FirstNet Will Learn from Early Builders


• Early Builders represent a substantial opportunity to demonstrate critical FirstNet functionality – starting in 2013.

• The FirstNet Board is negotiating a Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement (SMLA) with each of the seven BTOP grantees and recently authorized negotiations with Texas for the Harris County Project.

• FirstNet will work collaboratively with the Early Builders on “key learning areas” and share information with other projects, FirstNet and the public safety community.

FirstNet RFI Plans Device RFI issued April 15, 2013 Plan to issue RFIs in several areas:

Core Systems Deployment Partners Radio Access Network (RAN) Systems Satellite Network Coverage System Operational Support Systems (OSS) User Operations Systems General Services

Participation – Responses to the RFIs, and subsequent RFPs (under FAR) is completely open.

Responses – Can be submitted by individual suppliers, consortiums and systems integrators of all sizes responding to various combinations of RFIs.

STATE, TRIBAL, TERRITORIAL AND LOCAL CONSULTATION PROCESS


Thursday, June 13, 2013 For Offical Use Only 18

FirstNet will continue to consult with the states, tribes, territories and localities until we have the information we need to develop state network build-out plans.

Activities When

Nationwide, Regional Workshops May – June 2013

Individual State Meetings Beginning June 2013

Data Gathering Commencing with Phase 2 SLIGP Funds Release

Ongoing Consultation Process

Consultation Process: Data Gathering


• Only what’s needed: The data request will be built to be as efficient as possible.

• What is needed: FirstNet requires input and requirements from state, local and tribal entities to prepare network plans for state review. Examples include: • Architecture of an evolved packet core and radio access network • Required coverage areas of the network • Hardening, security, reliability, and resiliency requirements • Assignment of priority users and selection of secondary users • Training needs • Availability of assets that may be utilized

Information and data needed.

CONCLUSION


FirstNet Exists to Serve Public Safety

Creating FirstNet will require an unprecedented level of public-private partnership and state and local collaboration, and a shared commitment of all parties to the well-being of all Americans.
