A moderated panel discussion comprising National Capital Region (NCR) public safety communications SMEs who describe in the wake of the Nashville bombing, the NCR’s efforts to enhance telecommunications resiliency. The ever-growing demand for wireless and fiber broadband requires closer collaboration between government and private industry to strengthen the survivability of these networks. The panel will share examples of successful regional collaboration that can be replicated in other areas across the country. One hour in length.

Learning Objectives:

Describe how state and local public safety communications practitioners can collaboratively work together to better understand their region’s telecommunications network.
Take the NCR’s shared experiences and use them to jump-start similar efforts across the country.
Understand how the telecom carriers can partner with government to enhance network resiliency.
