Preparing for a Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN) in Missouri This presentation was prepared by the Missouri SLIGP using funds under an award from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the NTIA, DOC, or FirstNet.
NPSBN • Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) • Single nationwide public safety network • Based on LTE technology • Located in public safety spectrum 700mhz band • First responders to send / receive data and video
Objectives – Meeting 1 of 5 • Introduce you to : • NPSBN • SLIGP • FirstNet and what their roles are in delivering a broadband network to public safety in Missouri
What we don’t know? • The cost of the system for users • By device • By data consumption • How coverage is going to be accomplished • Terrestrial • Satellite • Other • When is it going to be done
SLIGP • State and • Local • Implementation • Grant • Program
Missouri’s SLIGP Staff • A sub unit in the Department of Public Safety’s Interoperability Office • Mr. Bryan Courtney – Single Point of Contact for SLIGP • Assisted by a staff responsible for carrying out the SLIGP mission
SLIGP Mission • Provide education and outreach to the public safety community about FirstNet • Collaborate with the public safety community to identify yourneeds, requirements, and desires for broadband use through : • surveys, • focus groups, and • direct conversations
SLIGP Mission (cont.) • Share that information with FirstNet to be used to create the plan for the Missouri Radio Access Network (RAN) • Provide timely communication to FirstNet regarding Missouri’s progress
SLIGP Mission (cont.) • Use the information to aid in understanding the needs and requirements of Missouri public safety agencies and first responders.
Phase One Tasks • Task 1 – Project Plan • Task 2 – Governance Recommendation • Task 3 – Education and Outreach • Task 4 – Stakeholder Entity List • Task 5 – MOU and MOA • Task 6 – State and Stakeholder Volunteers • Task 7 – Requirements Collection • Task 8 – SCIP Recommendation • Task 9 – Data Discovery and Collection • Task 10 – Financial Sustainability Plan
What is FirstNet? The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) shall hold the single public safety wireless license and take all actions necessary to ensure the building, deployment, and operation of the nationwide public safety broadband network
Why was FirstNet created? • 9/11 Commission • Federal law
What is NPSBN? • High speed • Wireless • Broadband data network • Dedicated to public safety • Nationwide
LTE Basics • Long Term Evolution • First commercial standard released 2008 (Release 8) • First commercial launch in 2009 (Sweden) • Release 10 in Q3 - 2012
LTE VALUE CREATION & INNOVATION Open, commercial standards - economies of scale - time to market Rapid Technology Development Increased Device Capabilities Improved Infrastructure Deployment Capabilities Affordable Device Costs
Why LTE? Throughput!! 12.5 KHz P25 pipe 10 MHz broadband pipe A single mission critical voice stream Video Internet Database downloads Multiple mission critical voice streams Push to Talk (non mission critical voice) RoIP Messaging / Text Metadata 800 x more bandwidth
What will be possible with FirstNet? FirstNet will be used to send: Data, Text, Video, & Images
What will be possible with FirstNet(cont.)? • Fast access • Priority access • Network control

Mission Critical vs. Mission Support • Mission Critical • Communications that are required to maintain safety of first responders and the people with whom they interact • Mission Support • Communications that provide improved operational efficiency, enhance safety, and augment command and control, but are not essential Initial high bandwidth data applications such as streaming video will be for mission support use
High Bandwidth Data Communications are Key to Potential Public Safety Applications
Why is FirstNet needed? • In an emergency, commercial networks: • Fail
Why is FirstNet needed? • In an emergency, commercial networks: • Fail • Get Overloaded
Why is FirstNet needed? • Because in an emergency, commercial networks : • Fail • Get overloaded • Don’t provide priority access to public safety
Defining “public safety grade”*Public Safety Advisory Committee FirstNet Attribute Defining Public Safety Grade “Where public safety needs it” “You can count on it” “Multiple back-up options” “Your trusted resource” “Essential to teamwork” • Coverage • Reliability • Resiliency • Emergency Communications • Group Communications
FirstNet Challenges - Coverage • Coverage • 3,250 Counties • 566 Tribes • Rural, Wilderness, and Island coverage • 60,000 Public Safety Agencies • 3.8 million square miles
FirstNet Challenges - Coverage Unique Geography and Demographics Require Multiple Solutions – Seamless Operation
Not Public Safety Grade Not Financially Feasible FirstNet Challenges -Coverage
Manhunts Lost hikers / campers Rescues Plane crash FirstNet Challenges - Coverage
FirstNet Challenges -Reliability • Public safety grade design includes: • Extended life battery systems • Back up power systems • Diverse routing of cell site links (overhead, underground, thru air) • Diverse cell site link technology (fiber, coax, microwave, telco, optical, satellite) The majority of cell site outages are due to loss of power and data links
FirstNet Challenges - Resiliency • Physical • Diverse routing of cells • Mirrored databases • Geographically distributed processing • Operational • Mobile hotspots • Bring your own cell (BYOC) • Cells on Wheels (COWs, COLTs, GOATs, SOWs) Recovering quickly after a network incident is imperative
How will FirstNet benefit public safety? • Situational awareness • Save time when seconds count • Save money • Save lives, solve crimes, and keep our communities and first responders safer
If You Wanted Something More Robust, You Should Have Said So !!
What is next? • Meeting # 2 • Identify Regional Team Representatives by: • Name • Discipline (Fire, EMS, Law Enforcement) • RPC Districts • Finalize needs assessment process • Review the Mobile Data Survey tool • Do we need focus groups or smaller meetings by discipline • Assign sector tasks to team representatives
Final Thought • What do I want this network to do for me? • Between now and the next meeting please discuss with your peers what a PSBN can do for you. • There will be things come up that we haven’t thought of or considered • We want to be sure all of the possibilities are considered
Missouri’s Single Point of Contact bryan.courtney@dps.mo.gov 573-522-9584 SLIGP Contact information : bob.bloomberg@dps.mo.gov Education and Outreach Coordinator Office telephone 573-526-8697 Cell Phone 573-645-7462
Upcoming meetings • #2- Confirm participants by name and discipline, review future meeting dates, assign outreach work to be completed for meeting #3. • #3- verify contact information for needs assessment survey for agencies not attending the meetings. We have the ability to come back to your area to further discuss FirstNet if you can assemble a group of 20. • #4- review feedback from surveys (statewide) • #5-discuss our final document describing Missouri’s needs for a PSBN and update on SIEC governance recommendations
