1. Our Nation’s first responders rely on communications systems supplied by a small number of equipment providers to support mission-critical communications. The characteristics of how public safety equipment is developed and provided may impact the interoperability and efficiency of communications between first responders, which could potentially threaten lives and property. Because of the important role these communications systems play in supporting our Nation’s public safety personnel, it is imperative that we explore all potential barriers to achieving nationwide interoperability for both broadband and narrowband communications, and determine what, if any, actions the Commission should take in this area.
