LMR Analysis

Other / Unclassified

This document is a memorandum from the 502d Air Base Wing, Joint Base San Antonio, detailing the need for a new Land Mobile Radio (LMR) coverage analysis. It outlines the proposed solution, which involves a technical team surveying specific grid areas within the San Antonio region and military influence zones, including testing the range and reliability of existing UHF R1 ASTRO Site Repeaters.

This document highlights a critical need for improved communication coverage visibility. The analysis aims to identify and address communication gaps, which are currently hindering infrastructure optimization and potentially leading to service disruptions. The findings will enable data-driven decision-making, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance, ultimately improving service reliability and supporting user needs. The analysis is deemed necessary because the organization lacks the internal capability to conduct such a survey. The impact of this analysis is significant, as it will help ensure better support for Airmen and mission partners by identifying coverage gaps and planning for potential network expansion, thereby reducing reliance on cell phones in critical situations. The document also notes that Motorola offers services and tools suitable for this type of analysis.
