP-connected digital operations. This digital
infrastructure is based on a stable and proven communications technology requiring digital linking and IP
connectivity.
The following high-level diagram presents the new MPT-IP system and equipment that requires IP connectivity
between sites and central location.

All system elements within an MPT-IP system are interconnected via an IP backhaul network. The IP
Network Service Provider will need to ensure that all the individual sites have layer 3 connectivity from each
site location to each of the node locations at the same time, making it less prone to single points of failure,
and for load sharing purposes.
Nicaragua National Police MPT System Upgrade and Expansion System Requirements Specification Version 1.1 Page 9 of 27
3. IP LINKING REQUIREMENTS
This section describes the IP linking requirements for the end-to-end transport of voice, control and other radio
data services across the Nicaragua Police network. The backhaul network must meet or exceed performance
specifications in order to guarantee correct operation of the radio system also to ensure that there are no impacts
on voice delay and call setup times.
The radio network shall make use of private IP network addresses as defined by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) in RFC 1918.

The network specifications are defined in the following table.
Minimum bandwidth to carry C+U traffic 100 kb/s per channel for MPT-IP operation
Minimum bandwidth to carry M traffic 128 kb/s per site (1M recommended)
Note: If the jitter requirements above cannot be met then the value of “Network Interfaces > Network >
Connection > Data Delay” in the TB9300 Base Stations should be adjusted accordingly.

Strict priority-queuing QoS is required. Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) such as 8421-type round-robin
priority queuing will typically breach the jitter requirement unless significant additional bandwidth is available.
Marking must be left intact by network switches and routers. In “Cisco speak” this means that a line such as
“mls qos trust dscp” must be present in the configuration of every router through which RF network traffic is
carried.
QoS will need to be applied to network equipment from IP Linking Service Provider.
