A Nationwide “Public Safety” Broadband Wireless Data
Network?
21 September 2011 NATOA 2011- Public Safety Broadband Wireless
Bill Schrier, CTO, City of Seattle 7
A Little History
2005 – DTV transition, 700 MHz for p. safety
Nov 2007 – FCC grants national license PSST
Dec 2009 – May 2010:
21 cities, regions, states ask for waivers
May 2010 – FCC grants 21 waivers
May 2010 – Broadband grant program
Sep 2010 – 7 grants awarded to construct
Aug 2013 – Broadband grants deadline

Waiver- and BTOP-Receiving Jurisdictions
21 September 2011 NATOA 2011- Public Safety Broadband Wireless
Bill Schrier, CTO, City of Seattle 9
Who’s on First?
Public Safety Spectrum Trust (PSST) Holds the national license for 10 MHz of spectrum in the 700 MHz band used to build these networks
PSST-Operator Advisory Committee (OAC) The 21 cities, regions and states who have received waivers to construct these networks and have leases with the PSST
Public Safety Comm’s Research (PSCR) Federal Department of Commerce in Boulder Colorado testing LTE equipment for interoperability
Office of Emergency Comm’s (DHS/OEC) Provides technical assistance and support on interoperable communications to any state and local government
FCC Public Safety Homeland Security Bureau Oversees the spectrum and sets rules designed to help guarantee interoperability for all the netwokrs
Nat’l Telecomm Infrastructure Admin. (NTIA) Oversees the BTOP grants to seven of the waiver jurisdictions

Other Jurisdictions
Mesa, AZ ~ some funding in hand – RFP done
Boston ~ some funding in hand - Statewide?
Seattle - public/private partnership?
State of Texas ~ statewide waiver granted, statewide coordination in progress,
Houston / Harris County – five site system in testing – expand to 45 in 2012
Iowa – RFI in progress
Others ~ planning still underway

Common Issues
BTOP: environmental assessments, conflicting regulations, 3 year timeframe
“Charlotte” decision on “public safety”
Sustainability (OPEX)
Shared services (virtual control)
Interlinking the networks, interoperability
Data now, voice long-term: push-to-talk, one-to-many dispatch, device-to-device
Apps and Innovation (next slide)

Why and How?
21 September 2011 NATOA 2011- Public Safety Broadband Wireless
Bill Schrier, CTO, City of Seattle 15
Applications
Video to/from field units Emergency Medical
Facial Recognition
Building plans &
diagrams
Access to crime databases and maps

Geographic Expansion
Now: City of Seattle
Next: Four-County Central Puget Sound Region
Then: State of Washington
All interoperable nationally

Expansion of Use
Today: Public Safety
Law Enforcement
Firefighting & EMS
Second Responders
Electric & Water Utilities
Transportation
Public Works
General Government
Commercial?

Bill Schrier, CTO, City of Seattle 18
Expansion of Tech
Today – 4G LTE neteworks
Data / Computers
Laptops & Handhelds
Roaming PS & Commercial
2012 – Cellular Voice on LTE
? – one-to-many dispatch on LTE
? – device-to-device comms without a network

Bill Schrier, CTO, City of Seattle 19
In Congress S.911 – Passed Senate Commerce 21-4 June
Rockefeller – Hutchison
Re-allocate D Block – 20 MHz spectrum
Sell spectrum - $26B with $12B for public safety
$500 M for research – Dept. of Commerce
Public Safety Broadband Corporation
Full Senate action this month?
House action?
“Super Committee” ?

Conclusion
Old and New Threats
Explosion of New Technologies
Public Safety needs new applications
The U.S. has dedicated spectrum
Funding is on the way
We are building these networks today
The network will become U. S. nationwide for first and second responders
