GSC17-PLEN-76
Overview
 TIA continues to work on this important HIS area, in all four
legs of the GSC framework for “Emergency
Communications”
 Individuals-to-Individuals also known as Citizen-to-Citizen,
Employer-to-Employee, etc.
 Individuals-to-Government or Authorities, such as calls to PSAPs,
9-1-1, etc.
 Government-to-Individuals, such as Alerts and Warnings,
Evacuation Orders, etc.
 Government-to-Government or Authority-to-Authority, e.g., Project
25 (P25), TETRA, MESA, etc.
 This framework has served our Sector well since it was
adopted by GSC

Legislative/Regulatory Actions Affecting
Emergency Communications Standards
 Narrowband
 As of November 9, 2012, the FCC permits the certification and
use of Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) equipment in the 450470 MHz portion of the UHF band (421-512 MHz) and non-public
safety Business/Industrial Land Transportation 800 MHz band
channels (809-824/854-869 MHz).
 As of January 1, 2013, the FCC requires narrowband operation
(maximum 12.5 kHz channel bandwidth or equivalent efficiency) by
private land mobile radio (PLMR) licensees in the 150-174 MHz
and 421-470 MHz (VHF/UHF) bands.

Legislative/Regulatory Actions Affecting
Emergency Communications Standards
 Broadband
 The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L.
No. 112-96) established the First Responder Network Authority
(FirstNet) to oversee the construction and operation of a new
public safety broadband network using both the existing public
safety broadband spectrum (763-769/793-799 MHz) and the
spectrally adjacent D Block spectrum (758-763/788-793 MHz).
• The network will based on commercial standards for Long Term
Evolution (LTE) service.
 Already-existing public safety broadband network deployments, at
one time suspended by the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration, have been authorized to negotiate
resumption of deployments conditioned on interoperability with
FirstNet.

TIA Outreach/Advocacy Regarding
Emergency Communications Standards
 TIA very actively advocates for the use of industry-led, consensusbased standards to be used as safe harbors for legal compliance (but
not as requirements).
 TIA represents the ICT manufacturer and vendor community to the
Congress, and at various Federal agencies including the FCC, NTIA,
FirstNet, etc. – issues advocated on also include wireless 911 location
accuracy, text-to-911, reliability of networks supporting emergency
communications, and many others.
 Please see TIA’s relevant web page (http://www.tiaonline.org/policy/publicsafety) to learn more about our issues and filings.
 TIA is a member of the FCC’s Communications Security, Reliability,
and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) and Emergency Access Advisory
Committee (EAAC), as well as private partnerships including the Land
Mobile Communications Council (LMCC), the National Public Safety
Telecommunications Council (NPSTC).
 TIA regularly meets with public safety interests to coordinate and learn

of their priorities.

Highlights of TR-8 Activities
 TIA, through the TR-8 committee on Private Land Mobile
Radio, develops standards for Emergency
Communications in several areas:
 Maintains standards for existing analog (Frequency Modulated)
radio systems
 Develops and maintains a suite of standards for Project 25, a
digital radio system targeted at Public Safety and Disaster Relief
 Develops and maintains standards and bulletins relating to radio
propagation, interference, and frequency coordination
 Develops standards and bulletins relating to wideband and
broadband radio systems for Public Safety and Disaster Relief
applications

Commercial Mobile Alert Service
(CMAS)
Background:
• The “Warning, Alert, and Response Network” Act Signed into law on
October 13, 2006
• Sets in motion the planning for “Commercial Mobile Service” Providers to
“voluntarily” send emergency alerts to their subscribers
– “Commercial Mobile Service Providers” are considered to be cellular and
paging companies.
– Only the service is discussed – technology choices are not specified
• Thus, Sub-Committees developing these standards have the option of choosing a
specific technology
– This work is Regional [US based]
•
•
•
Joint development activity between TR-45 [TR-45.5 and TR-45.8] and
ATIS to develop CMAS-related specifications common to both groups
Core Standards for 1x cdma2000®1 CMAS air interface documents have
completed development and published.
C Interface test specification has been published
1cdma2000®
is the trademark for the technical nomenclature for certain specifications and standards of the
Organizational Partners (OPs) of 3GPP2. Geographically (and as of the date of publication), cdma2000® is a
registered trademark of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA-USA) in the United States.
