This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Responder Network Authority, also known as FirstNet, was established under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. It is intended to address communication failures that slowed recovery efforts during major national emergencies, including the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina. States like Mississippi know firsthand the consequences of communications network breakdown. FEMA, Red Cross, and others were hindered from providing the emergency recovery services needed during and after Katrina. The 2012 Act allocated $7 billion from spectrum auction proceeds for the purpose of building and operating a nationwide public safety broadband network. The spectrum auction raised the $7 billion needed to begin the planning and development stage. Although FirstNet has made progress, questions linger about the future viability of the network. FirstNet is committed to providing rural communities with the same services as larger urban cities, but rural and remote coverage remains a major concern. Each region of the country faces a unique set of challenges, and addressing these challenges is critical to achieving nationwide deployment of FirstNet.

Book excerpt: The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) is a federal agency that includes private sector and other non-federal representation on its board of directors. FirstNet was created by Congress with provisions in Title VI (Spectrum Act) of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to ensure the deployment and operation of a nationwide, broadband network for public safety communications. It is established as an "independent authority" within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), part of the Department of Commerce. There are many challenges for public safety leaders and policymakers in establishing the framework for a nationwide network that meets state, local, tribal and territorial needs for robust, interoperable emergency communications. Currently, for example, state emergency communications needs are typically met by separate networks using different technologies. Furthermore, each state has its own laws and procedures for building, managing, and funding communications infrastructure. Among the challenges facing FirstNet is establishing a governance model that accommodates current investments and future needs of its clients without compromising the coherence of a national network. This book discusses the elements, issues, and progress made by FirstNet.

Download or read book The First Responder Network Firstnet and Next Generation Communications for Public Safety written by Linda K. Moore and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since September 11, 2001, when communications failures contributed to the tragedies of the day, Congress has passed several laws intended to create a nationwide emergency communications capability. Yet the United States has continued to strive for a solution that assures seamless communications among first responders and emergency personnel at the scene of a major disaster. To address this problem, Congress included provisions in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-96) for planning, building, and managing a new, nationwide, broadband network for public safety communications (FirstNet), and assigned additional radio frequency spectrum to accommodate the new network. In addition, the act has designated federal appropriations of over $7 billion for the network and other public safety needs. These funds will be provided through new revenue from the auction of spectrum licenses. These and other public safety and spectrum provisions of the act appear in Title VI, known as the Public Safety and Spectrum Act, or Spectrum Act.
