  7. LTE Status • LTE Border Operations Project • Briefed to FirstNet in December 2012 • Up to 7 State sites and 2 Federal sites to be established (final selection will be based on Spectrum Analysis results, System Requirements, and System Design • Use State DMW and Fiber backhaul • Establish MOUs with Federal agencies • Establish MOU with Texas to connect to Harris County LTE core

  8. LTE Status • SMLA with FirstNet has been signed • Suspension lift and project extension requests have been submitted • Starting to develop MOUs with Federal agencies and Texas
