Location Information System
The Location Information System (LIS) resides outside of the standard P25 Radio System Network.
The LIS could be a GPS, a LORAN system, or some other location system. That provides location
information to the subscriber. Depending on the subscriber manufacturer’s design, the LIS may be a
part of the actual subscriber (GPS microphone or integrated GPS chipset for example).
The LIS to subscriber or MDP interface is not standardized as the LIS industry is separate from the
Land Mobile Radio Industry, as well as the LIS could be part of the subscriber itself.
