As the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network moves closer to becoming reality, FirstNet continues to rely heavily on insight, information and valuable data gained from early builders charting the course for the implementation. Hear from the Texas single point of contact for FirstNet about critical lessons that will benefit other states implementing the network.

In addition, learn how the state of Arizona overcame challenges such as end-of-life systems, constrained budgets and impending NG911 by partnering with its 911 service provider to deploy NG911 managed services. This presentation addresses the contract negotiation process, establishing critical-service level agreements and benefits of a service-based solution.
