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.

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.

3.1 Network Performance


The linking network shall provide a full duplex, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port for each IP equipped device in the
radio network.
Tait recommends that the IP Network Provider implement the backhaul and IP network within the specifications
which is a latency of 10ms, but not more than 40ms, for the best performance between the base station and the
node controller. Refer to Page 4 of TN2167a document for further details.
The maximum jitter that can be accommodated by Tait equipment is 20 ms between the base station at radio
sites and the node controller. The backhaul network is required to meet this specification. Jitter data needs to be
provided to Tait at time of commissioning to ensure that the above requirement is met.

Page 10 of 27 Nicaragua National Police MPT System Upgrade and Expansion  System Requirements Specification  Version 1.1
The network specifications are defined in the following table.

Parameter Value (ms)

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)

Out of order C and U traffic packets Less than 0.01%

Packet Loss Less than 0.01%

Latency (max) 100 ms

Latency (recommended) Less than 40 ms

Jitter (max) Less than 20 ms


Table 1: Latency and Jitter Requirements

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.

3.2 Site Bandwidth Requirements


The following bandwidth requirements are approximate. Values are synchronous minimums assuming a star
network topology:
They have been calculated based on the number of devices at each site and their individual bandwidth values.
Backhaul links for the National Police MPT System must meet the minimum specified bandwidth including a
minimum 20% contingency factor. Also a bandwidth allowance of 1 Mbps is recommended for site maintenance
which facilitates remote configuration, firmware upgrades and real time monitoring.

‘* all the above figures includes 1Mbps for site maintenance/remote monitoring and factors a 20% contingency overall.

Table 2: Link Bandwidth Requirements

3.3 Network Time Protocol (NTP)


The Network Time Protocol (NTP) will be used to keep node and monitor server clocks accurate. IP Service
Provider will need to supply IP address of NTP servers for time synchronization purposes. The NTP server is
configured on all TB9300 Base Stations, the MPT-IP Node and Tait Network Gateways.
The NTP server should be available for the MPT-IP network.

3.4 Quality of Service (QOS)


The backhaul network should use Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) to ensure that traffic over streams
are given the highest QOS priority on the network. The suggested DSCP assignments for the different packet
types are listed in the table below.

Table 3: Quality of Service

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.

3.5 IP Protocols and Ports


The network uses a variety of IP based protocols between its elements. In some situations firewalls must be
configured to allow this traffic to pass across the IP bearer network. The table below lists the ports and usage,
strike out font has been used where there is no plan to use the protocol in the pilot system :

3.6 Multicast
Multicast will need to be enabled on switches at all RF sites to support multi-repeater fallback modes. Multicast
will not be enabled on the primary router interfaces and will not cross the local switching domain onto the
National Police Network.

The Multicast address assignment for each of the site locations is given in Section 4. Site Equipment IP
Addressing

3.7 Backhaul Validation Approach


Due to the complexity of IP networks, it is impossible to perfectly predict performance during the design stage,
and for that reason they must be tested (and possibly configurations adjusted) after installation. Once the IP
linking architecture has been deployed by the IP Linking Service Provider, the performance needs to be
validated via testing.
The primary reason for the testing is to provide assurance that the IP network will perform to the standard
necessary for the MPT-IP network, and will therefore not degrade the performance of the radio system.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are specific traffic characteristics that indicate the minimum performance
requirements of LMR traffic. KPIs for backhaul network are based on the system IP network requirements
defined in all Section 3 of this document, derived from Tait Technical Note TN-2167a “Network Linking Design”.
As the IP Linking Service Provider owns and operates the site-to-node IP links, the responsibility of testing the
links against the provided networking/linking requirement specification will be with theirs.

3.8 Site Equipment IP Addresses


The IP plan for the National Police Network will be designed based on recommendations within the TaitNet
MPT-IP Radio Network System Manual. Alternatively, the service provider needs to specify IP address
availability and subnets. The IP Address Plan based on recommendations from service manual for each of the
site locations is presented in Appendix A – IP Addressing Plan .
