7. Executive Committee met yesterday for a “Broadband Coverage Workshop” • The US Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) led the workshop. Presented data collected from a variety of nationwide sources to establish a baseline/starting point when establishing coverage objectives for FirstNet • We can use this data and refine it to meet our unique public safety operational needs

8. Guidelines Focus on coverage….not infrastructure • The goal is to define and prioritize operational coverage needs • RAN site selection, backhaul, hardening requirements, etc. are for a later discussion • These site selection factors will be addressed through SLIGP funding This is a starting point…..nothing is final • The maps provided by OEC are to help States identify its own coverage objectives • Many coverage factors/approaches that the State develops can/will adjust throughout the consultation process

9. Guidelines LTE is a mobile data solution first…..mission critical voice is yet to come • NPSBN will initially support mission critical data and (potentially) supplementary voice • System will not replace need for land mobile radio (LMR) systems (based on current technology)

10. Focus on Coverage • Capacity • How many total users? • What is their operational area? • What type of applications do they use? • Coverage • Where is reliable coverage needed? • For what level/ device types? • Using what potential methods? • RAN Design • Estimated number of sites • Initial cost estimate • Parameters for asset data collection

11. How will we collect this information? • Prior to consultation with FirstNet, IPSC will • Validate agency information • Gauge interest and needs • Disseminate information as it becomes available • Expect to be contacted by one of our new Field/Outreach Coordinators

16. MDST Example Questions 1. Agency Info: Name, Discipline, Location, Contact info 2. Commercial Systems: Provider, Cost, Devices, Contracts 3. Private Systems: Provider, Cost, Radios 4. Wireless Services: Barriers, Personal Use, Coverage 5. NPSBN Info: Awareness, Applications, Potential Assets, MOAs 6. LMR: Radio counts, cost, end of life

17. Phase 2 SLIGP • We don’t expect locals to do all this on their own • Bulk of SLIGP $$ is for contacted data collection services

18. Summary • State should develop an understanding of their operational user requirements to be communicated to FirstNet • Coverage • Users (Capacity) • FirstNetwill develop a system design based on these needs which will be refined through consultation • Focus outreach on the near-term needs of consultation • OEC and tools available to public safety agencies • Coverage and User Information • Mobile Data Survey Tool • Broadband Resources
