The Public Safety Broadband Technology Association (PSBTA) is honored to feature a panel at the 2026 Vision Summit on the July 2026 DC Circuit ruling on the 4.9 GHz band, The 4.9 Ruling Is Here—What’s Your Next Step? on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 9:30 am – 10:00 am. The panel includes leaders from the Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA) and the Public Safety Broadband Technology Association (PSBTA) Chief Richard Carrizzo (Ret), Chief Jeff Johnson (Ret), and Dick Mirgon.
This ruling on the 4.9 GHz band marks a turning point for public safety spectrum policy—affirming the FCC’s framework that enables a Band Manager to coordinate expanded FirstNet access while protecting incumbent agencies. In this session, panelists will break down what the decision means for your agency, how the Band Manager selection process will work, and how you can influence the next phase.
Attendees of the session will leave with clear, actionable steps to prepare for upcoming changes, safeguard your critical communications, and stay engaged as the FCC moves forward.
