Sample Recent NPSTC Actions
• Implemented National Interoperability Information
eXchange (NIIX)
• Established liaison w/ Public Safety in Canada (CITIG)
• Developed 700 MHz broadband requirements document
• Analyzed LPTV at 700 MHz
• Developed “Best Practices for In-Building
Communications” paper
• Obtained agreement on 700 MHz channel naming plan
• Pursuing improvements in border area spectrum use
• Assisting PSST on 700 MHz narrowband relocation plan

National Interoperability
Information eXchange (www.NIIX.org)
• NIIX is a collaborative tool to share information
• Provides centralized access to peer-supplied
documents, including various plans, agreements,
governance, policy, legislation, SOPs, funding, etc.
• Web-based, secure location accessible to public
safety community
• Only members with appropriate authorization have
access documents
• For more info: www.NIIX.org; [email protected]; Toll Free

Border Issues Working Group
• Resolution of border issues is essential for
national security
– Seamless interoperability across borders
– Several additional bilateral agreements needed
to share or coordinate spectrum use
– Need equitable distribution of spectrum with
streamlined coordination procedures
– Interference resolution procedures similar to
those for Mexico are needed for Canada

and interoperability through collaborative leadership.

Maximizing Availability of 700
MHz Band Spectrum
• Full Power analog TV is being cleared from the 700
MHz band by 2/17/09
• LPTV, TV Translators & Broadcast Auxiliary ops have
no set clearing deadline
• Public Safety cannot wait until interference occurs to
invoke its priority
• NPSTC is active on this issue.

Guidelines to Assess Scope of
LPTV/Translator Stations for Notification
• Narrowband 700 MHz
– Co-channel 68 & 69: search 100-125 miles radius around PS site.
– Co-channel 63 & 64: search 75-100 mile radius.
– Adjacent 62 & 67 – Check for stations within the PS service area.
[Less likely to impact narrowband PS since these channels are over
5 MHz away.]
• PS Broadband 700 MHz
– Co-channel 62, 63, 67 & 68: search 100-125 miles radius
• Only 1 MHz of channels 62 & 67 are co-channel to PS BB
– Adjacent 64 & 69 – search 50-75 mile radius.
NPSTC is a federation of organizations whose mission is to improve public safety communications
and interoperability through collaborative leadership.
21
Broadband Working Group
• Conducted initiative to determine Public Safety
broadband requirements at 700 MHz
• Included massive effort by industry and public safety
• Provided opportunity for review and comment to
over 256,000 public safety users
• Received and responded to over 400 comments
• Published requirements in November 2007; See
www.NPSTC.org
• Additional activities: 700 MHz handset requirements
& 4.9 GHz technologies

700 MHz Narrowband Relocation
• FCC requires PSST to develop relocation plan
• Relocation funding to come from D block winner; FCC
set $10M cap.
• Approx. 45 agencies provided inventory of deployments
• Relocation will require more than $10M
• FCC set February 2009 as relocation deadline; the need
to reauction D block impacts ability to meet this date
• NPSTC, PSST and equipment suppliers working
together on plan
• Upcoming FCC NPRM on D block re-auction is a
potential avenue to address funding and deadline
