NPSTC is a federation of organizations whose mission is to improve public safety communications and interoperability through collaborative leadership. We thank our Governing Board organizations and volunteers for their expertise and commitment to public safety communications issues. NPSTC sends heartfelt thanks to our volunteers for sharing your time and expertise by participating with NPSTC. This year has been extremely productive with results that will benefit public safety communications for decades.

NPSTC Will Hold a Full NPSTC Meeting by Teleconference on January 10, 2019. NPSTC's 16-member Governing Board will be receiving updates from the Interoperability, Technology and Broadband, and Spectrum Management Committees as well as presentations from the Federal Communications Commission. Please join us in improving public safety communications and interoperability through collaborative leadership. Together we can create one unified voice for public safety. Additional January meeting details available here.

Join Us on January 17, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET, for a Town Hall Session on Datacasting for Public Safety. Datacasting can provide increased situational awareness and data transfer between agencies. Datacasting is the ideal method to deliver large amounts of streaming data like video to a large number of people without overloading the local cellular network. This Town Hall presentation will focus on several new applications and capabilities, including how the State of California is testing an advanced earthquake early warning detection system, how Adams County, Illinois, is enhancing school safety, and how the City of Houston leveraged video and data transfer during the Super Bowl and Hurricane Harvey.

Conference Line: 510-227-1018, Conference ID: 446 1830#

The year 2019 will bring more beneficial changes to public safety communications as FirstNet comes closer to the vision we have all worked so hard to bring about. We look forward to working with you in the New Year.
