As today’s public safety answering point and emergency communications centers’ (ECC) networking capabilities evolve, so does their ability to engineer more diverse and resilient ESInet and land mobile radio (LMR) network connectivity. FirstNet provides much more than a smartphone to the 9-1-1 community; the network can be used as a resilient transport option for agencies’ key communications paths – for the phone, including 9-1-1 calls, the radio, and other applications like NG9-1-1.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how FirstNet can provide resiliency to ESInets and LMR networks, such as FirstNet as Wireless Backup and PSAP continuity of operations e.g., "PSAP in a box".
Learn how ECCs are using FirstNet to integrate LMR-to-LTE communications.
Learn about relevant use cases from agencies implementing these capabilities today.
