Executive Committee met yesterday for a “Broadband
Coverage Workshop”
The US Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) led
the workshop. Presented data collected from a variety
of nationwide sources to establish a baseline/starting
point when establishing coverage objectives for FirstNet
We can use this data and refine it to meet our unique
public safety operational needs
Guidelines
Focus on coverage….not infrastructure

The goal is to define and prioritize operational coverage needs

RAN site selection, backhaul, hardening requirements, etc. are for a
later discussion

These site selection factors will be addressed through SLIGP funding
This is a starting point…..nothing is final

The maps provided by OEC are to help States identify its own coverage
objectives

Many coverage factors/approaches that the State develops can/will
adjust throughout the consultation process
Guidelines
LTE is a mobile data solution first…..mission
critical voice is yet to come


NPSBN will initially support mission critical data and
(potentially) supplementary voice
System will not replace need for land mobile radio
(LMR) systems (based on current technology)
Focus on Coverage
Coverage
•
Where is
reliable
coverage
needed?
•
For what level/
device types?
•
Using what
potential
methods?
Capacity
RAN Design
•
How many total
users?
•
Estimated
number of sites
•
What is their
operational
area?
•
Initial cost
estimate
•
Parameters for
asset data
collection
•
What type of
applications do
they use?
How will we collect this information?
• Prior to consultation with FirstNet, IPSC will
‐
‐
‐
Validate agency information
Gauge interest and needs
Disseminate information as it becomes available
• Expect to be contacted by one of our new

•
Governance: Establish or enhance a governance structure to consult with FirstNet;
Representation: Ensure local and tribal representation when the State is consulting with
FirstNet;
Education: Conduct education and outreach for all relevant stakeholders that will be
involved in the PSBN;
Users: Identify potential public safety users for the PSBN;
MOU: Develop a standard Memorandum of Agreement appropriate for the State to
facilitate the possible sharing of infrastructure with FirstNet;
Staffing: Develop staffing plans to involve local and tribal stakeholders in a future data
collection in consultation with FirstNet;
SCIP: Prepare a comprehensive plan as part of the Statewide Communication
Interoperability Plan (SCIP), or a plan complementary and similar to the SCIP, describing
the public safety needs that the grantee expects FirstNet to address, plus relevant
milestones; and
Infrastructure Data Collection (Phase 2): Maximize use of existing public/private assets to
reduce costs and speed deployment

MDST Example Questions
1. Agency Info: Name, Discipline, Location, Contact info
2. Commercial Systems: Provider, Cost, Devices, Contracts
3. Private Systems: Provider, Cost, Radios
4. Wireless Services: Barriers, Personal Use, Coverage
5. NPSBN Info: Awareness, Applications, Potential Assets, MOAs
6. LMR: Radio counts, cost, end of life
Phase 2 SLIGP


We don’t expect locals to do all this on their own
Bulk of SLIGP $$ is for contacted data collection
services
Summary
•
•
•
•
State should develop an understanding of their operational user requirements
to be communicated to FirstNet
• Coverage
• Users (Capacity)
FirstNet will develop a system design based on these needs which will be
refined through consultation
Focus outreach on the near-term needs of consultation
