NC Connect and FirstNet

MIKE OZBURN

Three Key Goals

1. FirstNet…what is it?

2. NC SLIGP Planning Effort…what’s going on?

3. NC Connect…why is it relevant?

Purpose of SLIGP“The SLIGP is designed as a formula-based, matching program to assist States, in collaboration with regional, tribal, and local jurisdictions, to perform activities related to planning for the establishment of a nationwide public safety broadband network.”

•“NTIA will focus initially on planning, consulting, and development activities in preparation for consultations with FirstNet, including strategy and timeline development, meetings, governance planning, and outreach and education efforts.”

•“The second phase will not begin until either after FirstNet has consulted with the State-designated contact about the matters listed in the Act, including coverage needs, user requirements, and network hardening and resiliency requirements, and advises NTIA it is ready for the commencement of data collection, or when NTIA requests a revised budget from recipients for second phase activities.”

Key Take-Aways1. The SLIGP effort is NOT the same as the

FirstNet effort

2. SLIGP supports NC’s effort to get ready for a FirstNet decision

3. SLIGP is about aligning supply and demand

4. NC Connect = How we will elevate FirstNet

Key Take-Aways1. The SLIGP effort is NOT the same as the FirstNet effort

– FirstNet is the Network Operator– SLIGP is the program to help the “customer” get ready

Key Take-Aways2. SLIGP supports NC’s effort to get ready for a FirstNet decision

– Established a governance structure to consult with FirstNet– Developed procedures to ensure local and tribal representation and

participation in the consultation process with FirstNet– Created a process for education and outreach, through program

development or through other efforts, among local and tribal officials, public safety users, and other stakeholders about the nationwide public safety broadband network;

– Developed a standard Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to facilitate the use of existing infrastructure with private sector entities that have been chosen by FirstNet to build, operate and maintain the network on public safety infrastructure, or identified the legal barriers to creating a standard MOA and describe potential remedies

– Developed staffing plans that include local and tribal representation to participate in the public safety governance structure and to prepare for data collection activities in consultation with FirstNet

– Prepared a comprehensive plan as part of existing Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP), or a plan complementary to and similar in concept to their SCIP, describing the public safety needs that they expect FirstNet to address in its design of the nationwide public safety broadband network, as well as how they intend to satisfy each of the elements enumerated above, including milestones that demonstrate their progress.

Key Take-Aways3. SLIGP is about aligning supply and demand

– Ultimate decision is about whether FirstNet meets State needs

– Critical near-term work will be in understanding the needs

• Who are the users?

• What are the key “data” applications to be supported?

• What will governance look like in this service model?– Asset inventories and network analysis cannot begin until 2Q15
