FirstNet’s Journey

9/11 Attack

2001• Radio communication

challenges impact responding law enforcement, fire, EMS

Deployment

2018 -22• Nationwide expansion and

buildout of Band 14 for the Public Safety Broadband Network

9/11 Commission

2004• Recommends national radio

spectrum for public safety purposes

• Public safety unites to advocate for broadband network

Partnership & Plans

2016-17• Network RFP

• Partnership Award to AT&T

• Delivery of State Plans

• Governor’s decision

FirstNet Created

2012• Independent agency

to deploy Public Safety Broadband Network

Consultation

2015-16• Consultation in all 56 states/territories

• FirstNet works with states to collect and validate users and coverage data

• Outreach to the public safety community

• Governors identify single points of contact (SPOC) for FirstNet

Outreach

2012-15


Innovative public-private partnership

• Partner Oversight and Support

• Public Safety Advocate• Technical Expertise• Innovation Strategy and

Investment

• Nationwide Core • RAN Build-out• Adoption and Customer

Dedicated FirstNet Public Safety Core Network• FirstNet Core implemented March 2018

• Based on 3GPP standardized EvolvedPacket Core (EPC) and IP MultimediaSubsystem (IMS)

• FirstNet Core to provide:• Basic network services (phone/text/mms) Mission-critical services (future) Secure access to private/public networks,

PSEN/PSAP, enterprise and cloud applications Enables full network sharing among Band 14 and

AT&T commercial bands while enabling Band 14 secondary use

QoS, priority and preemption across all AT&T LTE bands

Presentation title here—edit on Slide MasterWhat Is QPP, and Why Does Public Safety Need It?Quality of Service (QoS): establishes minimum/maximum service quality parameters

Priority: Gives users preferred access to network resources

Preemption: Terminates or relocates lower priority users to provide high priority user with access

In plain language, please… Can I get it? Can I keep it? Does it work?


Priorities for 2018

Expand Network through buildout of state RANs and Band 14 nationwide

Launch FirstNet Core – March 2018

Grow Applications Ecosystem for public safety

Test current/future network features in Innovation & Testing Lab


How FirstNet Uses GIS Today


1. Public Safety User Population2. US Population3. Developed Areas / Buildings 4. Roadways5. High Risk / Area of Interest for Public Safety

A. Key FacilitiesB. Critical infrastructureC. Public VenuesD. Major Event LocationsE. International Border Crossings F. Tourist/Recreational Destinations

GIS To Established Coverage Objective Baseline For The RFP


States provided GIS layers to update/enhance the FirstNet baseline.

Range of data, including:– Calls for Service– Fire Incidents– Ferry Terminals– Heliports– Bus and Rail Terminals– Major Sport Venues– Crash Data– LTE Coverage– Tribal Areas– Rural Health Primary Care Areas

States Provided Additional GIS Input LayersUnique To Their First Responder Needs For The RFP

GIS data, maps and layers can be vital to build out of network

GIS Guides Future Network Reinvestment


GIS map and structure layers vital to providing critical situational awareness at incident sites and Foundation Data is available at locations such as HIFLD by DHShttps://hifld-geoplatform.opendata.arcgis.com/

FirstNet Application Process


We know FirstNet will dramatically change and improve how public safety communicates

GIS has played an important role helping FirstNet get to where we are at today & will play an even bigger role in the future (i.e. manage our Network contract with AT&T, target reinvest in areas that provide the most benefit, assisting First Responders with situational awareness, etc.)

Closing

In part due to GIS, the FirstNet network is being built upon the needs and desires of public safety combined with key information such as usage, census, infrastructure, incident locations/volume
