First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) The next generation of public safety communications 1
Nationwide Vision PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS Dedicated Spectrum Priority / Preemption Public Safety Grade Cybersecurity Public Safety Applications Map from Mosaik Solutions LLC 2
Implementing the Vision THE LAW 2.22.12 FirstNet becomes law PL 112-96 GOVERNANCE The FirstNet Board has 15 members, including those with telecommunications and public safety backgrounds. Each Governor appoints 1 Single Point of Contact (SPOC) and governing body to represent the State s interests to FirstNet. 42 member Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) advises FirstNet on public safety intergovernmental matters. UL FUNDING $7B authorized to build the FirstNet network. Funded by spectrum auctions through 2022. BAND 14 20MHz of bandwidth has been dedicated to public safety in the prime upper 700MHz frequency range.

Actions for Federal Adoption Sept 2015 2016 2017 Baseline Data Collection Action: Aggregate Initial information on facilities, users, coverage Outcomes: -Identify baseline coverage needs -Understand Federal presence -Understand economic impacts Data Refinement & Consultation Action: Gather detailed data related to regions, CONOPS and use cases, critical infrastructure Outcomes: -Analyze existing and future coverage objectives -Identify unique Federal capability needs Federal Adoption Action: Report Federal priorities, capabilities, procurement approaches Outcomes: -Incorporate Federal needs into State Plans -Communicate network deployment phases WHY? Data collection will identify Federal coverage needs and unique requirements (e.g., security, compliance standards), ultimately defining the Federal needs for FirstNet 18
