Users and Coverage Goals Users and Coverage Goals 1. First Responder Users / Operations  Identify potential user base and their operational areas  Estimate current usage of mobile data today 2. Coverage  Review FirstNet Initial Coverage Objectives  Discuss State Inputs and Approach to Objectives  Discuss Coverage Modeling and Desired Outputs January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 2

Key Inputs to FirstNet Design Key Inputs to FirstNet Design Where? FirstNet Financial Team Coverage • RFP Development/Evaluation • Where Needed (Objectives) • Where Needed (Objectives) • Economic Modeling • Different Device Types • Different Device Types • Throughput levels • Throughput levels Nationwide Design How Much? Capacity • # of Users and Devices • # of Users and Devices • Application Usage • Application Usage FirstNet Engineering Team • Data Consumption • Data Consumption • RFP Development/Evaluation • Core, RAN and Devices January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 3

Guiding Principles for Data Guiding Principles for Data Requests Requests • Critical Data: only gather critically essential data • When Needed: collect data close to when it will be used to ensure accuracy • Pre ‐ populate: where possible, FirstNet will collect as much data as possible from available sources for editing and validation • Specify Deliverables: identify required deliverable formats, not necessarily specific tools and processes • Be Flexible: allow flexibility given different stakeholders’ existing use of tools, processes and resource constraints • Get Feedback: socialize the process before formalizing • Advance Notice: identify schedule, process and tools as early as possible for stakeholders to plan accordingly • Local Knowledge: rely on stakeholder knowledge to help prioritize data collection January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 4

What kind of assessment has been done on the potential user base? Current provider? Device types and counts? Procurement options and vehicles? Typical costs? Current usage amounts? Growth projections? Operational areas? Potential adoption? *Several inputs: current usage, adoption rate, growth projections, new devices, etc. January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 5

Users / Operations Collection Users / Operations Collection CASM NextGen – Communications Assets Survey and Mapping Next Generation MDST – Mobile Data Survey Tool CASM CASM State State OEC Coverage OEC Coverage MDST MDST NextGen NextGen Collection Collection Workshop Data Workshop Data Disc. # Agencies # of Users LE: 1.5 LE: 22,500 Voice, Video, LE 250 15,000 Data Usage Fire: 1.0 Fire: 20,000 Voice, Video, Profile Fire 300 20,000 Data Usage EMS: 2.0 EMS: 10,000 Voice, Video, Profile EMS 125 5,000 Data Usage Other: 1.5 Other: 75,000 Profile Other 500 50,000 # of Agencies and Users Device per # of Potential Usage Profile Operational Area & (Just Example Totals) Devices User Factor Location/Amount of Responses *In the absence of any of this data, FirstNet will use baseline assumptions and estimates January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 6

Users / Operations Collection Users / Operations Collection • FirstNet will provide a spreadsheet template defining requested fields (similar to example below) • CASM NextGen could support this type of data capture and reporting • State may already have existing database and/or tools for use • FirstNet looking at comprehensive tool to support all data uploads Full Time Part Time Volunteer Total # of mobile Calls for Agency POC Discipline County State Jurisdiction Personnel Personnel Personnel Personnel data devices Service data If available If available Spreadsheet template for Agencies, Users and Devices January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 7

Users / Operations Collection Users / Operations Collection • Usage profiles will include important information on how public safety entities may use FirstNet • Historic use is also helpful to show growth trends • Important metrics include: Law Enforcement – Number of responders and devices User (Busy Hour): – Type of responders (discipline) xxx kbps SMS/text – Location of responders xxx kbps voice calls – Variability by incident types and scale xxx kbps video – Upload vs. Download xxx kbps other data – Data usage by application xxx kbps total usage – Time data sent • Data can be averaged by: – Discipline – Area – Incident types • Leverage same upload portal mentioned previously Has any analysis like this been done already? Could information like this be gathered from representative agencies? January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 8

Current Providers / Procurement Current Providers / Procurement • Capture current service providers – Commercial and Private • Identify major procurement vehicles / options • Identify different service plan types and costs • Capture any specialized services – COLTs/COWs, network interfaces/customization, etc. • Identify current barriers January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 9

Coverage Objectives

Coverage Objectives vs. Coverage Objectives vs. Coverage Maps Coverage Maps  What is a Coverage Objective? Targeted areas within a state/territory identifying where FirstNet coverage is projected to be needed  What is a Coverage Map? A predicted coverage footprint showing where devices can reliably communicate with each other above a minimum data rate Coverage Objectives are NOT Coverage Maps January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 12 12

FirstNet’s Coverage Objective FirstNet’s Coverage Objective Goals Goals  GOAL: Come up with a consistent, nationwide starting point to objectively identify Public Safety’s coverage desires 1. Set a FirstNet Nationwide Coverage Objective Baseline  Identify initial coverage objectives relevant to Public Safety’s desires  Develop a systematic, consistent and objective approach applied nationwide  Leverage feedback from OEC’s Coverage Workshops  Generate maps to document the starting point 2. Facilitate coverage discussion for a phased build out  Include additional data to tailor needs for each state  Modify based on stakeholder input and feedback 3. Generate coverage maps based on culmination of acquisition process FirstNet Envisions Continued Discussion and Revisions on Coverage Beyond Delivery of a State Plan January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 13 13
