TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD FOR FIRST RESPONDER
INTEROPERABILITY SUBMITS REPORT TO FCC
Washington, D.C. – This press release is issued on behalf of the
Technical Advisory Board for First Responder Interoperability (Interoperability Board). The Interoperability Board
was established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pursuant to Title VI of the Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act). The Interoperability Board was required to develop recommendations
for minimum technical requirements to ensure a nationwide level of interoperability for the Nationwide Public
Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) and submit those recommendations to the FCC. The recommendations are to be
ultimately submitted to the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet). Meeting its statutory requirements, the
Interoperability Board formally submitted their recommendations to the FCC on May 22, 2012.
On March 22,
2012, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski appointed 14 members, who along with one non-voting member selected by the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and established the Interoperability Board.
Chairman, Charles L.K. Robinson and Vice Chairman, Kenneth C. Budka, were elected by the Board members. “The FCC
assembled a very talented team of professionals to take on the challenge of developing these critical recommended
requirements within a very compressed scheduled,” said Robinson. The Interoperability Board worked in consultation
with NTIA, the National Institute for Standards and Technology, and the Office of Emergency Communications of the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Interoperability Board also used subject matter experts
(SMEs),
from both inside and outside the members’ organizations, which proved to be critical to the quality of the Board’s
work. “The representatives of the Consulting Agencies have been thorough and forward thinking in helping the
Interoperability Board meet its statutory requirement,” said Robinson. The Board’s commitment to seeking the
broadest possible input within its constrained schedule aided them it developing a complete set of recommended
minimum technical requirements within the scope of the Spectrum Act.These requirements not only seek nationwide
interoperability but set a minimal baseline that, if adhered to, can further an interoperable, multi-vendor
network for first responders. “We [the

the unique collaboration between all of the Interoperability Board members, many SMEs, the Consulting Agencies and
the public, the Board was able to successfully achieve its legislative mandate within 60 days. With the
requirement recommendations of the Board now released, the Board anticipates that the FCC will continue to move
forward in developing its interoperability requirements for FirstNet focused on ensuring the interoperability of
the
NPSBN.”

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
