§1422 Public safety broadband network

Summary

The First Responder Network Authority must create and run a single nationwide public safety broadband network that lets different emergency agencies work together. The network must use one national design that can evolve with new technology and start with two parts. The core network has national and regional data centers and other pieces spread across the country, built to commercial industry standards, and it connects the radio access network to the public Internet and/or the public switched network. The radio access network includes cell-site equipment, antennas, and backhaul equipment, also built to commercial industry standards, and must be planned and operated using the plans from the State, local, and tribal planning and implementation grant program under section 1442(a).
