6. Discussion of Rep. Peter King’s HR 607 Bill and its impact on 450 to 470 MHZ

7. HR 607 On February 10, 2011, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, introduced H.R. 607, the “Broadband for First Responders Act of 2011,” which has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee (which handles telecommunications legislation). The bill addresses certain spectrum management issues including the creation and maintenance of a nationwide Public Safety broadband network.

8. As part of that network, the Bill provides for the allocation of the so-called “D-Block” of spectrum in the 700 MHz range for Public Safety use. HR 607 uniquely, provides for the reallocation of other spectrum for auction to commercial users, in order to offset the loss of revenue that would occur as the result of the allocation of the D-Block to Public Safety instead of commercial auction. H.R. 607 lists, among the bands to be reallocated for commercial auction within ten years of the passage of the Bill, the paired bands 420-440 MHz and 450-470 MHz.

9. What is scoring? Scoring, or scorekeeping, is the process of estimating the federal budgetary cost or savings that would result from enacting a bill into law.

10. Potential Cost 350,000 potentially effected radios 230,000 Burg @ $1000 60,000 New Fire @ $1000 60,000 Old fire @ $1375 Total potential cost to the industry approaches $700 million.

11. ARRL’s Position “While the ARRL and all Amateurs support the work of Public Safety and recognize their need for dedicated spectrum which would promote interoperability, the ARRL vigorously opposes HR 607 in its present form. HR 607 is a direct threat to our limited spectrum and the ARRL encourages all amateurs to appropriately voice their opposition to this bill. ”

13. Five Options* 1.420 to 440 MHz paired with 450 to 470 MHz 2.440 to 460 MHz paired with 490 to 510 MHz 3.450 to 470 MHz paired with 490 to 510 MHz 4. 450 to 470 MHz paired with 480 - 500 MHz 5. 440 to 460 MHz paired with 480 - 500 MHz * Per Sean Kirkendall, Vice President, of Cardinal Point Partners, LLC Consultant to APCO International & Public safety Alliance

14. Option 1 420 - 440 MHz paired with 450 - 470 MHz This is the current option identified in HR 607. This option will repurpose and auction federal/amateur radio spectrum along with portions of the public safety spectrum. The spectrum also impacts a large majority of EMS operations on the UHF bands. This option is detrimental to our central station frequencies.

15. Option 2 440 - 460 MHz paired with 490 - 510 MHz This includes some but not all of the federal and amateur radio spectrum, it excludes most of EMS bands and avoids most of the largest cities. This option can work with our central station frequencies

16. Option 3 450 - 470 MHz paired with 490 - 510 MHz This pairing does not impact the federal and amateur radio spectrum, it does impact EMS bands, but it does not impact many of the largest cities. This option is detrimental to our central station frequencies.

17. Option 4 450 - 470 MHz paired with 480 - 500 MHz This pairing does not impact the federal and amateur radio spectrum, it does impact EMS bands, and it will impact many of the largest cities. This option is detrimental to our central station frequencies.

18. Option 5 440 - 460 MHz paired with 480 - 500 MHz This includes some but not all of the federal and amateur radio spectrum, it excludes most of EMS bands, but it includes most of the largest cities. This option is detrimental to our central station frequencies.

19. So Option 2 is the best choice. 440 - 460 MHz paired with 490 - 510 MHz This includes some but not all of the federal and amateur radio spectrum, it excludes most of EMS bands and avoids most of the largest cities. This option can work with our central station frequencies

23. Open Network Architecture (ONA) is the overall design of a communication carrier’s basic network facilities and services to permit all users of the basic network to interconnect to specific basic network functions and interfaces on an unbundled, equal-access basis

24. Future Standard for Alarm Communication Systems This standard creates protocols and network architecture(s) for alarm and alarm related data transmission over wired and wireless broadband networks. This includes the transmission of burglar, fire, two-way audio and video information as well as other data uses. This protocol will include expanded reporting beyond current zone/point limits. Possible uses: “D’ Block frequencies Cognitive Radio “White Space” applications Enhancements to currently available technologies Potentially Central Station to PSAP data transfer

25. A Consensus Standard would facilitate all companies to design equipment to this new platform.
