Safeguarding Our Future: Building A Nationwide Network for First Responders

We need to implement a new plan for solving our nation's public safety interoperable communications problem, one that ensures first responders have the latest technology to get the job done and to save lives. We need to support a plan that will provide public safety agencies enough contiguous spectrum to enable the conversions of voice, video, and data communications on one network, and this network must have enough capacity and speed to allow public safety the ability use the latest equipment and applications to do their job in a secure environment.
