Topic description:
Overview of the Cal COP Program
The California Common Operating Picture for Threat Awareness, commonly called Cal COP, is a cloud-based, data-sharing environment available to public safety agencies within the eight California Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) regions as well as (4) State Agencies. Cal COP leverages local risk management and critical infrastructure assessments—layered with real-time, intentional, technological, and natural hazard threat information—to create a common threat awareness picture.

Building a broadband public safety backhaul microwave network with utmost resiliency for 2020.
Every packet counts. Therefore high resiliency and service availability are key design considerations when deploying a public safety microwave networks. The traditional architecture of ring-and-spoke topology can provide strong protection against failure in the aggregating ring but leaves the radio sites on the spokes vulnerable to upstream failure. Furthermore, multi-failures in the rings also can also cut off connectivity if there is no path diversity, jeopardizing critical communications. This session discusses how a Nokia backhaul network solution, based on IP/MPLS and packet microwave, with a multi-ring topology, can provide utmost resiliency. From fault detection, OAM to rapid network restoration, we will discuss how IP/MPLS riding atop packet microwave can leverage full path diversity to restore connectivity even in multi-failure scenarios, ensuring highest network availability for first responders to get their jobs done safely.
