Directory Provides Links to Needed Public Safety Broadband Information
In February 2012, Congress passed groundbreaking legislation for a new Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN), signed into law by President Obama on February 22.  The passage of the law has enabled the reality of the deployment of a nationwide public safety broadband network and will transform the way public safety practitioners communicate.
What does it mean for your agency?  What type of local control and priority service will your agency have?  How does the broadband network affect voice over Land Mobile Radio?  What are the requirements for the network?  What kinds of standards are being developed?  How will the federal government interact with state and local organizations?  The Public Safety Broadband Directory has links to a wide range of current information on the nationwide efforts to bring broadband to public safety, including:
  • Advocacy
  • Governance
  • Background Info & News
  • Policy
  • Requirements
  • Standards Organizations
  • Testbeds
