Status Briefing: PSSA’s ongoing efforts to secure 4.9 GHz spectrum for Public Safety: Aired April 24, 2023
The Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA), a program of the Public Safety Broadband Technology Association (PSBTA), is comprised of industry and public safety leadership from all corners of the country. These leaders have been advocating for and representing the needs of public safety in the fight to preserve critical spectrum. Join us to learn how the PSSA has been working to protect our fellow first responders’ usage – current and future – of the 4.9 GHz Band. The PSSA upholds the goal to create a consistent, nationwide framework for the 4.9 GHz Band that protects incumbents and fosters efficient use of this important mid-band spectrum with a specific emphasis on preserving the integrity and priority of public safety communications within the band, which must remain the primary driver and use of the band. You will also learn why it is vital for all members of the public safety community to use their voices to protect 4.9.

The Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA) is an alliance amongst the nation’s leading public safety leaders and associations, promoting unity within the public safety community. Our goal is to raise awareness, educate, and protect public safety communications needs nationwide, including the use of the 4.9 GHz Public Safety Band. The PSSA remains committed to representing public safety and helping decision-makers understand the vital nature of this spectrum to our community.
We invite you to join PSSA leadership to learn about current efforts to continue to protect the 4.9 GHz Band for public safety. Learn about recent filings, key decisions impacting these efforts, and how you can support PSSA’s initiative to protect the 4.9 GHz band for public safety.
How FirstNet Deployables Can Help You During a Disaster
When a disaster hits, FirstNet helps your organization stay connected to ensure you have access to voice and data when it matters most. From Compact Rapid Depolyables (CRDs) to Cells on Light Trucks (SatCOLTs) and Cells on Wheels (COWs), the FirstNet Response Operations Group (ROG) has more than 180 dedicated deployable network assets to assist public safety and communities.
Optimizing the power of AI & FirstNet for public safety
Artificial Intelligence (AI) & FirstNet are changing the landscape of public safety communications. Working in concert, these tools will not only help first responders and the public safety community, but exponentially increase the efficiency and accuracy of mission-critical responses.
Join Michael Barnbeck, Deputy Executive Director of the PSBTA, and Stephen Devine, Chief Technology Officer of APCO International, as they delve into the wide world of AI. Specifically, they will discuss what is AI, how does AI integrate with public safety broadband, explore use cases where AI has been successful, and the importance of FirstNet reauthorization to the expansion and evolution of AI.
