Significant progress is occurring in all areas affecting public safety broadband utilization.  The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) continues to refine their vision for a nationwide public safety LTE system.  3GPP continues to advance standards that will support public safety use of broadband networks and systems.

There are a variety of issues that need to be monitored by public safety to ensure that input from the first responder community is incorporated into these evolving standards and work plans.  This working group will monitor a number of specific issues relating to public safety broadband and will also be asked to review and provide input on new issues and concerns that are identified by the first responder community.
