Net) Middle Class • February 2012 Tax Relief • “Independent Authority” and Job within NTIA Creation Act 9/11 Commission Report Vision • Interoperability • Provide emergency responders with the first nationwide, high-speed, wireless broadband network dedicated to public safety Arizona Public Safety Broadband
First. Net Beginnings THE LAW 2. 22. 12 First. Net becomes law PL 112 -96 GOVERNANCE The First. Net Board has 15 members, including those with telecommunications and public safety backgrounds Each Governor appoints 1 Single Point of Contact (SPOC) and governing body to represent the state’s interests to First. Net FUNDING Initial funding from spectrum auctions $7 B fully satisfied (funded) First. Net is allowed to lease unused spectrum once operational (worth more than $7 B) User fees MUST BE A FULLY SELF-SUSTAINED MODEL BAND CLASS (BC) 14 20 MHz of bandwidth has been dedicated to public safety in the prime upper 700 MHz frequency range 40 member Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) advises First. Net on public safety intergovernmental matters May 2, 2015 5

Public Safety Advisory Committee • 40 Members • Represent all public safety disciplines • Organizations such as APCO, NENA, NASCIO, etc. • Task Teams • Use Cases for Interfaces, Applications, and Capabilities • Human Factors Report • Working Groups • Tribal • Early Builders • Federal 7
Tribal Working Group • “A Tribal Working Group (TWG), comprised of volunteer delegates from associations with diverse geographic and disciplinary interests in tribal public safety, was established to provide advice on Indian Country outreach, education, and inclusive engagement strategies. First. Net’s intent is to inform and involve federally recognized tribes in planning for and deployment of the First. Net network. The TWG provides unique and valuable perspective to First. Net’s Board and staff, as well as to state single points of contact (SPOCs). They meet monthly via teleconference, along with several in-person meetings each year. ” 8 http: //www. firstnet. gov/consultation/public-safety-advisory-committee/working-groups

Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network High Speed Data Network • 4 G LTE Cellular Technology • Just like Verizon Wireless, ATT, Sprint, etc. • Dedicated to public safety • Dedicated bandwidth will allow public safety to access mission critical data without having to compete with commercial users • Will allow bandwidth intensive applications such as streaming video
First. Net Business Model
First. Net Funding First. Net is a Zero-Sum Game • Fees = Costs • All First. Net fees are reinvested to construct, maintain, operate, or improve the nationwide network Three Funding Sources • $7 billion • Excess spectrum capacity fees • Subscriber fees
Public Safety has a mission critical data network just like they have a separate twoway radio network for voice communications. Public Safety currently relies on the same commercial carriers as the general public for data.
Public safety data takes priority on carrier mobile networks. Commercial carriers cannot provide priority or exclusivity for public safety.
In a disaster or other emergencies, public safety can take over carrier networks. Public safety has no means of preempting users on carrier networks.
The Possibilities with the NPSBN • Initially send data, video, images, and text, and make cellular quality voice calls • Fast access to needed information to complete mission • Priority access • Modular on-scene access Applications that may be supported by First. Net • High speed internet access • Status webpage • VPN support • SMS/MMS services • Video services • Hosted applications (NCIC, CJIC, etc. ) • Dynamic Priority and QOS adjustments • 911 services (traditional and NG 911) • Cellular Telephony • Commercial Mobile Alert System

With Public Safety Broadband… • Built to public safety standards • National interoperability • 4 G LTE standards for high speed data • Security Fast Access – All on your mobile device!
Ubiquitous Interoperability: Federal, Tribal, State and Local Responders
Coverage Challenges The NPSBN is intended to cover: • • 50 States 6 Territories 3, 250 Counties 3. 8 Million Square Miles (the vast majority is rural or wilderness)
Coverage Options The nature of the terrain, the density of populations, and the preexistence of other infrastructure are factors when determining coverage approaches. Big Cells Small Cells Macro. Cells Micro. Cells Pico. Cells Femto. Cells Deployables Co. Ws Satellite Repeaters Vehicles Deployables
Public Safety Grade Considerations Physical Resiliency • Diverse routing of cell site links • Redundant core • Site hardening (security, shelters, etc. ) • Backup power (UPS and Generator) Operational Reliability • Security • Capacity and availability • Spares, support, time to repair Coverage • Where and when its needed • Deployable systems • Satellite • New technologies Public Safety Features (to be incorporated into LTE) • • • Priority Access Preemption Quality of Service Direct device-to-device Group communications Push to talk
Use Applications The NPSBN will provide fast access to applications which can be shared broadly or on a limited, credentialed basis. Examples include: • • • Streaming video / surveillance Large file transfer / download Situational awareness Field fingerprinting Field reporting GIS / Mapping tools Locations of local resources / infrastructure Electronic access to building blueprints Medical histories • • Medical telemetry Material safety information Command post operations Database queries Reference: First.

Phased Deployment First. Net anticipates a phased deployment • Five phases, plus expansion phases Business Model • Sustainability requirement
First. Net Current Status January 2016 First. Net released an RFP for a national partner to build the network Responses were due May 31, 2016 Three known responses were received • AT&T • Rivada Mercury • pdv. Wireless (Code 3 Broadband) October 2016 Rivada Mercury and pdv. Wireless were advised there proposals were no longer in the “competitive range”
Bid Protest • Rivada Mercury has filed a bid protest • First. Net had intended on awarding the contract by November 1, 2016 • The bid protest has delayed the award until at least March 2017 • March 3, 2017, the Federal Court ruled in favor of First. Net – it is anticipated First. Net will now move forward with their contract award
State Planning Process • Below is a conceptual depiction of the planning timeline if the First. Net award is made in March 2017
State Planning Process First. Net intends to deliver “draft” state plans to all 56 states and territories simultaneously Iterative Process between States and First. Net Draft plans are returned to First. Net for finalizing. Final plans to be delivered to the governor for his decision. This is anticipated to happen within 6 months of the First. Net RFP award Governor has 90 days to make his “Opt-in/Opt -out” decision
Opt-in/Opt-out Final plan given to governor • 90 day clock starts for governor’s decision • Opt-In • No decision within 90 day window automatically triggers Opt-in • First. Net will build and operate RAN in accordance with deployment plan • No mandate for individual agency adoption
Opt-in/Opt-out (cont’d) Opt-in • First. Net responsibility • Construct the RAN within the state • Operate the network from a business perspective • Set and Collect user fees • Agency responsibility • NOT mandated to adopt or use the network • If using the network, must pay user fees and pay for devices
Opt-in/Opt-out (cont’d) Opt-Out • State will build and operate the RAN • Must negotiate CLA with First. Net to utilize First. Net core • Must negotiate spectrum lease agreement with First. Net • 180 day clock activated • State must develop deployment plan to be approved by FCC and NTIA • State can apply to NTIA for grant funding • If State plan not completed or approved within 180 days, then automatic Opt-in • **Revenue generated by the State must go to First. Net • SLIGP funding cannot be used for any opt-out planning
