The National Capital Region Interoperability Project (NCRIP) is an Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) funded program for the National Capital Region (NCR) which represents 22 large municipal jurisdictions in and around the Nation’s Capital (including the District of Columbia, Prince George and Montgomery Counties in Maryland, Arlington, Loudon, Fairfax, and Prince William Counties and the cities of Fairfax, Vienna, Falls Church and Alexandria in Virginia). The objective of the NCRIP is to provide a system for sharing critical incident management communication and information amongst all of the member jurisdictions. The NCRIP has a variety of critical sub projects including the design and implementation of a regional wireless broadband network, a regional government fiber interconnection, and a Data Exchange Hub (DEH) that focuses on accommodating the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The DEH, will deliver a portal and Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), via an internet/intranet environment to support secure XML and other data format exchanges between NCR jurisdictions and the federal government.
Televate, together with the NCR Metropolitan Communications Information Officers (Metro CIOs) conceived the NCRIP, provides overall program management for the project and provides comprehensive technical, project management and operational implementation services for the wireless broadband solution.
In addition Televate designed and managed a massive data collection effort of critical information technology assets, a survey of first responder data exchange requirements and their existing applications, and an assessment of broadband wireless data requirements and applications to use over this network.
