Major events in any community are a massive planning effort—like the Presidential Inauguration, for instance. For public safety, they mean planning to stay connected over open airways—which is achieved over public safety spectrum bandwidth (often referred to as the 700 and 800 MHz public safety band). Having enough bandwidth is key to effectively coordinating staffing and communications resources. However, it comes with its challenges—and that's what a grant from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is working to address with partners at the National Regional Planning Council (NRPC) and the Association of Public Safety Communication Officials International (APCO). The grant is helping regional planning communities (RPC) secure Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licensing capabilities and public safety spectrum bandwidth, allowing agencies to better respond to major incidents or plan large public events. | | | | |
