OWIN will establish a statewide public safety radio network that provides reliable, wireless communications for emergency responders at the state, county, city, special district, federal and tribal levels. This network will provide interoperability so that responders from these various jurisdictions can talk to each other. Integral to the successful construction and operation of this network is a digital microwave backbone network. This will provide connectivity to the statewide, interoperable P-25 digital trunked radio system. It will include an internet protocol platform so that users at the local level can talk to each other. The OWIN project will also be responsible for establishing statewide moderate-speed wireless data systems for use by public safety agencies in Oregon. The scope of the OWIN project is statewide and will benefit federal and state agencies, local law enforcement and fire service agencies, cities, counties, emergency medical service providers and tribal agencies.
