<br />page 1, Of '}. <br /> <br />It is clear that some changes will need to be made in order for us to <br />transition to GPRS. Existing CDPD modems will not work with GPRS, and <br />will need to be replaced. A separate frame relay connection into the <br />AT&T GPRS network will have to be established. Some minor modifications <br />may need to be made to the applications we are using, however, no <br />dramatic rewrites of any software applications are antiCipated. AT&T <br />has stated that they hope to minimize the financial impact on local <br />agencies using their networks, so we will be working with them to <br />accomplish this. <br /> <br />Because the applications we use in the squad car are IP based, we are <br />well positioned to make the transition to GPRS, which is simply a <br />different and faster IP network. <br /> <br />Although it contains much more information than you probably want to <br />know about GPRS, here is a link to a web site that provides some <br />information on it. <br />http://www.gsmworld.comltechnology/gprs/intro.shtml <br /> <br />I wanted to be sure the Chiefs and the system trainers were aware of <br />these issues as soon as possible. I'm sure more will be learned about <br />the transition at the IACP conference, and in the months to come. As <br />always, feel free to contact me with questions or concerns about this, <br />or any Issue. <br /> <br />John Tonding <br />Communications Manager <br /> <br />9/26/2002 <br /> <br />6J <br />
