2. Overview • TIA continues to work on this important HIS area, in all four legs of the GSC framework for “Emergency Communications” • Individuals-to-Individuals also known as Citizen-to-Citizen, Employer-to-Employee, etc. • Individuals-to-Government or Authorities, such as calls to PSAPs, 9-1-1, etc. • Government-to-Individuals, such as Alerts and Warnings, Evacuation Orders, etc. • Government-to-Government or Authority-to-Authority, e.g., Project 25 (P25), TETRA, MESA, etc. • This framework has served our Sector well since it was adopted by GSC

3. Overview • TIA was actively involved in the GSC Task Force on Emergency Communications and contributed significantly on TIA’s as well as U.S. activities that are included throughout the report.

4. Legislative/Regulatory Actions Affecting Emergency Communications Standards • Narrowband • As of November 9, 2012, the FCC permits the certification and use of Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) equipment in the 450-470 MHz portion of the UHF band (421-512 MHz) and non-public safety Business/Industrial Land Transportation 800 MHz band channels (809-824/854-869 MHz). • As of January 1, 2013, the FCC requires narrowband operation (maximum 12.5 kHz channel bandwidth or equivalent efficiency) by private land mobile radio (PLMR) licensees in the 150-174 MHz and 421-470 MHz (VHF/UHF) bands.

5. Legislative/Regulatory Actions Affecting Emergency Communications Standards • Broadband • The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. No. 112-96) established the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) to oversee the construction and operation of a new public safety broadband network using both the existing public safety broadband spectrum (763-769/793-799 MHz) and the spectrally adjacent D Block spectrum (758-763/788-793 MHz). • The network will based on commercial standards for Long Term Evolution (LTE) service. • Already-existing public safety broadband network deployments, at one time suspended by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, have been authorized to negotiate resumption of deployments conditioned on interoperability with FirstNet.

6. TIA Outreach/Advocacy Regarding Emergency Communications Standards • TIA very actively advocates for the use of industry-led, consensus-based standards to be used as safe harbors for legal compliance (but not as requirements). • TIA represents the ICT manufacturer and vendor community to the Congress, and at various Federal agencies including the FCC, NTIA, FirstNet, etc. – issues advocated on also include wireless 911 location accuracy, text-to-911, reliability of networks supporting emergency communications, and many others. • Please see TIA’s relevant web page (http://www.tiaonline.org/policy/public-safety) to learn more about our issues and filings. • TIA is a member of the FCC’s Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) and Emergency Access Advisory Committee (EAAC), as well as private partnerships including the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC), the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC). • TIA regularly meets with public safety interests to coordinate and learn of their priorities.

10. Highlights of TR-45 Activities • TR-45 does work to support Government-to-Government, CMAS, and Wireless Priority Services • continues to actively partner with ATIS WTSC developing joint standards for CMAS, JSMS911, Emergency Services • working with 3GPP2 on the requirements and network support for Multimedia Priority Services • New work item on DRVCC (Dual Radio Voice Call Continuity) 10

11. Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS) Background: The “Warning, Alert, and Response Network” Act Signed into law on October 13, 2006 Sets in motion the planning for “Commercial Mobile Service” Providers to “voluntarily” send emergency alerts to their subscribers “Commercial Mobile Service Providers” are considered to be cellular and paging companies. Only the service is discussed – technology choices are not specified Thus, Sub-Committees developing these standards have the option of choosing a specific technology This work is Regional [US based] Joint development activity between TR-45 [TR-45.5 and TR-45.8] and ATIS to develop CMAS-related specifications common to both groups Core Standards for 1x cdma2000®1 CMAS air interface documents have completed development and published. C Interface test specification has been published 1cdma2000® is the trademark for the technical nomenclature for certain specifications and standards of the Organizational Partners (OPs) of 3GPP2.Geographically (and as of the date of publication), cdma2000® is a registered trademark of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA-USA) in the United States. 11
