FirstNet State Plan Timeline

State Alternative Plan Program Act requires FirstNet’s NPSBN to consist of a core network and radio access network (RAN) that link to the core. Ensures single, interoperable nationwide network What is states/territories “opt-out?” Accept responsibility to construct, operate, maintain, and improve their own RAN that connects to FirstNet core. Must demonstrate to NTIA that state has ability to successfully improve a RAN that interoperates with the NPSBN.

SAPP – The Process

Moving Forward The upcoming National Partner announcement and Statewide opt-in/out decisions are HUGE. We will assume that those who are in positions to procure technology equipment and articulate their needs, need help. We recognize Municipal budgets are tight. Educate Municipal IT departments about FirstNet. No matter the decision, while FirstNet may become operational, subscribers may lack the ability to connect of lack the desire to connect.

ALPSB Phased Coverage

Stakeholder Surveys Online surveys designed to collect information including: Contact information for appropriate personnel Number of staff per agency Wireless data spending by carrier Barriers to adoption Due to the limited number of responses (111 to date), public safety entity (PSE) data was extrapolated from US Census government worker data counts

PSE Information Online survey was supplemented by a telephone survey with a representative subset of counties and cities Objective to gather comprehensive data from large, medium and smaller communities Actual data assessed against US Census data County Name Pop Rank County Pop Police Officers Only Mobile 2 415,395 916 Montgomery 4 226,519 664 Calhoun 10 115,620 253 Limestone 15 91,663 95 Talladega 19 80,862 158 Chilton 29 43,943 73 Cherokee 41 25,859 40 Greene 67 8,479 23

Contract Vehicles Fire uses state contracts, local contracts, and carrier contracts more than any other discipline Law Enforcement uses state contracts more than any other contract vehicle EMS predominantly purchases from the carrier Very few agencies use GSA contracts

ALPSB Next Steps Expand survey participation Conduct county-by-county coverage assessments
