DMW Status Design - Feasibility analysis, RF design, and Construction design were completed for all Sites Construction – Completed at 24 sites, nearly completed at 3 sites and soon to start at 2 sites Radios, antennas, waveguides and routers have been installed at over 60 sites Over 900 network miles are in production Installation & implementation are expected to be completed by the end of Q4CY13

LTE Status LTE Border Operations Project Briefed to FirstNet in December 2012 Up to 7 State sites and 2 Federal sites to be established (final selection will be based on Spectrum Analysis results, System Requirements, and System Design Use State DMW and Fiber backhaul Establish MOUs with Federal agencies Establish MOU with Texas to connect to Harris County LTE core

LTE Status SMLA with FirstNet has been signed Suspension lift and project extension requests have been submitted Starting to develop MOUs with Federal agencies and Texas

Risk & Issues Weather and Fire restrictions continue to play a role in upgrade delays, but has been minimal at this time USFS Santa Fe insurance requirements has delayed the permitting process on 2 sites Demolition is now included as part of budget; Priority for State Land Office and BLM sites No funding for Purchase/move of LMR equipment (separate $1.5M funding)
